Annual Calendar
Definition
The annual calendar is a color graphic layout of one employee’s time data over one calendar year or for an individually selected period of several months. It provides a complete overview of the position and frequency of whole-day and several-day time entries such as shifts, leave, and illness.
Use
The annual calendar is particularly useful for processing time data if
Because time entries are displayed in different colors, this view is useful as an initial navigation view or search help. You can quickly find information relevant for time management, even if you do not know exactly where to look. You can then go directly to the relevant daily or weekly view.
You can use the annual calendar as a record of absence to evaluate a year. The calendar enables you to have a quick overview of the course of time entries and to check that they are complete. You can quickly identify significant deviations to the work schedule that caused an employee to be unavailable. Anything out of the ordinary can be detected at a glance, for example, if absences such as leave and illness directly follow on from each another.
The annual calendar provides a quick overview of the sequence of shifts for employees with irregular work schedules.
