What is a Derived Shift Pattern?

A derived shift pattern is built automatically from the site contract times. An employee could be contracted to work on multiple sites on various work patterns. As changes are made to a site contract, the derived shift pattern for any affected employees is re-built automatically. There is configuration in Timegate Web that dictates how far in advance the shift pattern is built (this is normally six months). A derived shift pattern can “tell” Timegate Web the sites that an employee is due to work on any given day, as well as the start and finish time, hour type and pay level of each of those duties.
