Create an overnight workforce rota shift
Use different end/start times where the v1.3.0 hours and overlap functions treat an end time at or before start as the following day.
Exact navigation Admin Area → Human Resources → Workforce Rota & Notifications → Create/Amend Rota → Shift rows
Code-backed scope These instructions follow Human Resource Management v1.3.0. Use only controls visible to your permission level and confirm the saved record or audit entry after every action.
What you need before you start
- Access to Admin Area → Human Resources → Workforce Rota & Notifications → Create/Amend Rota → Shift rows.
- The Human Resource Management: View capability or administrator access.
- The correct employee, record, period or authorised evidence.
How to do it
- Choose the shift date as the date the shift starts.
- Enter the evening Start time.
- Enter the following-morning End time.
- Enter the break.
- Save and verify calculated hours and conflict checks.
What the module checks
- When end time is earlier than start time, the hours and overlap functions add 24 hours to the end.
- Start and end cannot be identical.
- Availability-window validation must also permit the shift.
What happens next
The module saves the permitted change and records the resulting status, version, delivery or synchronisation evidence. Reopen the relevant register and verify it.
Troubleshooting
- If the control is missing, confirm the required HRM permission and module version 1.3.0.
- If saving fails, correct the exact field or state named in the validation message.
- If an email/automation is missing, review the module delivery/audit log and host cron/mail settings.
HR data safety Restrict identity, right-to-work, payroll, bank, health, disciplinary and document information to authorised staff. Do not place protected values in free-text notes, email recipients or screenshots.
