Summary

A Tour is a roster pattern for a defined cycle length or duration. The duration is determined by the number of days that elapse before the tour repeats itself.

Shifts are attached to a Tour (see Tours - Shifts). A Shift Code is specified for each working day in a Tour cycle. Tours are attached to large groups of employees. They repeat for as long as required.

For example, employees work a 14-day Tour consisting of two sets of Shifts:

This Tour is attached to an employee on the date they start work at a company. Employees may enter at any point of a Tour. Employees often start on different days in a Tour cycle.

Changing a Tour

When a Tour changes, the change applies to all employees attached to the Tour.

When an employee's Future Roster changes, the Timeband Overrides or Shift Overrides tab page in the employee file also changes.
