Note the following:
-
The time bank Feature in WFM that allows employees to work longer hours during busy times and fewer hours during slower times. Employees bank hours when they work more than usual, and subtract hours when they work less than usual. base period dates are based on the organization week boundary day.
-
The algorithm does not distinguish between the first period being a partial or a full week; it puts the hours sequentially into each base period.
-
If there are too few week values, the extra weeks have target hours of 0.
-
If there are too many week values, the extra values are ignored.
-
If a data value is unreadable because it is not numeric, it is replaced with a 0.
-
If a data value is not divisible by 15 minutes, it is rounded to a value divisible by 15.
-
If the Start Day of Week is -1, it is not imported. This value indicates that the data is not weekly data. Only weekly period values can be imported.
