This job aid and video outlines the process for scheduling shift transfers to a different work rule, position, cost center, or labor category.
To transfer a partial shift using Insert Shift:
- Do one of the following:
-
- Right-click one employee, a schedule group, or a set of employment terms.

The Employee glance appears.
- From the Employee glance, select Insert shift transfer.
- Select an Effective Date during the period of the schedule currently loaded.
Important: Insert a shift transfer only for shifts that have 2 or fewer segments because the transfer replaces all segments that follow, including breaks.
- Enter the Start Time using standard time-of-day format. The maximum length of a shift is 24 hours.

Note: If the menu does not include the transfer you want, you can define the transfer or select More at the bottom of the menu to open the Transfer slider.
