The Recurring Schedules page allows you to view a calendar displaying an employee's recurring schedule assignments. From this page, you can open the Edit Recurring Schedules page to view more details about specific assignments and edit or delete them if necessary.

Note: You can also use the Edit Single mode on the Recurring Schedules tab on the Schedules page to view and edit or delete a single employee's recurring schedule assignments. You can use the Assign Multiple mode on the Recurring Schedules tab to modify recurring schedule assignments for multiple employees.

To delete an employee's recurring schedule assignment:

  1. From the Home page, click the Schedules link.

  2. Click the Recurring Schedules tab.

    Tip: Depending upon how your system is configured, an employee may have more than one Employee ID. If necessary, adjust the Employee Filter and Schedule Filter until the employee whose recurring schedule assignment you want to delete is visible in the schedule grid. You may also need to use the vertical scroll bar to bring the employee into view.

  3. In the employee (left) column of the schedule grid, click the Recurring Schedule button next to the employee's name. The Recurring Schedules page will open and display the employee's recurring schedule assignments for a four-week period beginning with the week that was being viewed on the Schedules page.

    Notes:
    If a recurring schedule has been assigned to a specific day, the descriptive name of the recurring schedule (for example, Basic Schedule) will appear in the calendar cell for that day and the start and end time of the schedule time pair will be shown. If an earnings code has been assigned to the schedule, it will be shown in parentheses. If a recurring schedule has been overridden by a daily schedule, the recurring schedule name still appears in the date cell, but the schedule time pair represents the daily schedule and is marked with a black dot. If a schedule time pair appears with a black dot in a date cell that does not contain a recurring schedule name, a daily schedule, but no recurring schedule, has been assigned for that date. If neither a recurring schedule nor a daily schedule has been assigned for a particular date, the calendar cell will be empty except for the date.

    The Recurring Schedules calendar can only display one schedule time pair per day, so the Multiple Schedules icon is used to indicate that an employee has more that one schedule on a day. When an employee has multiple schedules, the time pair displayed in the Recurring Schedules calendar is made up of the employee's earliest scheduled in time and latest scheduled out time for the day. To view each schedule, click the Monthly Schedule link to switch to the Monthly Schedule page, and then click in the date cell for the same date. The Edit Schedule page will show each schedule assigned for the day.

  4. Click a calendar cell for any day to which the schedule you want to delete has been assigned. A New Recurring Schedule page will open for the selected date.

    Tips:
    If necessary, adjust the Recurring Schedules page start date until the recurring schedule assignment you want to delete becomes visible.

    By default, the Recurring Schedules page displays the four-week period that begins with the earliest week that was being viewed in the schedule grid. However, unlike the grid on the Schedules page (which can start on any day of the week), the Recurring Schedules view always starts with the day of the week specified as the start day of week for your company.

    The Previous and Next buttons move the Recurring Schedules view backwards and forwards in four-week increments. You can also change the range of dates displayed by selecting a date using the Calendar Lookup button (or by manually entering a date into the date box) and then clicking the Find button. The Recurring Schedules page will refresh and display the four-week period that begins with the week that contains the date you entered. To return to a four-week view that begins with the current week, click the Current Week button.

  5. On the New Recurring Schedule page, click the Edit [Recurring Schedule Name] now link to open the Edit Recurring Schedules page.

    Tip: This link will only be available if the date cell you clicked had a recurring schedule assigned to it.

  6. If you want to view more information about the recurring schedule before deciding whether to delete it, click the Preview link to view in a pop-up window the schedule pattern defined for the recurring schedule.

    Tip: To view even more detail about the recurring schedule, click a week number in the preview. The window will expand to show more detailed information, such as multiple time pairs on the schedule or the earnings code, lunch plan, shift rule, Flextime rule or labor charge categories that have been associated with the schedule. When you are finished looking at the preview and/or detail, click Close.

  7. If you want to delete the recurring schedule assignment, click the Delete button. The recurring schedule will be removed from the employee's schedule for the entire period defined by the Start Date and End Date.

    Note: You cannot delete a recurring assignment that became effective in a past pay period. If you want to discontinue an existing assignment that you cannot delete, simply change the value in the End Date field to a date in the current pay period (or a future pay period) and then click Submit. The recurring schedule assignment will not be effective after the End Date you specify.

Tip: To view the results of your changes in the Recurring Schedules calendar, click the Recurring Schedules link in the Back To area at the bottom of the Edit Recurring Schedules page. If the employee had been assigned to two or more overlapping or nested recurring schedules, a schedule may still appear in the Recurring Schedules calendar for the dates previously assigned to the deleted schedule. If this happens, the schedule that appears in the calendar will be in effect unless you delete it also.
