From TimeMinder Help

This "How-To" guide explains how to make a new shift from a similar existing shift, by copying over most of the settings nad changing the time points. Timeminder provides a charged service for setting up new awards or creating many shifts in one go. Contact the Helpdesk for further information.

1. Select Award Setup->Shifts

2. Select an unused Shift from the shift number Selection Box

3. Name the shift

4. In the top right corner, select the number of the shift to copy from in the Copy From box

5. Now change the six time points to match the relevant shift times.

The time points divide up the day into sections. Here, the regular shift is shown in blue, a late/early swipe period (where overtime will not be paid, that is, the time will be rounded back/forward to the regular shift time) is shown in red and potential overtime periods are shown in green

6. At this point, you can choose to modify other settings, like overtime, auto-shift changing, allowances etc.
