Note that Code is a unique value. Before entering it, please make sure that there is no other shift in the selected group with the same shift code.

Start
Enter the Start time of the Shift.
Note that this option will be active only in case shift group is not flexible.

Cutoff
This value is intended for those employees who are assigned to a floating shift. When the employee checks in, the system uses this value to find the closest shift and to assign the employee to this shift. If the employee's check in time is after the Cutoff, the system moves down the list to compare with the next shift of the same shift group.
Note that the Cutoff value must be higher than the Stop time of the previous Shift, but cannot be higher than the Start time of the next Shift.

Enter the Stop time of the Shift.
Note that this option will be active only in case shift group is not flexible.

Gross
This value is generated automatically and shows the total duration of the shift.
Note that in case the shift group is fixed, this value is equal to the difference of Stop and Start times and in case the shift group is flexible it is equal to the sum of Total value and Lunch/Breaks durations. In both cases this option is not editable and its value can't be entered manually

Lunch/Breaks
This value is generated automatically and shows the sum of the durations of the shift's lunches and breaks.
Note that this option is not editable and its value can't be entered manually.

Total
This value shows the total duration of the shift's working time and is calculated by subtracting the total duration of lunches and breaks from the Gross value.
Note that in case the shift group is fixed, this option is not editable and its value can't be entered manually, but in case the shift group is flexible, it is to be entered manually.
