Flexi Balance
Flexi balance is a scheme where an organisation gives its employees the opportunity of flexible working hours and any extra hours worked over expected daily threshold will get accumulated towards flexi balance to which an employee can take time off in lieu.
Under flexi time, there is normally a core period of the day when employees must be at work (eg between 10 am and 4pm), whilst the rest of the working day is "flexi time", in which staff can choose when they work, subject to achieving total daily, weekly or monthly hours.
An employee must work between the basic core hours and has the flexibility to clock in / out between the other hours.
An example of a typical flexi time day is below:
Begin work between 0700 – 1000 (flexitime)
Must be there between 1000 – 1200 (core time)
Lunch break between 1200 – 1400 (flexible lunch hour)
Must be there from 1400 – 1600 (core time)
Leave between 1600 – 1900 (flexitime)
The hours worked outside these times are credited to flexi balance.
Flexi balance can be set in 2 ways within Synergy Workforce
1. Flexi balance with definable parameters in GUI
2. Flexi balance calculation by SQL script method (complex requirements)
