Shifts & Schedule Rules

Vritti allows institutions to model flexible working hours, fixed shifts, rotational schedules, grace periods, and late entry calculations.

Creating Shift Templates

  1. Navigate to Shifts in Vritti Console.
  2. Click Create Shift Template.
  3. Fill in the shift configuration:
    • Shift Name: (e.g. Standard Morning, Night Shift, Administrative Shift).
    • Start Time & End Time: Expected arrival and departure times (e.g. 09:00 to 17:00).
    • Grace Period (Minutes): Buffer period allowed after start time (default: 15 minutes).
    • Half-Day Threshold: Minimum hours required to qualify for a full day versus half day.
  4. Click Save Shift.

Shift Automation Rules

Vritti automatically evaluates incoming attendance punches against assigned shift rules:
  • On Time: Punch-in occurs before shift start time + grace period.
  • Late Entry: Punch-in occurs after shift start time + grace period.
  • Early Exit: Punch-out occurs prior to designated shift end time.
  • Half Day: Total duration worked is below 50% of scheduled shift hours.
  • Overtime: Working hours exceeded past designated shift end time plus overtime threshold.
