Workforce management through work plan assignments enables administrators to assign work plans proactively to agents for a selected date range. Administrators do not need to wait until the particular date to modify the work plans of agents manually. They can make changes that take effect immediately or for a future date. 

Agents can request a change of work plan for a select date, or a temporary change for a set period. The schedule engine recognizes the change automatically to ensure that agents are scheduled for the correct shifts. For example, an agent’s current schedule is based on the late shift work plan. However, from next week the agent must work fixed early shifts for four weeks. Schedule engine schedules the work plan automatically as follows:
  • Week 1 (current week) – Late shifts
  • Week 2 (next week) – Early shifts
  • Week 3 – Early shifts
  • Week 4 – Early shifts
  • Week 5 – Early shifts
  • Week 6 return to Late shifts
Similarly, if an agent currently follows a work plan rotation, they could change the work plan for the selected period until further notice. The agent can also request a permanent change from a set date. For example, when the agent graduates in July, the agent can request to move permanently from the current student hours work plan to a full-time work plan with effect from the first week in August. 

The administrator creates the work plan assignments to include the change in the agent’s work plan schedule. Workforce management overrides the default work plan with the modification made in the Work Plan Assignments page. The future date changes automatically take effect on the chosen date and after the end date of the change is met, the original work plan comes back into effect. 

Work plan overrides take precedence over the settings in the Work Plan Rotations and Work Plan Configurations pages, during the specified date range. 

An administrator can temporarily change the work plan of an agent who is on an early shift work plan with a late shift work plan for a selected period as indicated in the following table.

An administrator can manually change the work plan or change via a work plan bid of the agent from work plan A to work plan C on week 5. This change is made in week 1 so that the future schedules generate accordingly. A work plan override bridges the time between the default work plan that is being changed and when the agent’s schedule should reflect the change.

In this instance, the agent’s default work plan is A and is working on a four-week rotation in weeks 2–5. Now the work plan is scheduled to change to work plan C for week 6. This work plan change can be manually done or changed via a work plan bid. The change is made in week 1 so that future schedules can be generated. 

 A work plan override bridges the time between the change in the default work plan being and the start of work plan rotation. When the work plan rotation ends at the end of week 5, the agent’s work plan automatically changes to work plan C as planned.
