Scheduling RBS (LP) - How can you remove staff from all schedules?

Sara Stone

Hi Sara,

As you are a standalone Labour Productivity user, LP will read whatever data is sent from your 3rd Party HR system including assignment end dates whenever an employee needs to be removed from LP.

We recommend all start and end dates for assignments and employment are sent to Fourth, when they’re known. This reduces the likelihood of issues such as employees remaining assigned to secondary roles that they no longer work on. 

I've taken this example from: https://developer.fourth.com/en-gb/docs/labor-productivity-api/guide

For example, imagine Barbara is employed on the 12th of March as a duty manager at a downtown restaurant, then provides emergency cover for several shifts between the 10th-24th of May at another restaurant, before eventually leaving employment on the 21st of July. The requests for Barbara employment would be:

1. Create employee request sent.
2. Create employment request sent, with the start date set to the 12th of March. There is no end date required. 
3. Create main assignment request sent, with the start date set to the 12th of March. This sets her job, location, and pay rate for the assignment. You don’t need to specify an end date.
4. Create secondary assignment request sent in early May, with a start date of the 10th of May. 
5. Update secondary assignment request sent in late May, with an end date specified. This finishes the secondary assignment.
6. Update employment request sent, with an end date of the 21st of July. This also ends any assignments and removes Barbara from shift schedules. Her access to specific Fourth applications may be disabled automatically (based on your agreement with Fourth).
