The "Workload Schemes" setting in the Teamployees plugin allows team managers to define and manage various workload schemes in the organization. These schemes help in distributing tasks and responsibilities effectively, ensuring a balanced workload among employees.
When you first install the Teamployees plugin, all users of your Jira instance are set to a "Default" work schedule, which is a typical 40-hour workweek (8-hour days, 5 days a week).
Create a new Workload Scheme
Define scheme details:
Name: Enter a name for the scheme.
Description: Provide a brief description of the scheme.
Work Schedule: Set the total number of working hours for each day. If the day of the week will be a “day off”, such as Saturday or Sunday, leave the value as 00:00.
Click "Add" to finalize and store the new workload scheme.
For example, let's create a schedule for employees who work only 4 hours a day, for example from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM from Monday to Wednesday:
Assigning a Workload Scheme
Go to "Manage Users" in the settings section.
Choose the team member or group you wish to assign the scheme to.
Select the appropriate workload scheme from the dropdown menu.
See this section of the documentation for more information on assigning the workload schemes.
Modifying the Default Scheme
The default workload scheme ensures that all new Jira users are automatically assigned a predefined workload distribution, simplifying the onboarding process and maintaining consistency.
To replace the existing default scheme, click the icon next to the desired new workload scheme. After this change, all new users added to the Jira instance will be assigned this schema by default.
Managing and Editing Schemes
Once a workload scheme is created, there is no way to edit it. But you can archive and delete unused or erroneously created schemas.
