  Key Concepts: 
  Shift planning is a component of SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows users to plan and manage the shifts of their employees. It enables users to create and manage shift patterns, assign shifts to employees, and track employee attendance. It also allows users to set up rules for shift scheduling, such as minimum rest times between shifts. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Shift planning can be used to create shift patterns for employees. This includes setting up the start and end times of each shift, as well as the number of hours worked per day. Users can also assign shifts to employees, and track employee attendance. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating shift patterns, it is important to consider the needs of both the employer and the employee. For example, employers should consider the minimum rest times between shifts that are required by law, while employees should be given enough time off between shifts to ensure they are not overworked. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Shift planning is closely related to other components of SAP Personnel Time Management, such as time recording and absence management. These components can be used in conjunction with shift planning to ensure that employees are paid accurately and on time.
