Job Calendar
Role: User role
The Job Calendar option allows users to view their USPS job calendar(s), or work schedule in ESS. The job calendar provides the employee’s work schedule, including all work days, holidays, calamity days, makeup days, and non-work days (blank days on the job calendar). For employees who have more than one position with the district, users can use the ‘Positions’ dropdown to select the appropriate position. Once a position is selected, the associated job calendar and calendar description will be displayed. The Job Calendar is pulled from the USPS Position’s compensation record. There must be a current USPS compensation record for the position for the Job Calendar to display. The start/stop dates on the USPS compensation record will be compared to the current date, and if the current date is within the start/stop dates, the Job Calendar will be displayed. (NOTE: see below if the district enters Job Calendars on the USPS Pay Groups)
Positions: If the employee has several positions, they can select which USPS Job Calendar to display.
Allows the user to click forward and backward depending on the calendar view selected. The date picker allows the user to select a specific day.
Will display the current date.
Allows the user to pick from several calendar view formats. The default view is ‘Monthly Calendar’, but the user has the option to select a different view format (i.e. weekly, daily, etc).
The Job Calendar option may be removed from the menu by deselecting ‘job calendar’ from System>Configuration>ESS Functionality Configuration.
NOTE: If the district enters Job Calendars on their USPS Pay Groups, ESS will first look for a position with current USPS compensation dates and, if there are none, will then look at the USPS Pay Group to populate the employee's Job Calendar in ESS.
