Roster employees should be allocated to 
			roster to 
			ensure that their recorded time is handled correctly within Optimum.
			All employees are 
			available for allocation to a roster, unless they are a member of a FLEXI group (allocated on the
			Maintain Employees screen).
			
			Allocating employees
			
				- 
				Select the 
				Allocate Employees to Rosters screen. 
				The available 
				rosters are listed on the left-hand side of the screen, in the
				Rosters box.
				Any employees 
				who are not yet allocated to a roster are displayed on the 
				right-hand side of the screen, in the Unallocated Employees
				box.
			
			
				- 
				Select one of 
				the available rosters. Any employees already allocated to this 
				roster are shown in the centre of the screen, in the Allocated 
				Employees box. 
- 
				In the Start Date field, select the 
				date that the employee(s) start on the roster. 
- 
				In the Position field, select the 
				position the employee(s) start on the roster. 
				The number of 
				start positions is set for each roster. You can check the number 
				of start positions by going to the Rosters screen. The 
				Days in Cycle field gives the number of start positions.
				If you select 
				a start position that isn't valid for the roster, the record 
				will not save, and the employees will not be allocated.
			
			
				- 
				In the Unallocated 
				Employees box, select the employee(s) that you want to 
				allocate to this roster, start date and start position. To 
				select more than one employee, hold down the CTRL key while 
				highlighting the employees. 
- 
				Click the << 
				button to transfer the employee(s) to the Allocated Employees
				box. 
- 
				If you need to allocate other employees to 
				the same roster but with different start dates or start 
				positions, repeat steps 3 to 6 with the new values. 
- 
				When the employees 
				have been allocated as required, click Save. 
				The Allocated 
				Employees box is updated 
				to include their start date and start position.
