Patent attributes
A work schedule for an employee, such as a contact center agent, may indicate various time periods when the agent should be engaging in specific types of work activities during their work shift. During the work shift, the agent may indicate an activity code identifying a type of work activity the agent is presently engaged in. The agent may deviate from the planned work schedule in various ways, including by starting later than the scheduled start time or leaving earlier than the scheduled end time. The agent may be allowed to “make up” a work-related time deficiency by working through a scheduled break or working earlier or past their scheduling work shift. If the agent successfully makes up the work-related deficiency within a time limit, then no improper deviation from the planned schedule is noted. Otherwise, a work-related deficiency condition may be recorded.
