摘要： A business volume and workforce requirements forecaster includes a business structure, a forecast structure, certain hierarchical levels which map to corresponding levels in the business structure, a volume forecaster which forecasts business volume responsive to historical data and to the business and forecast structures, and a workforce requirements engine which forecasts workforce requirements responsive to the forecast business volume. Business volume is forecast for a predefined duration, responsive to both a first set of historical data, and to the business and forecast structures. Calculation of workforce requirements includes task level consolidation and resource leveling, and can include dynamic standard assignment, wherein different metrics are selected at different times, and where a task is associated with a plurality of standards. An event calendar is defined, and at least one event is selected from the calendar and considered in the step of forecasting.

摘要： A method of dynamically scheduling a workforce includes obtaining workforce requirements, attributes and employee preferences, determining a workforce schedule based on the workforce requirements and attributes, determining a schedule value based on workforce requirements and employee preferences, and iteratively modifying the workforce schedule, determining a schedule value based on workforce requirements and preferences for the modified workforce schedule, and comparing schedule values to determine a best workforce schedule.

摘要： A method for calculating employee compensation includes associating sets of attributes with pay categories. An employee's shifts are split into sub-shifts, responsive to work parameters. A set of attributes is determined for each sub-shift. Each set of attributes is a unique combination of attributes. Sets of attributes are associated with pay categories through a pay category mapping matrix which maps each set of attributes to one or more pay categories. The pay categories with which the set of attributes associated with a particular subshift is associated are then determined responsive to the mapping. A total compensation for an employee is then determined for a pay period by adding the amounts determined for each subshift of the pay period. A compensation qualifier can be associated with each pay category, such that determining compensation for an employee for the sub-shift responsive to the assigned pay category, is in turn responsive to the employee's base pay and the compensation qualifier. One or more pay categories can be tracked. For each tracked pay category, an overflow threshold is specified that is a maximum amount of time that can be accrued in the pay category. A second pay category is specified to receive any amount of time originally assigned to the tracked pay category which is in excess over the threshold. This can be done over various time periods, such as per day or per week.

摘要翻译： 用于计算员工薪酬的方法包括将属性集合与薪酬类别相关联。 根据工作参数，员工的班次被拆分为次班。 为每个子班确定一组属性。 每组属性都是属性的独特组合。 一组属性通过支付类别映射矩阵与付款类别相关联，其将每组属性映射到一个或多个支付类别。 然后，与特定子跳跃相关联的属性集合相关联的支付类别响应于映射被确定。 然后通过加上为薪资期间的每个子期确定的金额确定雇员的总薪酬。 赔偿限定符可以与每个工资类别相关联，以便根据分配的薪酬类别确定对子职位的补偿，反过来又响应雇员的基本工资和补偿限定符。 可以跟踪一个或多个工资类别。 对于每个跟踪的薪酬类别，指定溢出阈值，这是在薪酬类别中可累积的最大时间量。 指定第二个薪酬类别，以接收原先分配给跟踪薪酬类别的超过阈值的任何时间量。 这可以在不同的时间段内完成，例如每天或每周。

摘要： Methods and apparatus for defining, executing, monitoring and controlling the flow of business operations. A designer first defines a workflow by providing a template of business activities that expresses the manner in which these activities relate to one another. The system orchestrates performance of the tasks in accordance with the template; in so doing, it integrates various types of application software, and partitions tasks among various users and computers.
