Hello,
This is probably more of a db question but...
I am writing an employee database for work. The majority of it is simple
enough however I am stuck on the timetabling. It has to be done in PHP
as there are 40 plus team leaders whose computers are all old and have
IE on them as one similarity. Also any changes I make to the program are
repllicated over those machines instantly.
We have ~1500 Employees. There are 4 shifts which overlap.
My idea of doing this was to have a database with each record being a
day for a particular employee. Recording ID, Start Time, Finish Time in
TimeStamp.
So I could then do a search for the number of employees whose shift
start or finished in that particular day. If there is a start and a
finish left add up the hours, if only a start do start -> midnight and
if only a finish do midnight -> finish.
Is this a sensible way to do it? Or can anyone suggest a better tried
and tested way.
Cheers
Richard
