The article details how the working hours for sites can be configured to control the access and the hours worked by cardholders.  Please also refer to our RIW Knowledge Centre article Shift Management - How are open shifts closed in the RIW System? for more information about automatic rules that are in place to manage open shifts.

Working Hour Rules is defined as maximum allowable working hours over a defined period, minimum rest period between shifts and maximum mid-shift break at site level and applied to all methods of swipe-ins to a site.  When working hour rules have been set for the site and a cardholder does not meet these requirements, the cardholder will be automatically denied access to the site as detailed in our article RIW App for Access Controllers, and in particular the section on Deny/Restricted Access - Outside Working Hour Rules.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR KIOSKS USERS
When updating site requirements in the RIW System, it can take between 15-30 minutes for any changes to be transferred to a Kiosk or Tablet device, such as site entry rules, working hour rules, site briefings or site inductions. Sites should assess the risk between when the change is made in the RIW System to when it is available in the Kiosk and determine whether alternative access control measures are required during the update period.
