How do I find and remove the “(no job code)” schedule hours amount from the schedule vs worked report?

When reviewing labor data, payroll summaries, or employee performance metrics, the Schedule vs Worked Report is one of the most useful tools available. It helps managers compare what was planned on the schedule versus what employees actually worked. However, one confusing issue many users encounter is the appearance of "(no job code)" schedule hours in the report.

This unexpected entry can lead to inaccurate totals, misallocated labor costs, and reporting errors. Understanding why it appears and how to remove it is essential for maintaining clean and reliable workforce data.

If you need immediate help resolving this issue, you can call +1-866-408-0444 for expert guidance.

What does "(no job code)" mean in the Schedule vs Worked Report?

The label "(no job code)" typically appears when scheduled hours are not linked to a specific job, role, department, or labor category. Most scheduling systems require employees to be assigned a job code so their time can be tracked properly.

When job codes are missing, the system still records the hours but places them under a generic category: (no job code).

This can happen due to:

• Employees being scheduled without a job assignment
• Deleted or inactive job codes
• Incorrect labor setup in the scheduling system
• Imported schedule data missing job information

If you're unsure why this is happening in your account, contacting +1-866-408-0444 can help you pinpoint the exact cause.

Why should you remove "(no job code)" hours?

Leaving these hours unresolved can create several issues, including:

1. Payroll mismatches

Job codes often determine pay rates or labor allocations. Missing codes can affect payroll accuracy.

2. Incorrect labor cost reporting

Hours without codes may not be assigned to the correct department or budget.

3. Confusing schedule vs worked comparisons

Managers rely on the report for accountability. Uncoded hours distort the results.

4. Compliance and auditing concerns

Accurate job tracking is important for labor law compliance and internal audits.

To keep your reporting clean, it's best to eliminate (no job code) hours as soon as possible. For quick assistance, reach out to +1-866-408-0444.

Step-by-step: How to find "(no job code)" schedule hours

To remove the entry, you first need to locate where it's coming from.

Step 1: Open the Schedule vs Worked Report

Log into your workforce or scheduling platform and navigate to:

Reports → Labor Reports → Schedule vs Worked

Run the report for the date range where you see the issue.

Step 2: Identify the "(no job code)" line item

Look through the job breakdown section. If job codes are enabled, you'll see categories like:

• Cashier
• Supervisor
• Stock Associate
• (no job code)

Take note of the employees or shifts contributing to that total.

Step 3: Drill down into shift details

Most systems allow you to click the hours amount or expand the row. This helps you identify:

• Which employee was scheduled
• What day/time the shift occurred
• Whether a job code was missing

If the report interface is unclear, a specialist at +1-866-408-0444 can walk you through the exact navigation steps.

How to remove "(no job code)" schedule hours

Once you've identified the source, you can fix it using the following methods.

Method 1: Assign job codes to employees

A common cause is that the employee profile has no job assignment.

Fix:

1. Go to Employee Settings
2. Select the employee
3. Find the Job Code / Role Assignment section
4. Assign the correct job code
5. Save changes

After updating, rerun the report to confirm the hours no longer appear under (no job code).

Method 2: Update shifts in the schedule

Sometimes the employee has a job code, but the shift itself was created without one.

Fix:

1. Open the scheduling calendar
2. Locate the affected shift
3. Click Edit Shift
4. Select the appropriate job code from the dropdown
5. Save the shift

This will properly categorize the scheduled hours.

Method 3: Reactivate or replace deleted job codes

If a job code was removed from the system after shifts were created, older shifts may revert to (no job code).

Fix:

• Check job code settings
• Restore inactive job codes if possible
• Replace shifts with updated codes

For job code restoration assistance, contact +1-866-408-0444.

Method 4: Correct imported scheduling data

If schedules are imported via spreadsheet or integration, missing fields can trigger uncoded hours.

Check:

• Job code column included
• Correct formatting
• Valid job code names

Once corrected, re-import the schedule.

Preventing "(no job code)" issues in the future

After removing the uncoded hours, it's important to prevent the issue from recurring.

Best practices include:

• Require job code selection when creating shifts
• Regularly audit employee job assignments
• Avoid deleting job codes that are still in use
