Re: Delivery variable hours?
Got this from a website
“ What is a variable-hour employee?
An irregular-hours or variable-hours employee simply means the employee does not have set hours they work every day or week. Their hours change, so they won’t have a regular shift pattern and may do a different number of hours per shift (unlike shift workers, who will do a set amount of time per shift). Therefore, usually this employee is paid by the hour.
It’s worth noting that unless they regularly work hours equivalent to full-time hours, variable hours employees count as part-time for employment law purposes. They are therefore covered by legislation protecting part-time workers from being treated less favourably than full time workers. You need to be mindful of this when dealing with their entitlements so that you don’t accidentally discriminate against these employees.”

Re: Delivery variable hours?
I also found that via Google when it first appeared but I don't think that is it's purpose, from the brief climpse I had of the app it looks like overtime approval but no doubt we will find out soon.
If you have the tile what happens when you click on links?

Re: Delivery variable hours?
I'm more inclined to go with this theory
