Introduce a working pattern history for EE's with effective date / week # specification capabilities

Currently, working patterns that are comprised of more than a single work week (for example where week 1 is Mon - Fri but Week 2 is Mon - Thur) work based on the pattern effective date, which can default back as far as 01/01/1990.

As the work pattern is used in items like SMP scheduling, this means that the pattern can end up with Week 1 applied where Week 2 is expected, which can lead to confusion in the number of 'working days' the employee is calculated on in a period.


To make this easier, I would propose that we have a 'Working Pattern History', where it's possible to assign 'effective dates' for working patterns to an employee, including which week # in the working pattern should be used first from that date (rotating from that week number -> highest then repeat from week #1 going forward).


This would better serve the ability to see the impact of a working pattern (especially where the pattern is comprised of a multiple week rotation) so that any relevant corrections can be made and impact upon items like SMP schedules can be easily evaluated and corrected where required.

Describe the Challenge Improve visibility of working pattern impact to any data which is dependant on or utilises working pattern configuration
