Ability to associate multiple shifts and use this show availability in GS/GA

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Our client schedules work six months in advance. Within the organization, employees frequently change departments, which often results in shifts in their work patterns. These changes are planned ahead. For instance, if an employee is set to move from Department A to Department B in two months, their current shift pattern should be displayed for the next two months, and their availability should reflect the new shift pattern thereafter.

Currently in Maximo, the relationship between person to calendar/shift object is one-to-many, but it lacks an effective date. Adding an effective date and GS/GA or other application using this date and shift combination would allow the system to accurately reflect availability based on the appropriate shift pattern.
