Add Non-Working Time to a Work Schedule

In addition to shifts, you may apply non-working time to certain work schedules. This could accommodate work schedules that include non-standard work time such as four-day workweeks or even holidays that occur on the same day every year. Keep in mind that many of the non-working reasons (illness, bereavement) tend to be used more frequently on a one-off basis for individual resources as days off occur.
