Exception Options in Work Schedules

When you create a work schedule, you can include exceptions, such as public holidays or training sessions. You then use these exceptions to identify people's availability to work.

Calendar Event

A calendar event is an exception for a single event on 1 or more consecutive days, such as a public holiday or training event.

Calendar Event Category

A calendar event category is an exception for all calendar events that make up the event category. For example, the events New Year's Day, Good Friday, and Easter Monday make up the category UK Public Holidays.

Resource Exception

A resource exception is an exception for everyone assigned the work schedule. For example, everyone assigned the Night Shift schedule get scheduled to attend a training event, so they aren't available to do their regular work.

People can see the Work period exceptions for themselves and their team on the Time and Absences work area calendar. They need to select either or both of the Employment schedule and My schedule display options. They can't see any off period, or nonwork, exceptions.
