Multiple Schedule Exceptions Per Day by Time Off Requests

Companies often have varying holiday policies that allow for half or partial working days that occur the day before an official holiday. For example, some companies will allow for a half day the day before Christmas. In such a case, some employees may choose to take the rest of the day off as part of their personal time off (PTO).

For accounts that have the company setting "Automatically create schedule exceptions when a time off request is approved" enabled but don’t have this feature enabled, a company schedule exception could be entered for the half day. However, for the user to take the rest of the day off, an exception on the user's work schedule would need to be manually created. With this feature, users can enter a time off request even if there is an existing company schedule exception for the same day.

If there is an existing company schedule exception for partial hours, users can create and submit a time off request for that same day (available time permitting). In addition, users can create and submit multiple time off requests for the same day.

Note:

It is not possible to manually create more than one schedule exception on the same day for a company work schedule or an individual user level work schedule.
