Enforce calendar day cut

Schedule compliance groups can be configured to determine violations based on the calendar date when work takes place. By default, the full length of a shift is attributed to the shift's work date.

The Enforce Calendar Day Cut check box can be selected to count each hour in a shift based on the calendar date when the hour occurs. This check box is hidden by default, and system administrators can expose it in Config mode by updating the security permissions.

The Enforce Calendar Day Cut check box affects these rules when enabled in a schedule compliance group:
  • Minimum Hours Per Day
  • Maximum Hours Per Day
  • Minimum Hours Per Week
  • Maximum Hours Per Week
Other schedule compliance rules count hours based on the work date of shifts. Calendar dates start at midnight for this feature.

For example, a schedule compliance group includes a Minimum Hours Per Day rule that is violated when employees are assigned less than six hours a day. An employee is assigned a shift from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM. If Enforce Calendar Day Cut is selected, then the shift violates the rule on both days. The violations occur because 9:00 PM to 12:00 AM is attributed to the first day and 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM is attributed to the second day. If Enforce Calendar Day Cut is cleared, then no violation occurs because all eight hours in the shift are counted towards the first day.
