Availability Overrides

Using the Availability Override window, you can create availability overrides for an employee without affecting his or her entire default availability pattern and without creating a temporary pattern. Availability overrides consist of either adding availability (available override) or reducing availability (unavailable override) which are applied against the existing pattern.

The overrides that you submit in the Availability Management module are displayed in the Employee Availability Calendar.

The overrides are not displayed or applied to the Daily Timesheet, Weekly Timesheet, or Schedule pages, and do not affect the pay period for an employee. The availability overrides modify an employee’s availability pattern either before or after a schedule has been generated. The results of the override are displayed if you show availability on the schedule screen.

You can apply an override to multiple days or to a specific day. For example, you might select a date range of an entire month, but you can choose to have the override applied only to all Wednesdays within the month, or all weekdays, or all days.

You can update the information for an applied override instead of creating a new override. You can also delete overrides.
