Time off group duplication scenarios
When you add a time off group, avoid duplication. Duplication occurs when two enabled time off groups apply to the same employee.
The table below shows sample scenarios and reasons for duplication. A duplication error is displayed if you try to enable and save a time off group that matches an existing one.
