Maximum Consecutive Days Rule

The Max Consecutive Days rule determines the number of consecutive days that an employee is permitted to work. The system shows a violation if the employee is scheduled to work more than the specified number of consecutive days.

This rule counts only the consecutive days and does not count the overall number of days or number of shifts. If a violation occurs, it will be counted against the dates that the Max Consecutive Days rule was violated.

This rule also evaluates days of the preceding week to ensure there are no violations resulting from consecutive days scheduled between both weeks. For example, if the schedule week was Sunday to Saturday and max consecutive days value was 3, Schedule Validation would identify a violation if an employee was scheduled to work Sunday and Monday when the employee had worked Friday and Saturday of the preceding week.

If this rule is set with the Max Consecutive Days value of 3 days, the following examples demonstrate the Schedule Validation report results.
