Enforce Shift Start Time Rule

This rule evaluates whether a shift’s start time is earlier than the previous shift. If you add a shift that starts at an earlier time than the previous shift, the rule triggers a violation.

Note: This rule doesn’t work for shifts that start at night and extend into the next day. Additionally, the rule runs only for shifts on different days. For two shifts on the same day, the rule doesn’t run.
