Depending on how Dayforce is configured, you might be able to add an additional full-day time away from work segment that overlaps with an existing full-day request. For example, if your organization marks non-productive shifts on your schedules, you might need to add both a full-day time away from work segment and full-day non-productive segment to a single date on your calendar.
Before You Begin: To add overlapping time away from work requests for employees, they must be assigned to a time off policy with concurrent time off functionality configured. See Configure Concurrent Time Off in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.
To add an overlapping full-day time away from work request:
- Go to Multi-Week Calendar and load a location.
- Click a cell with a full-day time away request, then click the down arrow and select New Time Away.
- In the Add New Time Away dialog box that opens, ensure that All Day is selected in the Type of Request section.
- In the Reason drop-down list, select a time away reason.
- When you select a reason, Dayforce determines if the reason that you selected is valid for overlapping requests. If the reason that you selected is invalid, Dayforce triggers an error and you can’t save the request.
- Note: If the reason that you selected triggers an error, the reason (that is, the time away pay code) likely isn’t supported by your concurrent time away configuration.
- Enter other details, such as a manager comment, then click Save.
