Add Overlapping Time Away in Scheduling Features

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.

Role feature access:  

  • Application Container > Approvals > Time Off
  • Schedules > Manage Time Off > Add overlapping full day TAFW

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 the schedule.

You can submit overlapping time away requests only for valid reasons. If the time away reason that you select is invalid, Dayforce triggers an error and you can’t save the request. 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.

Before You Begin: To add overlapping time away requests, employees must be assigned 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:

  1. Go to Schedules or Centralized Schedules and load a schedule.
  2. (Centralized Schedules only) Expand the grouping hierarchy to view the schedule.
  3. Select a cell with a full-day time away request, then click the down arrow and select New Time Away.
  4. In the Type of Request section, ensure that All Day is selected.
  5. In the Reason drop-down list, select a time away reason.
  6. Enter other details, such as a manager comment, then click Save.
