Overview: 

Rostering changes how working days are determined when employees request Time Off.

For employees on a Fixed Schedule, Time Off continues to follow the existing work schedule.

For employees on a Rostering-type Work Schedule, Time Off considers the employee's roster:

• Employees can request Time Off on days with an assigned shift.
• Employees can also request Time Off on days without an assigned shift.
• Employees cannot request Time Off on Rest Days.
• If a shift is already assigned on the requested date, the shift will remain assigned and may need to be manually reassigned by the manager.

Important: Approving Time Off does not automatically remove or reassign an existing shift.
