The rules define the parameters of what you consider to be minimum staffing. Employee schedule validation is the process that determines whether employees are complying with or violating the rules. When employees and schedulers add and edit schedules, the validation occurs.
The employee schedule validation process uses a certain Selection Style to analyze the details of a schedule, compare the schedule to other schedules in the schedule period, and determine whether the minimum staffing rule has been met.
If a rule is violated, a message informs the employee or scheduler of the violation and corrections can be made. The messages appear on the employee self schedule screen and on the schedule screen.
