Schedule days off manually
Days off are normally scheduled by the automatic scheduling. They are then placed either by what is defined in the contract schedule or by a restriction, for example a rotation or the agents' preferences.
Sometimes there is a need to schedule a day off manually, for example around public holidays.
If you schedule a day off manually for fixed employees, and that day off is in addition to the normal number of days off for the schedule period, there must be tolerance on the agents' contracts to handle that.
