Where to view when daily rest period rules are broken
An alert will display when daily rest period rules have been broken when creating a schedule.
When an employee has been scheduled to work two shifts that are in breach of the daily rest periods in a 24 hour period, an alarm bell icon will appear beside their name on the schedule. This will prompt you to check the 'Compliance Checks' tabs at the bottom of the screen. It is here where any Daily Rest Period Deviations will appear.
