hello, 

I have a request to define an absence type using calendar days for absence limit calculation. 

The client need to count their weekends when they book an absence request. So for this I setup the absence calculation & duration to calendar days. I have an issue on half days, the system calculate as 0.8 or 0.2 and not 0.5. Because of this the number of limits is not calculated correctly. 

Did someone  faced this use case already, do you have any clue on how to setup to make sure half a day is 0.5, weekend is counted and limits are correctly calculated. 

here is the standard calculation of IFS for calendar days & number of hours per day is 9.6h.

thank you,

Cristina

Hello ​@ArcCristF,

Can you attach a screenshot of the Absence Parameters as well for this Absence Group.

Thanks.

if i change the limit unit in “day based working hours” it will create an absence request with 0.5 days but the absence will be generated as 1 full day absence

@ArcCristF : I have encountered similar issue because my schedule was not dependent on day type. This issue was resolved after I have set-up the schedule as ‘Day Type’ dependent.

Thanks
