Assigning day types to the weekdays and holidays

Question

Hi,
      Using the submodule Time Management, day types 1(time off/paid), 2(Time off / not paid), 3(time off/special) are created
    The different positions of the weekday, saturday and sunday are b(working), 1-public holiday, 2- half day holiday, 3 to 9 - customer specific holidays
Can anyone explain me how the day types are assigned to the different positions of the weekdays, saturday and sunday?
Thanks

Hey Gracy,
What you have done will assign day type 1 ( Paid/OFF) to all the calendar days. If you use this Day type rule in your Work Schedule rule then the use this WSR for an employee in IT 0007 then your Employee will be in Honeymoon period As he will be paid for all days and his attendance won't matter
OK.. lets start afresh.
Day types are used for determining whether employees have to work on public
holidays and whether they are still paid on these days.
The main purpose of Day type rules is to assign a day type ( 0 or blank, 1,2 and 3) to each calendar day.  A week has 7 days. Mon - Fri are weekdays and then we have Saturday and sunday.
While generating work schedule, the system will assign a day type to each day. For this it will reference the day type rule.
First it will check what day it is evaluating i.e a weekday or a saturday or a sunday. Then it will check the Public holiday class of that day and finally depending on the combination of day of the week and the public holiday class of the day it will assign a day type.
Eg Consider this
Weekday              Saturday                   Sunday
b123456789          b123456789        b123456789
.1.1111111          .1.1111111          .1.1111111
Explanation for above example
If a day with public holiday class BLANK(indicated as dot in above example) falls on WEEKDAY then it is a PAID/WORK day
If a day with public holiday class 1 falls on WEEKDAY then it is PAID/OFF day
If a day with public holiday class 2 falls on WEEKDAY then it is a PAID/WORK day
and so on for other Public holiday classes for WEEKDAY.
The same applies to Saturday and Sunday.
Suppose
Weekday              Saturday                   Sunday
b123456789          b123456789        b123456789
Suppose if blank is assigned in the rule for all days and for all public holiday classes then your employees will have to work on all public holidays.
Hope this clarifies your doubt. Read what I have written very carefully. I know its a little confusing
Cheers
