When using start and end times: If the deviation schedule is used for a planned absence such as parental leave, that does not have a day type, you must enter information in the Absence From Time, Absence From Day, Absence To Time, Absence To Day and Absence Wage Code fields.

day or a certain number of hours per day. This method is used in cases where the
absence is the same every day of the cycle. Right-click and select
