You can use the Edit Schedule page to delete an employee's schedule for a single day. The procedure is the same, whether the schedule you are deleting is a daily schedule or part of a recurring schedule.

Note: You can also use the Edit Single mode on the Daily Schedules tab on the Schedules page to delete a schedule for one employee on one day. The Delete or Restore Multiple mode on the Daily Schedules tab allows you to delete daily schedules for one or more days and one or more employees.

To delete an employee's schedule for a specific day:

  1. From the Home page, click the Schedules link.

  2. In the schedule grid, click the cell that represents the employee and date for which you want to delete a pre-existing schedule.

    Tip: Depending upon how your system is configured, an employee may have more than one Employee ID. You may need to adjust the Employee Filter and Schedule Filter, change the date range, and/or use the scroll bars if the employee and date are not visible in the schedule grid.

  3. In the employee (left) column of the schedule grid, click the Monthly Schedule button next to the employee's name. A Monthly Schedule page will open and display four weeks of the employee's scheduled worked and non-worked time.

  4. If necessary, adjust the Monthly Schedule start date until the day for which you need to delete a schedule becomes visible. You cannot delete a schedule that falls in a past pay period.

    Tips:
    By default, the Monthly Schedule displays the four-week period that begins with the earliest week that was being viewed in the schedule grid. However, unlike the grid on the Schedules page (which can start on any day of the week), the Monthly Calendar view always starts with the day of the week specified as the start day of week for your company.

    The Previous and Next buttons move the Monthly Schedule view backwards and forwards in four-week increments. You can also change the range of dates displayed by selecting a date using the Calendar Lookup button (or by manually entering a date into the date box) and then clicking the Find button. The Monthly Schedule page will refresh and display the four-week period that begins with the week that contains the date you entered. To return to a four-week view that begins with the current week, click the Current Week button.

  5. Click the date cell for the day for which you want to delete a schedule.

    Tip: The Monthly Schedule page can display only one scheduled time pair per day. If the employee has been assigned multiple schedules for a day, the Multiple Schedulesicon will appear next to a single time pair that is made up of the employee's earliest scheduled in time and latest scheduled out time for the day. Click the date cell to open the Edit Schedule page, from which you can view and edit or delete each separate schedule.

  6. In the left pane of the Edit Schedule page, click the time pair representing the schedule you need to delete.

    Tip: If the employee has only one schedule for the day, it will automatically be selected.

  7. Click the Delete button.

  8. In the confirmation box that appears, click OK.

Note: If the schedule you have deleted was part of a recurring schedule, you have just created a schedule deviation. The master template for the recurring schedule and the rest of the employee's recurring schedule assignment will not be affected, but the schedule you deleted for a specific day will not appear on the employee's schedule. If you want to remove this schedule deviation and reapply the recurring schedule to this day, see Removing Schedule Deviations (Restoring a Recurring Schedule).
