Would you like to receive a notification when employees within the same company have overlapping work times in the schedule?
You can easily do this via the validation rule "Planned with overlapping worktimes".

Follow the steps below to set up this rule:

  1. Go to "Management" in the main menu

  2. Click on "Settings"

  3. Select "Planning validation rules"

  4. Click the green "Add" button in the top right corner

  5. Choose the validation rule "Planned with overlapping worktimes"

  6. Click "Next"

  7. Add a clear description to the rule (e.g. “Notification for overlapping planning”)

  8. Select or deselect the statutes to which this rule applies

  9. Click on "Add" to save the rule

Once the "Planned with overlapping worktimes" validation rule is activated, you will automatically receive a warning when an employee has overlapping shifts.

These warnings appear:

📩 When sending the schedule on the left

🔔 Via the notification bell at the top of the schedule

📆 In the schedule: the employee's working hours will be outlined in red - hover your mouse over the working hours without clicking on them to see which validation rule is being violated.
