This validation rule checks whether a minor (<18) is scheduled for two or more consecutive Sundays or with less than 36 hours of rest after a scheduled Sunday.
Important: To determine whether an employee is a minor, their birth date must be filled in in their profile.
⚠️ Attention: We consider the employee’s age at the start of the workweek. So, if the employee turns 18 on Wednesday, they will still be regarded as underage for the entire week.

Click on Planning Validation Rules.
Click the green “Add” button in the top right corner.
