This option is typically used to provide employees with their schedule for two full weekends. If the typical work week is Sunday through Saturday, selecting this option generates the schedule with one extra day at the end of the schedule period to ensure employees know what their work commitment is for the entire weekend.
By default, this option is not selected.
Note: This option is available only when the Extend Schedule Period in Schedule Planner feature switch is enabled. For more information, see Feature Switch.
