The planning situation

A duty window crosses a local daylight-saving clock change.

The constraint to resolve

An apparently ordinary local time can be ambiguous or represent an unexpected duration.

Set up this specific workflow

Use the correct IANA timezone and inspect clock-change warnings; choose unambiguous local times and confirm the intended duty duration.

Work in the workforce shifts workspace. Use your organisation’s actual dates, timezone and opening hours. Presets are editable starting points; they do not supply a country’s calendar or verify organisational policies.

Check the result before publishing

Review start and finish timestamps around the transition with the responsible lead before publishing.

Resolve unplaced activities and reported conflicts, inspect the relevant people and resource views, and publish the reviewed version deliberately.
