The Short Day tab on the Attendance Policy form is used to configure Short Day events. The Short Day event is used when a person's posted paid hours are greater than 0.0 but less than their scheduled paid hours for a day. The event posts the difference between the scheduled paid hours and the total paid time on the day.
The ATTENDANCE service must include the ATTENDANCE_SHORT_DAY task to post Short Day events. See Service Instances for more information on the ATTENDANCE service and its tasks.

Configure the Short Day Settings
Enable Short Day
When this box is checked, a Short Day event will post for a person whose posted paid hours are greater than zero but less than their scheduled paid hours for a day.
Post On Signed
When this box is checked, the ATTENDANCE service will post the event on days that have already been signed (by an employee, supervisor, or both). If this box is not checked, the ATTENDANCE service will not post the event on signed days.
A split day in a 9-80 schedule may have only the first or second half of the day signed. The ATTENDANCE service will examine each half of the split day separately when it checks for signatures, and will post the event on the half that complies with the Post on Signed setting. For example, if Post on Signed is not checked, the ATTENDANCE service will post the event on the half that is not signed, but will not post the event on the half that is signed.
Event Name
Identifies the name of the event that will post on the timecard ( SHORT_DAY).
Points
This field defines the number of penalty points that will be posted for the person when they have an occurrence of this event. This field is only available when the Points Enabled check box is selected.
Ruleset Name
Identifies the Attendance ruleset that applies when the ATTENDANCE service posts a Short Day event. The ruleset you select will determine the conditions needed to post the event, which event to post, how many hours should be posted, and how many penalty points, if any, to post. For example, you may select a ruleset in which a Short Day event called SHORTDAY_1 (with no penalty points) will post when the person has less than five hours, and an event called SHORTDAY_2 with one penalty point will post if the person has less than three hours for the day.
The Ruleset Name is optional. If you select a ruleset, these rules will override the Post on Signed, Event Name, and Points settings for the Short Day policy.
