    This tutorial will guide you on how to edit or delete schedule pattern assignments for individual employees in Staffinc Suite.
    You’ll learn how to update an employee’s schedule pattern, understand how the system applies changes, and what happens when a schedule pattern assignment is removed.

    🧭 Step-by-Step Guide

    1. Log In to Staffinc Suite

    • Open Staffinc Suite and log in using your admin credentials.

    2. Open the Employee’s Detail Page

    • Go to the Employee Directory.
    • Select the specific employee whose schedule pattern you want to edit.
    • Navigate to the Attendance & Work Policies tab.

    3. Edit the Schedule Pattern Assignment

    • Click Edit on the schedule pattern section.
    • Change the assigned pattern from Pattern A → Pattern B.
    • Save the update to apply the new pattern.

    4. Review Updated Schedule

    • Open the Employee’s Schedule page to verify the changes.
      🗓️ Note: The new schedule from Pattern B will start appearing from D+1 (the next day) after the edit.
      The existing day (D-Day) and previous days will still reflect the previous pattern.

    5. Delete the Assigned Schedule Pattern

    • Return to the employee’s Attendance & Work Policies tab.
    • Edit the schedule pattern assignment again and choose to delete the existing pattern.
    • Confirm the deletion.

    6. Review the Schedule After Deletion

    • Revisit the Employee’s Schedule page.
      🗑️ The deleted schedules will be removed starting from D-Day (the day of deletion) and onwards into the future (previous days' schedules will remain).

    7. Deletion Conditions

    ⚠️ Important:
    Schedules cannot be deleted if they:

    • Contain check-in data, or
    • Have approved or pending leave or dispute requests.

    💡 Additional Information

    🧩 Handling Manually Added Schedules

    When editing or deleting schedule pattern assignments:

    • Manually added schedules are not affected by the pattern change or deletion.
    • Only schedules generated from the pattern are updated or removed based on the new configuration.

    📊 Impact on Attendance Status & Data

    • Editing a schedule pattern does not affect attendance status.
    • Related leave, overtime, and dispute requests remain valid.
    • Deleting a pattern only removes future schedules, not existing attendance records.
