Assessment

Self-check: how an absence becomes a number of hours

Four questions on the schedule search order, the silent default when nothing is found, converting calendar days into leave through the work schedule, and the condition under which the schedule is consulted at all.

What this checks

  • State the schedule search order
  • State the fallback when no schedule is found
  • Apply the schedule to a duration
  • State the condition on using the schedule

Every incorrect option names the misconception it represents. A wrong answer tells you which model of the process you reached for, which is the part that is worth correcting.

1. Put the four levels the schedule search passes through in the documented order.

State the schedule search order · targets: Reading the levels as four descriptions of one schedule rather than as an ordered search that stops at the first answer.

  1. 1.
  2. 2.
  3. 3.
  4. 4.
2. A worker has no schedule at any of the four levels. What happens to the duration of their absence?

State the fallback when no schedule is found · targets: Expecting a missing schedule to raise an error, and therefore reading a confidently wrong duration as a computation rather than as a default.

3. A worker on a four-hour schedule takes two days of absence. What is the absence duration?

Apply the schedule to a duration · targets: Reading "two days" as "two days of leave", and sending the ticket to payroll instead of to the schedule.

4. The work schedule is always used to determine the duration of an absence, whatever unit of measure the absence type carries.

State the condition on using the schedule · targets: Assuming the schedule is consulted for every absence, and then misreading a duration that was converted by a formula.
