What are the work schedule change types?
| Type | Date-bound override | Also updates the employee's profile default |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent | ✔ | ✔ — the employee's Work Schedule field is set to the new schedule |
| Temporary | ✔ | ✘ |
| Project-based | ✔ | ✘ |
| Seasonal | ✔ | ✘ |
Use Permanent when the employee is genuinely moving to a new workweek — it keeps the profile, reports and every fallback consistent. Use the other three for anything with an intended end: cover, a project stint, a seasonal pattern. They leave the profile untouched, so when the assignment ends the employee reverts automatically.
Note — because Temporary/Project/Seasonal assignments don't touch the profile, the employee's profile page will still show their default schedule while the override is running. That is by design; the attendance and payroll calendars follow the override.
