As the system reads this a new time off request even though the start date is the same, the system can read the change of work schedule associated to the employee.

Resolution

To Resolve this issue the request will need to be split into two request in this example the start date of the request is the 08/08/16.

As already seen the Work schedule change was on the 30/08/2016. so the end date for the first request is the 29/08/16.

The second request will have to have the start date after the change is made so in the example 30/08/2016 is the start date:

Now the error message does not appear.
