Alternate Work Week schedules are repeating patterns such as:
Alternate Work Weeks support schedules that require days other than Saturday and Sunday off. These schedules may require a one- or two-week Work Period.
A 9/80 Pay Period usually runs from Friday 12:00 noon through the following Friday 12:00 noon. This is the usual scenario, although the first day of the week and the times may change. Generally, the first and last day of the Pay Period is Friday and the end of the Pay Period time is between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. A 9/80 schedule must be configured in Time Manager by means of a Rotating Schedule.
An example of this pattern might look as follows:

| 1 | Friday | On | 1-ShortDay | 7:00 AM | 3:30 PM | 0.50 | 8.00 |
