Reference: Default Time Off Validation Messages

You can add validation rules for time off entries on the

Validation

tab of these tasks:

Create Absence Table

Create Time Off

Edit Absence Table

Before you consider adding custom text for the validation messages, review the default messages. When you include these

Data Entry Validation

fields in validation rules, Workday displays these validation messages for time off entries, where:

Value
corresponds to the

Value

that you specify on the rule together with the field that you select from the

Data Entry Validation

prompt.

Units
corresponds to the daily quantity unit of days or hours on the time off plan.
