If a person requests time off during a blocked period, the person will not have the option to select those days in the calendar, they will be blocked. This ensures that the company's operations run smoothly and that there are no disruptions during critical periods.
It is important for employees to be aware of blocked periods and to schedule their time off accordingly. This allows them to plan ahead and avoid any last-minute surprises. For this reason, blocked periods are always visible in the Factorial calendar.
