Not sure if 20 hours is realistic for all part timers.

I’m leaning towards option B, but I’m not entirely sure if we should consider flexibility in part time hours.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where we ended up with just one calendar for part timers. That might apply here too.

I think we might need multiple calendars for part time workers if their contracts differ significantly. It’s a bit unclear to me.

I remember we discussed how part time workers can vary in hours, but if they all average 20 hours, maybe we only need one calendar for them?

I'm not sure about the "generic flexible work calendar" option. If part-time workers can work any number of hours, do we really need that?

Okay, I think I've got it. We need one full-time work calendar, and then one part-time work calendar since management has agreed to estimate part-time workers at 20 hours per week. No need for any additional calendars.

Hmm, I'm a little confused. Does the part-time work calendar need to account for different part-time contract hours, or can we just assume 20 hours per week for all part-time workers?

This seems straightforward - we just need to create one full-time work calendar and one part-time work calendar, right?

As an HR professional, I have to say that option A is the most accurate representation of the situation. Each part-time contract is unique, so we need a separate calendar for each one.

Having separate calendars for each unique part-time contract will make scheduling much easier.

It would be too confusing to have just one part time work calendar for all the different contracts.

I agree, option A makes the most sense. Each part-time contract should have its own work calendar.

Haha, this question is a real head-scratcher. I'm just hoping I don't end up with a 'work calendar' for my cat when I'm done. But seriously, I think B is the way to go.

I'm going with C. Having a generic flexible work calendar in addition to the full-time and part-time calendars seems like a good way to handle the varying schedules of part-time resources.

I think the answer is B. It makes the most sense to have one full-time work calendar and one part-time work calendar, since management has agreed on a standard 20-hour per week estimate for part-time workers.
