Improved published schedule messages (16671, 16720)

This release improves both the delivery and content of published schedule messages sent to employees who work multiple jobs.

Delivery of messages

In previous releases, employees with multiple jobs received published schedule messages for jobs that they were not scheduled to work. This issue led to employees receiving excessive unnecessary messages about being off all week rather than only receiving the necessary messages about when they were scheduled to work. For example, Employee A and Employee B each work two Food & Beverage (F&B) jobs: Banquet Server and Banquet Bartender. If the Bartending Manager schedules only Employee C for a bartending job this week, Employee A and Employee B would receive a published schedule message notifying them that they are not scheduled to work this week.

In this release, employees with multiple jobs receive published schedule messages only for jobs that they are scheduled to work. 

Content of messages

In previous releases, when employees with multiple jobs received published schedule messages, jobs for which they were not scheduled displayed the text "Off." This text led to confusion about whether employees were actually off or just not yet scheduled to work. Employees could have assumed that all schedules were published; however, there might have been a day with a pending (or unpublished) schedule for which "Off" was displayed.

In this release, when employees with multiple jobs receive published schedule messages, they are only informed of jobs for which they are scheduled. If they are not yet scheduled, there is no reference to a shift time.
