{"v":"<p dir=\"auto\">From Jane (7 Oct 2026), the reasoning behind the hours rule:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"auto\">During SOC and Annual the hours come from the authorisation and they can&#39;t change the total number of hours. However, a supervisor is allowed to change when the hours are spent. A change could occur during an annual based on the client&#39;s request. So long as they don&#39;t exceed the hours for a given period <strong>or change the number of days<\/strong>, they can make adjustments. The only way the authorised hours can be changed is through a new authorisation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>What we enforce today<\/strong> (#92): the weekly total is frozen and shown read-only; hours may move between days.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>What&#39;s new<\/strong>: the <strong>number of days<\/strong> worked must also stay the same. Check whether the schedule save refuses a change that adds or drops a day, and add that rule if not. The refusal message should say it in plain words (e.g. &#34;The number of days can&#39;t change. Only a new authorization can change it.&#34;).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>To confirm<\/strong>: &#34;for a given period&#34; means per week, as the total is today?<\/p>\n"}
