There is a separate column for the Zellers hours for the stores that have the shop at their location, which are also included in the MZ01 Total hours in blue.
Vacation replacement hours can be found in the columns with the green headers and are organized by Manager Zone. All of the columns in blue are the total hours per Manager Zone and for the entire month.

VACATION REPLACEMENT PROCESS
Reminder: Vacation entries are due in WFM 6 weeks prior to the beginning of the period in which the associate will take the Vacation. This allows the budgeting team to build in replacement hours for the period’s budget where applicable. It is important to meet this deadline as failure to do so may mean the store will not receive the appropriate Vacation Replacement hours to cover off vacation requests.
As a reminder, Vacation Replacement is provided for the following areas:
• All MZ 01 (Selling)
• Marketing, Visual
All other areas please refer to the Approval process above to request replacement from your RDVP, if required.
