  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  If the existing absence is no longer valid or needs to be changed, you can modify or delete it as appropriate.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR:
  
  If you are unsure about the existing absence or how to proceed, consult with your HR department or the person responsible for managing employee absences.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If this error occurs frequently and is not expected behavior, it may be worth reviewing the configuration of absence types in the system to ensure they are set up correctly regarding overlapping periods.
