  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The employee's time subgrouping (which defines how their time is categorized) does not match the expected subgrouping defined for the home pool (the organizational unit or group the employee belongs to).
  Incorrect Assignment: The employee may have been assigned to a home pool that does not correspond to their time subgrouping.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry for either the employee's time subgrouping or the home pool's configuration.

  Ensure that the time subgrouping is correctly defined and corresponds to the employee's role and responsibilities.
  
  
  
  Review Home Pool Configuration:

  Adjust Assignments:
  
  If the employee's time subgrouping is incorrect, update it to match the home pool's configuration.
