Subs should only be able to pick up half-day/full-day assignments

For our teachers who travel to multiple buildings in a day, they can only create absences in half-day or full-day increments. Our subs are paid in the same half-day or full-day increments. Right now, if a teacher creates, for example, a PM assignment that runs 12:18-3:55pm, but includes two buildings (bldg A until 2pm, and bldg B 2:15-3:55pm), a sub could pick up the very last bit of that 2:15-3:55, if the job is still unfilled after 12:18pm that same day. If the absence is created as a half-day or a full day, that is how it needs to be picked up by a sub. I've spent 3 days conversing with RR support to figure out a way to prevent that from happening, and we have all the schedules set up correctly, and this is the "glitch" that allows a sub to pick up a very small portion of a shift, and then we would have to pay them for (in this example) a half-day rate.

We do not allow our teachers that travel (music!) to enter their days. We have the AM building enter half day AM. The sub works and is paid half day at building one, regardless of the actual hours in the classroom. The PM absence works and is paid half day at building two, regardless of the hours in the classroom.
The sub is available to cover other classes, assist in other ways, or sent home if building desires. No sub is then obligated to travel on any day if they only want to be at one building.
We have the sneakers as I call them that troll for these 15 and 30 minute slots. No more!
