When a call to sp:ApptOfferRequest is for a job whose job type specifies that it can be fragmented and the job is of sufficient duration, a set of offers called an offer group may be returned. (In some cases, where the length of the job is greater than the long job: split threshold (6.1) Long Job: Split Threshold but less than the length of the operative’s shift, a single offer can be returned as well.) All of the offers in an offer group are for the same operative. Where the last part of the job is short enough, and the previous job is the last job in its shift, and the AllowEmpOT option has been set, it will be included as AOT in that previous shift; this will save the extra visit.
