Concept: Working Time

You can use the Working Time section in staffing tasks to record details about a worker's working time and full-time equivalent percentile. You can use the full-time equivalent percentile to calculate compensation and to support workforce planning and reporting.

Workday displays these fields for a job or position so that you can track working time:

Field	Description
Location Weekly Hours	The standard weekly hours associated with the location.
Scheduled Weekly Hours	Populates from an eligibility rule when: You've defined a working time rule. The data populated on staffing tasks apply the rule. Populates from Default Weekly Hours when there's no working time rule. Populates based on the position restrictions when: You select the Enable FTE for Position Restriction check box on the Edit Tenant Setup – HCM task. There's no work hours profile or job requisition for the position. For change job events associated with job requisitions, when there's no working time rule and work hours profile: Populates from the Default Weekly Hours when the full-time equivalent (FTE) of the current job is 100%. Remains same as the current job when the FTE of the current job isn't 100%.
Default Weekly Hours	Populates from a rule when: You've defined a working time rule. The data populated on the task applies the rule. Populates from Location Weekly Hours when there's no working time rule. Populates based on the position restrictions when: You select the Enable FTE for Position Restriction check box on the Edit Tenant Setup – HCM task. There's no work hours profile or job requisition for the position. For change job events associated with job requisitions, when there's no working time rule and work hours profile: Populates from the location weekly hours of the job requisition’s primary location when the FTE of the current job is 100%. Remains same as the current job when the FTE of the current job isn't 100%.
FTE	The full-time equivalent percentage of a worker.
Specify a Paid FTE	Available when you enable Paid FTE on the Maintain Localization Settings task.
Paid FTE %	Available when you enable Paid FTE on the Maintain Localization Settings task.
Specify a Working FTE	Available when you enable Working FTE on the Maintain Localization Settings task. For use in custom reporting.
Working FTE %	Working full-time equivalent of workers. Used in custom reporting. Available when you enable Working FTE on the Maintain Localization Settings task. For use in custom reporting.
Work Shift	Available when you enable Work Shift on the Maintain Localization Settings task. Available when you select the Work Shift Required check box on the job profile. Define the work shifts for a location using the Maintain Work Shifts task.
Frequency	Select from the working time frequencies you specified on the Maintain Frequencies task. Available when you enable Working Time (Frequency, Time Unit, and Time Value) on the Maintain Localization Settings task.
Unit	Available when you enable Working Time (Frequency, Time Unit, and Time Value) on the Maintain Localization Settings task.
Value	Enter the duration of the time unit for the corresponding frequency. Automatically populates to zero. Available when you enable Working Time (Frequency, Time Unit, and Time Value) on the Maintain Localization Settings task.

We enable you to configure country-specific eligibility rules for working time. Working time rules enable you to populate scheduled and default weekly hours for workers automatically, providing a more efficient way to assign full-time equivalent (FTE) percentages to workers.

Example: You can automatically update weekly hours based on eligibility rules when changing a full-time worker to part-time.
