Concept: Auto-Fill Time by Schedule Service Step
You can add the
Auto-fill Time by Schedule
service step to the Hire
business process to automatically populate the time blocks for new hires if they begin after the Mass Autofill from Schedule process runs for a week. The service step fills in time blocks from the worker’s Hire Date through the end of their first week.In order for Workday to populate time blocks, the worker must be:
- Eligible for a time entry template with theAuto-fill from Scheduleoption enabled.
- Eligible for a time entry template included in a scheduled Mass Autofill from Schedule run within the 6 days following the worker’s hire date.
The service step will populate scheduled hours based on the week in which the hire date falls. The week is based on the
Start Day of Week
on the worker’s work schedule calendar.
- If the worker is hired in the current week, scheduled hours will be populated from the hire date until the last day of the week.
- If the worker is hired with an effective date in the past, scheduled hours will be populated in the current week.
- If the worker is hired with an effective date in the future, scheduled hours will be populated from the hire date until the last day of that week.
If the week to be populated includes a holiday (based on the holiday calendar) Workday populates hours for the holiday.
You can add a step delay to the service step so it doesn't run until the worker’s hire date.
