Concept: Daily Evaluation of Worker Eligibility for Time Calculations

Concept: Daily Evaluation of Worker Eligibility for Time Calculations

The tenant-level
Run Time Calculation Eligibility Day by Day
setting provides you the option to evaluate worker eligibility for time calculations daily, rather than applying end of the week eligibility. This supports midweek changes in worker eligibility. The tenant-level setting includes selecting when you want daily evaluation of eligibility to begin. When you select a date in the middle of the week, daily evaluation applies to the entire week.
When you opt-in to this feature, Workday automatically applies the appropriate time calculation and time calculation group snapshots. Time calculation snapshots will be evaluated daily. This means that override rate changes or other premiums can change midweek without an eligibility change.
For non-daily calculations, Workday evaluates the hours that meet the calculation criteria for the period of the calculation, but only persists changes to the calculated time blocks on days for which the worker is eligible for the time calculation snapshot.
This feature will have an impact on your tenant performance and should be considered based on your business requirements. We recommend that you set up the
Country / Country Region
prompt on the time calculation groups to limit the performance impact before you opt-in to this feature.
You can run the
Time Calculation Debugger
report in the alternate state of your tenant-level setting so that you can compare changes in calculation results. For example, when your tenant-level setting is set to daily evaluation, deselect the
Evaluate Time Calculation Eligibility Daily
check box so that you can review the report output based on end of week eligibility. The options you select when you run the
Time Calculation Debugger
report don't change your tenant-level setting, and the report output is not persisted.

Reporting

When you select the
Run Time Calculation Eligibility Day by Day
tenant-level setting, you can identify worker eligibility changes for time calculation and time calculation group snapshots using the
Time Calculation Eligibility Changes
report. Since we have removed the time-calculation-related columns on the
Find Shift Blocks Crossing Weeks with Eligibility Changes
and
View Shift Blocks Crossing Weeks with Eligibility Changes Results
reports, when you enable daily evaluation, you can no longer use them to track time calculation eligibility changes.
