Create Predictive Scheduling Configurations

Create Predictive Scheduling Configurations

Security:
Set Up: Time Calculations
 in the Time Tracking Calculations functional area.
You can use predictive scheduling configurations to define rules to control whether workers are paid a premium when they work without a sufficient break between shifts. After setting up configurations, create minimum rest time calculations. Workday uses configurations and calculations to apply time calculation tags to time blocks. You can then map the calculation tags to Payroll earnings to identify how to pay time.
  1. Access the
    Create Predictive Scheduling Configuration
     task.
  2. As you complete the
    General Options
     tab, consider:
    Option Description
    Allowed Out Types
    Select one or more out types that will trigger the calculation.
    Only select
    Meal
     or
    Break
     if you use these out types to indicate the end of a shift.
    Minimum Rest Hours after Last Out (up to 48)
    Define a threshold of hours that workers should be away from work between shifts. If a worker enters time before the threshold ends, Workday tags those hours with the calculation tag for minimum rest. You define the minimum rest calculation tag on the calculation.
You enter
8
 in the
Minimum Rest Hours after Last Out (up to 48)
 field and
Out
 in the
Allowed Out Types
 field.
Jennifer works these hours:
In/Out
Time
In
6:00 AM
Out
12:00 PM
In
4:00 PM
Out
9:00 PM
Workday tags to Jennifer's time blocks that fall within the 8-hour minimum rest threshold you defined:
Time Block
Calculation Tags
6:00 AM-12:00 PM
Regular
4:00 PM-8:00 PM
Minimum Rest
8:00 PM-9:00 PM
Regular
Workday doesn't tag the 8:00 PM-9:00 PM time block because it is outside the 8-hour threshold.
  • Create minimum rest time calculations that tag time blocks that meet the criteria you've defined on the configuration.
