Define Working Hours

Security: Set Up: Scheduling: High Level Scheduling Settings
domain in the Scheduling functional area.

You can create configurations that define whether Workday counts time off or holiday time towards working hours for the week. You can then apply that configuration to these validations so that they take time off and holiday time into account:

Minimum Weekly Hours

Maximum Weekly Hours

Maximum Working Days

Weekly Overtime Threshold

Your configuration also determines whether or not holidays display on the

Schedule Workers

report.

Access the

Scheduling Validation Working Hours Configuration

task.

As you complete the

Time Off

section, consider:

Option	Description
Include All Time Offs	Select to include all time offs as working time.
Time Offs	Select the time offs that you’d like to include as working time.
None of the above	Select to exclude all time offs from working time.
Time Off in Days Converted to Hours	Workday converts 1 day of time off into the number of hours that you define. Example: You enter 8 in this field. Workday converts 1 day of time off into 8 working hours.

As you complete the

Holiday

section, consider:

Option	Description
Holiday Calendar	Select the holiday calendar that contains the holidays you want to include as working time. When you use the scheduling validation working hours configuration in any validation, Workday automatically displays the holidays from the associated holiday calendar on the daily and weekly view of schedules for all workers in the HLSO. You can use worker overrides to limit the holidays that workers can see on the schedule. Create a scheduling validation working hours configuration with the appropriate holiday calendar. Then, use that scheduling validation working hours configuration in validations on the worker override. The worker override takes precedence over the configuration on the HLSO. Note: The length of the holiday that displays on the schedule is derived from the hours configured on the scheduling validation working hours configuration, rather than the start and end time of the holiday on the holiday calendar.
Hours	Workday converts 1 holiday into the number of hours you define.

Workday converts 1 holiday into the number of hours you define.

You can select the configuration in the

Additional Hours Configuration

column when configuring scheduling validations.

A worker has a minimum weekly hours validation of 20 hours, a maximum weekly hours validation of 40 hours. You create a scheduling validation working hours configuration that includes all time offs. The worker submits a time off request for 8 hours in a week. Workday Scheduling won’t schedule the worker for more than 32 hours or for less than 12 hours that week to account for the paid time off.
