Steps: Set Up Scheduling Organizations

Steps: Set Up Scheduling Organizations

Security:
Set Up: Scheduling: Maintain Scheduling Organizations
 domain in the Scheduling functional area.
There are 3 types of organizations that you can use in Workday Scheduling: high-level scheduling organizations (HLSOs), scheduling organizations, and subgroup organizations. High-level scheduling organizations define settings for themselves and the scheduling organizations below them in the organization hierarchy. Scheduling organizations are the organizations that schedules are created for. An HLSO can also be a scheduling organization. Subgroup organizations are a smaller group of workers within a scheduling organization.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Scheduling Organizations
     task.
    Define whether an organization is a high-level scheduling organization, a scheduling organization, or both.
    Example: You make the
    Property Management - NA
     supervisory organization an HLSO, but not a scheduling organization. You make 2 of its subordinate organizations,
    Property Management - CAN
     and
    Property Management - USA
     scheduling organizations. You define the schedule settings at the
    Property Management - NA
     level. The
    Property Management - CAN
     and
    Property Management - USA
     scheduling organizations inherit the settings from
    Property Management - NA
    . When Workday creates schedules, it will create schedules for
    Property Management - CAN
     and
    Property Management - USA
    .
  2. (Optional) Set up subgroup organizations to create smaller groups of workers within a scheduling organization.
