Steps: Create Calendars
A calendar is a list of time-based events with a specific purpose. Example: A calendar that lists the days your offices are legally closed and when employees have mandatory days off.
Applications including Workday Time Tracking, Absence Management, Payroll, and Student can refer to calendars for holiday and work schedule information. Example: You use a calendar to prevent employees from requesting time off on Presidents Day, or from requesting more hours than they're scheduled to work.
In Workday Student, an institution’s academic calendar includes the holiday calendar as part of its noninstructional days.
System administrators and implementers can create holiday and work schedule calendars and assign 1 or more calendars to workers.
- Create calendar rules to define the different populations of workers or students to whom you will assign holiday or work schedule calendars.
- Create calendars from scratch or copy existing calendars and modify them.
- Example: Add holidays to holiday calendars, then define daily work schedules and add them to work schedule calendars.
