Define the work week

When you define the work week, you identify the days that count toward weekly schedule limits and the days that do not count toward weekly schedule limits.

Indicate inside days — Define a work week of days that count toward weekly schedule rule limits.

Indicate outside days — Hours scheduled during these days are not counted in weekly scheduling limits. These days are not included in the work week, or are treated differently from hours during inside days. Examples include weekend days and holidays.

Display totals — For outside and inside days, and schedule periods to include in custom reports.

Example:

  • A holiday is on a weekday. To exclude the hours from weekly limits, define that day to be an outside day.
  • A holiday is on a weekend day. To include the hours in weekly limits, define that day to be an inside day.

    Example: Collective bargaining agreements in unionized organizations can use outside and inside days to define hours that count toward weekly limits in employee schedule rules.

Note: Your function access profile must allow you to define work outside of work week (Administration > Application Setup > Access Profiles > Function Access Profiles. Select an access profile, go to Manager - Department Manager, expand Scheduling and then expand Work Week. Set Create Work Week and Assign Work Week to "Allowed").

Assign work week definitions to schedule rules sets. Then, assign the schedule rule sets to employees.
