How to Override Seniority Basis

You calculate seniority in days or hours using the seniority basis value in the worker's assignment. Using the Configure Seniority Dates task, you can override the seniority basis for a particular seniority rule.

For example, you can say that a seniority rule must always be calculated in hours even though the worker's assignment basis is days. The default value for the override in the application is Either Days or Hours.

Let's see how seniority rule is calculated depending on the override values you specify for the seniority basis.

Seniority Basis on the Assignment	Overridden Seniority Basis	Basis for Calculating Seniority Rule
Days	Days	Calendar days
Hours	Days	Calendar days
Days	Hours	Hours loaded in the seniority hours table
Hours	Hours	Hours loaded in the seniority hours table
Days	Either Days or Hours	Calendar days
Hours	Either Days or Hours	Hours loaded in the seniority hours table
