Weekly Working Hours for Assignments

You can manage the weekly working hours for a worker's assignment from your employment flows. For example, you can manage the weekly working hours in flows, such as Add Pending Worker, Transfer, and Change Working Hours.

Weekly Working Hours Section

You can use the Weekly Working Hours section to define the hours per day of the week for an employee according to the requirements of their assignment. You can select the section along with other sections from the questionnaire page of the flow you want to run.

The weekly working hours information is displayed in all relevant BIP and post approval notifications for each employment flow. In case there are no weekly working hours defined, the notification won't display the weekly working hours attributes.

Note: The section is hidden out-of-the-box. You can enable the section in the responsive flow by using HCM Experience Design Studio. For more information, see this Transaction Design Studio - What It Is and How It Works (Document ID 2504404.1)

Work Shift Type

There are two work shift types that you can select in the Weekly Working Hours section:

  • Elapsed: When you select this type, you can record the hours for each working day.

  • Time: When you select this type, you can record the start and end times for each working day.

The total working hours for each work shift type indicates if the working hours you entered is less or greater than the designated assignment working hours for each week.

Points to Consider

  • The Work Day Definition and Day Start Time fields are hidden out-of-the-box in the Weekly Working Hours section. You can enable these fields using HCM Experience Design Studio.

  • On the Employment Info page, the Weekly Working Hours section is collapsed by default, and will be displayed only if the worker has weekly working hours data.

  • When you delete the assignment, the weekly working hours data will also be deleted.

  • When you delete the date effective assignment split, the corresponding date effective split of the weekly working hours will also be deleted.

  • The REST service doesn't support managing weekly working hours.

  • The Weekly Working Hours section doesn't support flexfields.

  • When you change the weekly working hours for any day in the responsive UI, the change doesn't affect the Working Hours attribute. Therefore, the FTE doesn't change and remains the same.

  • The Working Hours Type (Work Day or Frequency) field isn't available in the responsive UI. This field has been removed from the Weekly Working Hours section in the responsive UI. This is because you can directly change the Working Hours attribute in the Assignment section of the responsive UI for implementing working hours type as frequency.

  • The Weekly Working Hours section in approval notifications show the unit of time in hours only.
