Start Day Rule

You can configure workday definitions to use the Start day spanning days rule on classic, responsive, and enhanced time card entries that span midnight. The rule includes on-call entries defaulted from Oracle Fusion Cloud Workforce Scheduling.

With this rule, the earned and reference dates for the entry are the start date of the entry. For grouped time entries, it's the start date of the oldest time entry in the group.

Entry Spans 2 Periods

It's possible that an entry group includes the last entry of a time card period and the first entry on the next period. These entries both appear on the first time card because the earned and reference dates are in that time card period. The entry from the next period appears as an another day on the first time card.

Here's an example with a time card period of April 5 to 11. The person has a grouping threshold of 90 minutes because you want to keep entries before and after a break together as a single shift. The person works a regular or on-call shift that starts on April 11 and ends on April 12.

Time Card Period	Date	Start Time	Stop Time	Complete Time Entry
April 5 to 11	April 11	6:30p	11:30p	6:30p to 11:30p
	April 12	NA	NA	12:30a to 5:30a
April 12 to 18	April 12	12:30a	5:30a	NA

Their two time entries are from 6:30p to 11:30p on April 11 and from 12:30a to 5:30a on April 12. Normally, the time card wouldn't show the April 12 time entry because it's part of the next time card period. But because the entries are grouped, the rule adds the April 12 entry to the April 5 to 11 time card.

Also, the entries get processed together as part of the April 5 to 11 time card period. If time card, absence accrual, and pay periods are the same, then the entries also accrue and get paid in that period.
