Work schedules show the number of working hours scheduled each day of the week for employees, starting with Monday. For example, for an employee who works 7 hours and 45 minutes each day Sunday through Thursday, with Friday and Saturday off, the work schedule is: 775-775-775-775-0-0-775.

Oracle Payroll uses work schedules to prorate pay for employees who do not submit timecards. The startup data you receive with Oracle Payroll includes several work schedules in common use, entered in the table COMPANY WORK SCHEDULES.

   To select a work schedule for an HR Organization:

1. In the Organization window, query the organization if it does not already appear there. In the Organization Classifications region, select HR Organization, choose the Others button, and select Work Schedule.

2. Click in the field in the Additional Organization Information window to open the Work Schedule window.

3. Select the default work schedule for the organization.

   You can override this default for individual employees on their assignments.

   If the work schedule you need is not on the list, go to the Table Structure window, query the table COMPANY WORK SCHEDULES, and enter the new work schedule.
