Business Groups and HR Organizations: Entering Work Day Defaults

To enter schedule information for a person, you can:

Alternatively, you can enter basic schedule information in various areas of Oracle HRMS, such as here in the Organization window. You can set up default working hours for all employees in the Business Group or in an HR Organization, saving data entry at lower levels. When necessary, you can override the defaults at lower levels, for example, for individual positions or employee assignments.

Attention: The application does not use the schedule information that you can enter here to determine a worker's availability. This is for information purposes only.

The decision for which method to set up is based on knowledge of which applications use which information.

The Salary Administration process uses working hours information to prorate the salary values against which it validates any salary proposals.
