This function allows administrators to override the standard working hours and the FTE (Full Time Equivalent) flag defined in the Location and Employee Type fields assigned to an employee. This can be used in the exception cases where an employee belongs to a certain Location or an employee type group but has different standard working hours per day or full time equivalent than defined for the Location or the corresponding employee type group and where creating a new Location or a new Employee Type group is not feasible or not worth it for a single exception.
The A Location field defines daily standard working hours in the home location of a user. An example could be 8 hours, 7 hour, 6.5 hours per day
An Employee Type defines user’s FTE (Full Time Equivalent) or what percentage of the daily standard working hours is a user required to work. So if the daily standard working hours for a user location is 8 and the user’s FTE is 0.5, this means user is part time and is only required to work 8 x 0.5=4 hours.
The combination of these fields will also drive policies related to minimum standard working hours requirement, accrual proration and other areas where the hours may be prorated based on the user’s FTE.
