Workday’s Physical Locations for Business Asset Tracking
Workday creates physical locations for new companies, such as those in New York and Chicago, to track business assets and physical workspaces. These locations are logical entities for the actual physical workspaces or buildings and are used to default certain data values like date formats, time zones, and currencies.
Working hours in Workday perspective
When hiring workers into a location, it must have a usage type as a business site. This includes setting the time profile, which determines the expected Workday work hours per week for a full-time employee.
For example, in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, the typical Workday work hours are 40 hours.
In some countries, the time profile may be different, such as France at 35 hours, Australia at 38 hours, or some countries at 45 hours.
By defining the usage type and usage of a location, Workday helps ensure that employees are working in the most suitable location for their needs.
