Work Schedule
The days and hours an employee is expected to work, used to calculate leave correctly.
A work schedule defines an employee's normal working days and hours. It's essential for leave because it determines how much a day off actually consumes and which days are workdays versus weekends.
Different schedules (full-time, part-time, shift) need different leave math, which is why systems tie each person to a schedule.
Example: A 4-day-a-week schedule means a 'week off' costs 4 days of leave, not 5.
In Orvella: Orvella uses each employee's work schedule to calculate leave and exclude their non-working days.
