What field on a time off plan defines the number of hours or days that automatically populate when entering time off requests?

In Workday Absence Management, the "Daily Quantity Default" field on the Time Off Plan configuration dictates the default number of hours or days that automatically populate when a worker initiates a time off request. This setting streamlines the user experience by pre-filling the request with standard working hours (for example, 8 hours for a full-time employee) based on the plan's definition. Workers can typically override this default value if they need to request partial days, provided the plan allows for partial day requests. This field is essential for ensuring accurate initial data entry for absence requests.

A. "Days to Include" determines which days of the week are considered valid for time off (e.g., excluding weekends), not the default quantity.
B. "Lower Limit" defines the minimum balance a worker can have (often used for negative balance limits), not the default request quantity.
D. "Accrual Frequency Method" determines how often time off is earned (e.g., monthly, per pay period), unrelated to request defaults.
