A manager uses the Assign Work Schedule task to assign a work schedule to a worker. What overrides the schedule assignment?

The "Assign Work Schedule" task sets a worker's default or baseline schedule. However, Workday allows for temporary, one-off changes to this schedule. These are known as ad hoc schedule changes and can be made by managers or workers (depending on security) for specific days. An ad hoc change for a particular day will always take precedence over the worker's baseline assigned work schedule for that day.

A. Flextime bands: These define a window of acceptable start and end times but do not override the core scheduled hours or the schedule assignment itself.
B. Schedule deviation calculation: This is a process that measures the difference between scheduled hours and reported hours; it does not alter the schedule.
C. Work schedule eligible rules: These rules determine which schedules a worker is eligible for upon assignment; they do not override an already-assigned schedule.
