Correct Answer:
C. They are added to Time Calculation Groups where eligibility is assigned.
Explanation

Time Tracking Calculations are not assigned directly to workers. Instead, they are organized into Time Calculation Groups. Eligibility rules are then configured for these groups to determine which populations of workers (based on criteria like job profile, location, or organization) will have the calculations applied to their time entries. This group-based approach allows for scalable and manageable administration of complex calculation logic across the enterprise.

Why Incorrect

A. Time Entry Templates control the layout and fields available for time entry, not the backend calculation logic that processes the entered time.
B. Assigning calculations directly to each worker would be administratively unmanageable and is not the standard Workday configuration method.
D. Calculations are not directly attached to a Supervisory Organization; eligibility for a calculation group can be based on organization membership, but it's an indirect link.
