You have configured a time calculation to identify when a worker has reached or exceeded a number of consecutive days worked. You must now configure a time calculation for hours worked over 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day. How do you assign priority to ensure the time is processed correctly?

The two calculations are dependent: the overtime calculation for the seventh day can only run after another calculation has successfully identified and tagged that day as the seventh consecutive day. In Workday, dependent calculations require manual prioritization. The calculation that identifies the condition (the 7th day) must be assigned a higher priority (a lower number, e.g., 100) so it executes first. The calculation that acts on that condition (overtime on the 7th day) must be assigned a lower priority (a higher number, e.g., 200) to ensure it runs afterward.

A. Workday does not automatically determine the logical priority for complex, dependent calculations; this must be configured by an administrator.
B. Time Tracking Eligibility Rules determine which workers are subject to a calculation, not the execution order of multiple calculations for an eligible worker.
D. Assigning calculations to a group is a prerequisite for prioritization, but it does not by itself set the correct execution order within that group.

1. Workday Time Tracking Administrator Guide. Section: "Time Calculation Priorities". The guide specifies that calculations with dependencies, where one calculation's output is the input for another, must be ordered using the Maintain Time Calculation Priorities task.

2. Workday Community, Article ID: 21455. "Configuring Dependent Calculations". This article provides examples of setting up multi-step calculations, emphasizing that the prerequisite calculation must always be given a higher priority (lower priority number) to ensure it runs first.
