DEFINE WORK DIVISIONS#
A work division is a subdivision of an operational entity and is the highest level for Time Scheduling.The definition data for the Define Work Divisions screen is stored in the P2K_TS_WORK_DIVISIONS table.
- Work Division
- This field displays a user-defined code that uniquely identifies the work division. Work Division codes must be unique within an entity.
- Standing
- This field is used to indicate whether the record is `active', `frozen' or `obsolete'. `Active' will default.
- Seniority Date Source
- The value that is optionally selected from this fixed lexicon will determine which seniority date will be used for a worker on ITWO when the Create or Update Worker Information UTBWO is processed. The following table shows which dates are sourced by the selected values:
| 01 | EEM Seniority Date | IEEI/Seniority Date under Service |
| 02 | Job Seniority Date | IEAS/Location Tab |
| 03 | TS Seniority Date | ITWO/This is where it is set manually |

Details tab#
- Description
- This field provides a short description of the work division.
- Work Division Status
- Status is used to indicate whether a division is active at a SPECIFIC point in time, which is different from the standing. For example, while a lifeguard station may have ongoing active standing (not obsolete or frozen), the station may only be active 9 months of the year. For remaining three months of the year, the area's status is non-active.
- Location
- This field displays the physical location of the work division, such as a building, a wing, a floor, an office unit.
- Manager
- This field holds the person code of the employee who manages this division. e.g. Mary Beth Green.
- Schedule Deadline
- This field identifies the day of the week used as the deadline day for time scheduling.
- Start Time of Day
- When shifts are scheduled for the work division, this field will identify the daily start time for the schedule week. The Start Time of Day can be entered either as Military (24hr) time or AM/PM format. The time can be modified for either Military or Standard by changing the preference information in IMST under TIME FORMAT. e.g. 12:00AM will be 00:00 if the Military time format is chosen.

The Work Areas tab provides a list of the associated work areas. This area will be blank until a work area is created as part of this work division (see ITWA). This tab is for VIEWING ONLY.
