Actual working hours vs Full-time equivalent on position

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Hi,
 
Full-time equivalent on position has only 2 decimals:
 
 
2 decimals are not enough for cases like part-time employment, for example 30h of 38.5h working week.
 
The Idea to extend number of decimals was declined by Microsoft https://experience.dynamics.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=52074777-6cec-ea11-bf22-0003ff68cd76
 
It is not possible to change NoOfDecimals of EDT via extension:
 
 
As this EDT is used in approximately 25 tables, it is also "too expensive" to create a new EDT, which extends this type, and change EDT on all fields (to make it right).
 
I have an idea to add a new field Working hours to Parameters (to store 38.5h from the example) and Actual working hours to Position (to store 30h from the example).
Then it will be possible to calculate FTE and use it for critical areas like salary calculation, but store rounded value in standard FTE for analysis.
 
There are 2 questions:
 
1) Is there a better or easier solution for this example?
 
2) Are there standard fields to store Working hours?
 
Best regards,
Oleg

    Hi Oleg
     
    If you use the Time and Attendance Module, there will be actual working hours in the Profile.
     
    If you use the Project Timesheets, you could ad a budget for hours for an employee to calculate FTE.
     
    If the only requirement is to calculate the FTE, creating 2 custom fields as you suggest is a quick and easy solution.
     
    Best regards
