      Set the day of the week that must be considered as the first day of the work week. By default, this value is set to Monday.
      Note: For Daily Elapsed Employees and Clocked hours employees, this day is considered as the start day of the work week for the selection criteria on the Hours Summary and Daily Elapsed Summary forms. This day is also considered for Weekly Elapsed employees' hours processing. Weekly Elapsed employees must be assigned to Payroll Schedules that have period start dates that correspond with the Site’s 1st Day of the Work Week setting.
      Work Week Effective Date
      Specify the date from which the change in the first day of the work week, is effective. All the weekly selection criteria for report dates equal to and after this date use the corresponding 1st Day of Work Week to display the records. Queries on report dates, prior to the Work Week Effective Date use the 1st Day of Work Week corresponding to the effective date, for the display of records. If there is no Work Week Effective date that corresponds to the report dates in the query, the default 1st Day of the Work Week is considered for the display of records.
      Note: For Weekly Elapsed Employees in addition to use in selection queries, this parameter is considered as the work week start date for the selection criteria on the Hours Summary and Weekly Elapsed Summary forms
      Generate work week
      Click Generate work week to modify the 1st Day of Work Week setting. If a Work Week Effective Date is specified, report dates prior to the effective date use the default 1st Day of Work Week or the 1st day that corresponds to the 1st day defined for the period, prior to this change.
      Note: 
      • For Weekly Elapsed Employees, effective dates should be set to the current calendar date or to a future date.
      • Elapsed Detail records for weekly employees on report dates prior to the effective date of the work week change or that have create dates that are prior to the work week change, create date cannot be reset. The Generate Work Week utility resets records to the new Work Week Start for Weekly Elapsed Time employees with Elapsed Detail records for future dates (ie, planned absences or holiday abs records).
