Specifies the days worked for a nonstandard week, where a standard week is five workdays. For example, some assignments may require ten consecutive workdays with five nonworking days.

Work Schedules are defined at the industry level and can vary by geography. The program office defines and maintains work schedules via self-service.

Work Schedules can include or exclude holidays and the hours worked per day to produce accurate estimated cost projections. When hours per day aren't defined, the work hours per day defined on the request template are used to estimate cost calculations.

Work Schedules can be reported on using the Request and Assignment Report Definitions. Users can get a list of requests/assignments by Work Schedule.
