or 60% of the week.
Workweek Example 2: - Answer-if an employee is scheduled to work four days during a week due to

Shannon and Elizabeth are co-workers. They are both pregnant and due around thanksgiving. Shannon
works 5 days each week, for a scheduled eight-hour day. Elizabeth works Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday only and on those days is scheduled for eight hour days. Therefore, Shannon is entitled to 12
workweeks based on a 40-hour schedule, and Elizabeth is entitled to 12 workweeks based on 24- hour
schedule.
All absences are calculated as fraction of the employee's individual schedule. For a traditionally week,
with no holidays, if Shannon takes one-eight-hour day, she has taken 1/5 of workweek ( also calculated
as 20% of a week). If Elizabeth also takes one 8-hour day, she has used 1/3 of a workweek (also
calculated as 33% of a week) as she is only scheduled 3 days.
Elizabeth takes off Wednesday through Friday the week of Columbus Day, when the office is closed on
Monday. What fraction of the week has Elizabeth taken? - Answer-One week- Elizabeth does not work
on Tuesdays or Thursdays, so her absence was only Wed & Fri for a week where she was just scheduled
to work on Wed & Fri. Therefore, of her two scheduled days, she took both of them which equals a full
workweek.

Shannon also takes off Wednesday through Friday the week of Columbus Day, when the office is closed
on Monday. What fraction of the week has she taken? - Answer-3/4 (75%) Shannon was scheduled to
work only 4 days that week as the office was close don Monday (counted as a non-scheduled work day).

scheduled. (75% of the work week)
