The correct answer is D. Monday .
In Workday Time Tracking, when you create a Work Schedule Calendar , the Work Week Start Day field defaults to Monday . This default is important because the work week start day influences how Workday organizes weekly scheduling, displays calendar weeks, and applies certain weekly time calculations. Since many organizations structure operational or reporting weeks from Monday through Sunday, Workday uses Monday as the standard default starting point unless configuration is intentionally changed.
This field matters because it helps define how a worker's schedule is grouped across the week for planning and tracking purposes. It can affect how managers and administrators interpret weekly patterns, shift rotations, and time-based reporting. Although organizations may later adjust the work week start day based on business requirements, regional practices, or union rules, the initial default value during setup remains Monday .
The other answer choices are incorrect because they are not the standard default delivered in the initial calendar setup. While a company could choose Friday , Saturday , or Sunday for a custom business need, those are configured exceptions rather than the default system behavior.
So, for a newly created Work Schedule Calendar in Workday Time Tracking, the Work Week Start Day defaults to Monday .
