The correct answer is B. Hours Only Time Type .
In Workday Time Tracking, elapsed time means entering the total amount of time worked as a number of hours rather than recording specific start and end punch times . That is exactly the purpose of the Hours Only Time Type . It is used when workers report time by duration, such as 8 hours of regular work, 4 hours of training, or 2.5 hours on a project, without providing in and out timestamps.
This differs from the In/Out Time Type , which is used when workers must record actual clock-style entries such as start time, meal breaks, and end time. That method is appropriate for punch-based populations, but it is not considered elapsed-time entry in the way this question is asking. Absence Table Time Type and Time Off Time Type are related to absence and leave reporting, not standard worked time entered as elapsed hours.
The distinction is important in Workday setup because a worker’s time entry experience depends heavily on the Time Type assigned through the relevant templates and eligibility rules. If the business wants workers to simply enter the amount of time worked rather than exact punches, the appropriate configuration is Hours Only Time Type .
