Contract management and working times

This screen and the Contract menu can be seen by any user that has active contract settings and the ones that own the contract_other_profile permission (see Permissions below).

User interface

  • Summary: summary of your working times and the manual bookings
  • Target-hours: the list of the expected working hours for each day of the week
  • Working times: the entire working year
  • Manual bookings

Summary

The summary contains the following information (where each column is one month):

  • one row for working times
  • one row for manual bookings, requires the view_booking_contract permission

Working times

Contains the entire year with the following information:

  • the expected working time for each day of the week
  • the actual working time for each day of the week
  • the difference between expected and actual working time
  • the total working time for each month
  • the total working time for the entire year
  • blue dots for days with either
    • a public holiday
    • any kind of absence

Manual bookings

Manual bookings can be used to increase or reduce the users time account.

Popular examples are:

  • adding a positive amount of hours => taking over hours from the last year
  • removing a negative amount of hours => payment to compensate for plus hours

How calculations work

All calculations are only done up until NOW. That means adding a holiday tomorrow will not change your hour account.

Public holidays

Adds the amount of configured working time as working time. If you add a timesheet on the same day, it calculates as overtime.

Holidays

Adds the amount of configured working time as working time. If you add a timesheet on the same day, it calculates as overtime.

Sickness

Fills up the working day to match the expected working time.

Examples:

  • 8 hours are expected and you already logged 2 hours, then 6 hours will be filled-up
  • 8 hours are expected and no time is logged, then 8 hours will be added

Other

Adds the amount of configured hours as working time.

Time-Off

Will not influence the working time in any way. This booking is only there for information purposes.
