Introduction

Features

Certain features are not yet here, but already planned (see Roadmap below). Your feedback will be incorporated.

It enhances the Working times view with
- Manual bookings (adjust the time account with plus or minus hours)
- Overview of the entire year with results per day, the ability to close a month, download result PDF and more
- See if a user has overtimes or minus hours (since first day in company, per year/month/day)
- Monthly approvals (per user) with PDF handouts that contain the working-hour details for the entire month
- See if your users have missing days (no times entered on days where they had to work)
It adds the Absence view, which allows to
- Create holidays (half-days possible)
- Take time-off (if account has overtime)
- Create sickness days
- Create other absences (e.g. unpaid leave)
- Automatically adds the times absent to the user’s timesheet based on their daily working time
- Export absences per user to Excel
And it adds the new Public holiday management view
- Allows to create different groups (e.g. for different countries or states) and add public holidays to each of them
- Import and manual creation of public (local) holidays
- Public holidays will automatically be added to the user’s timesheet (a user can only be in one public-holiday group)
- Public holidays can be imported automatically (check if your country is supported).
Per user contract settings
- Expected working hours per day of the week: Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday
- Vacation entitlement per user for the calendar year
- The starting and ending day limit the working hours calculation
You can import data from the MR plugins (Controlling, Sickday, Vacation)
The user calendar will show all absences (sickness, vacation…) and public-holidays

Roadmap

These features will be added in the future, but there is no guarantee when or in which order.

- Absence calendar
    - Display all users / teams
    - Allow export as ical (or similar format) for use in external calendars (e.g. Outlook)

  - Allow automatic adjustments of time and holiday account of next year, e.g. from a list-overview
- API 
  - Methods to write absences (e.g. when using a HR tool for holiday planning)

Ideas

This list is a collection of feature wishes from users, which might or might not be added. If you need one of these features, do not rely on them being added, but contact me upfront to discuss your needs. If I decide to add one of these feature, it will be moved to the “Roadmap” section.

- Configurable amount of allowed negative hours for time-off: https://github.com/kimai/Paid-plugins/issues/159
- Prevent that certain days can be booked for vacation

    - Show type in PDF
    - paid/not paid
  - Sum of sickness and other days on Absence screen

Installation

Copy files

Extract the ZIP file and upload the included directory and all files to your Kimai installation to the new directory:

var/plugins/WorkContractBundle/

The file structure needs to look like this afterwards:

var/plugins/
├── WorkContractBundle
│   ├── WorkContractBundle.php
|   └ ... more files and directories follow here ...

Clear cache

After uploading the files, Kimai needs to know about the new plugin. It will be found once the cache was re-built. Call these commands from the Kimai directory:

How to reload Kimai cache

bin/console kimai:reload --env=prod

It is not advised, but in case the above command fails you could try:

rm -r var/cache/prod/*

You might have to set file permissions afterwards:

Adjust file permission

You have to allow PHP (your webserver process) to write to var/ and it subdirectories.

Here is an example for Debian/Ubuntu, to be executed inside the Kimai directory:

chown -R :www-data .
chmod -R g+r .
chmod -R g+rw var/

You might not need these commands in a shared-hosting environment. And you probably need to prefix them with sudo and/or the group might be called different from www-data.

Create database

Run the following command:

bin/console kimai:bundle:workcontract:install

This will create the required database tables and update them to the latest version.

If you see an error like There are no commands defined in the "kimai:bundle:XYZ" namespace., then either the directory has a wrong name (must be var/plugins/WorkContractBundle/) or you forgot to clear the cache (look above).

Updates

Updating the plugin works exactly like the installation:

Delete the directory var/plugins/WorkContractBundle/
Execute all installation steps again:
- Copy files
- Clear cache
- Update database with bin/console kimai:bundle:workcontract:install
