Work entries from attendances

By default, an employee’s work entries follow their working schedule: the hours they are supposed to work. For staff whose hours vary from day to day, WideCare can draw the work entries from the attendances they clock instead.

Note

This option is for databases on the Community edition of Odoo. The Enterprise edition has its own attendance-based work entries.

Count an employee from their attendances

  1. Open the employee’s record, tab Payroll (HR managers).

  2. In Work Entries From, choose Attendances.

  3. In Overtime Work Entry Type, choose the type the approved extra hours become. Leave it empty to count every hour attended as attendance (Counted as attendance).

From then on:

  • the attendance work entry of a day is the time between the check-ins and check-outs of that day; nothing is deducted for lunch, the employee clocks the break; the Attendances app reads these employees the same way;

  • the extra hours computed by the Attendances app are taken out of the attendance work entry; approved, they become a work entry of the overtime type; refused or still to approve, they are not counted;

  • time off and public holidays keep the hours of the working schedule;

  • a check-in, a check-out, a corrected attendance or an approved or refused extra hour regenerates the work entries of its day, unless that day holds a validated work entry.

Read the work entries

The Employees app gets a Work Entries menu (HR officers), with:

  • Work Entries — the work entries of every employee;

  • Work Entry Types — the types they use, the overtime type included.
