Aanwezigheid¶
Odoo’s Attendances application functions as a time clock. Employees are able to check in and out of work using a dedicated device in kiosk mode, while users are also able to check in and out of work directly from the database. Managers can quickly see who is available at any given time, create reports to see everyone’s hours, and gain insights on which employees are working overtime, or checking out of work earlier than expected.
Toegangsrechten¶
It is important to understand how the different access rights affect what options and features users can access in the Attendances application.
Every user in the database is able to check in and out directly from the database, without needing access to the Attendances application. Additionally, all users can access their own attendance records from their employee form in the Employees app.
Access to both the Attendances application, and the various features within the application is determined by access rights.
To see what access rights a user has, navigate to the , and click on an individual user. The Access Rights tab is visible by default. Scroll down to the Human Resources section to see the setting. For the Attendances field, the options are either to leave the field blank or select Administrator.
If the Administrator option is selected, the user has full access to the entire Attendances application, with no restrictions. They can view all employee attendance records, enter Kiosk mMode from the application, access all reporting metrics, and make modifications to the settings. If left blank, the user does not have access to the Attendances application.
Goedkeurders¶
The only other scenario where different information may be accessible in the Attendances application is for approvers. If a user does not have administrative rights for the Attendances application, but they are set as an employee’s approver for the Attendances application, that user is able to view the attendance records for that specific employee, as well as make modifications to that employee’s attendance records, if necessary. This applies to all employees for whom the user is listed as the Attendances application approver. Approvers are typically managers, though this is not required.
To see who the attendance approver is for an employee, navigate to the and click on the specific employee. Click on the Work Information tab, scroll to the Approvers section, and check the Attendance field. The person selected is able to view that employees’ attendance records, both on the Attendances application dashboard as well as in the attendance reports, and make modifications to their records.
Configuratie¶
Few configurations are needed in the Attendances application. Determining how employees check in and out, defining how the kiosks function, and determining how extra hours are computed are all set in the Configuration menu. Navigate to the to access the configuration menu.
Modes¶
Attendances from Backend: activate this selection to allow users to check in and out directly from the Odoo database. If this is not activated, users must use a kiosk to check in and out of work.
Extra uren¶
This section specifies how extra time is calculated, including when extra time is counted and what time is not logged.
Count of Extra Hours: enable this box to allow employees to log extra hours beyond their set working hours (sometimes referred to as overtime). Activating this selection displays the following settings as well. If this is not activated, no other configurations appear.
Start From: the current date is automatically entered in this field. If desired, click on this field and use the calendar selector to modify the start date on which extra hours are logged.
Tolerance Time In Favor Of Company: enter the amount of time, in minutes, that is not counted towards an employee’s overtime. When an employee checks out, and the extra time logged is below the specified minutes, the extra time is not counted as overtime for the employee.
Tolerance Time In Favor Of Employee: enter the amount of time, in minutes, that an employee is given, that does not adversely affect their attendance if they log less time than their working hours. When an employee checks out, and the total time logged for the day is less than their specified working hours and less than this specified grace period, they are not penalized for their reduced hours.
Example
A company sets both of the Tolerance fields to
15minutes, and the working hours for the entire company are set from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.If an employee checks in at 9:00 AM, and checks out at 5:14 PM, the extra 14 minutes are not counted towards their overtime.
If an employee checks in at 9:05 AM, and checks out at 4:55 PM, even though they logged a total of 10 minutes less than their full working hours, they are not penalized for this discrepancy.
Display Extra Hours: activate this box to display the extra hours logged by an employee when they check out with a kiosk, or when a user checks out in the database.
Notitie
Employees are still able to log overtime hours even if the Count of Extra Hours option is not activated. The difference is that when Count of Extra Hours is activated, the extra hours can be deducted from an approved time off request.
