Half day absence / Hald day sick / Fill worktime

[marcaurele]

Hi,

I was playing with the tool and was wondering what was the differentiator with the flag fill worktime on Absence model?.

How users are supposed to enter half-day of holidays for example? I see that only absences without the fill worktime can have a positive credits (annual leave allowance) which gets decreased by how many such full absences are taken.

Same for sickness, how are users supposed to report half afternoon sickness? Should this absence type be flagged as fill worktime?

Hi,

Thanks for the question.

With fill_worktime you can define, if you want to fill the work day with the absence based on the already reported time. This is based on the worktime_per_day set in an employment. So the time of the absence either fills the worktime_per_day or has the duration of worktime_per_day

I'll give you an example:
You have an employment of 8h/day.

1. You work 4 hours and by adding an absence you fill the remaining 4 hours with it.
   or
2. You work 2 hours and additionally create an absence for that day. The absence time is then set by the worktime_per_day

Number 1 results in 4h work time, 4h absence.
Number 2 results in 2h work time, 8h absence.

I hope that answers your questions. :)

Thanks I understand better how the fill worktime works.

I'm still having a hard time to understand how to setup the vacations for example. With an employment, each person gets an allowance beginning of the year of let's say 25 days. So in order to put a positive credit balance, the absence type "vacations" must not have the fill worktime checked. This works fine for full day of vacations. But how do you do with 1/2 days? The 4hours would be seen as extra work?

As of now, having half day vacations using the credit balance, is not possible.
You'd have to activate fill worktime and keep track of the amount of hours a user could spend for vacations. That would require some manual work. like calculating the max amount of hours for vacations and verifying it with the current amount.

Thanks @trowik! This was my guess too but wanted to double check. I might work on an improvement one day.
