Abwesenheiten¶
Odoo’s Time Off application is a centralized place, where all time off information is housed. The Time Off app manages everything related to requests, balances, allocations, approvals, and reports.
Users can request time off, managers can approve time off requests, allocate time off to individuals, teams, or the whole company, reports can be run to see how much time off (and what kinds of time off) are being used, accrual plans can be created, and public holidays can be set.
Bemerkung
Be advised, only users with specific access rights can see all aspects of the Time Off application.
All users can access the My Time Off and Overview sections of the Time Off application. All other sections require specific access rights.
To better understand how access rights affect the Time Off application, refer to the Einen neuen Mitarbeiter anlegen document, specifically the section about configuring the work information tab.
Konfiguration¶
Um den Mitarbeitern Abwesenheiten zuzuweisen und damit die Mitarbeiter ihre Abwesenheit beantragen und nutzen können, müssen zunächst die verschiedenen Abwesenheitsarten konfiguriert und dann den Mitarbeitern zugewiesen werden (falls eine Zuweisung erforderlich ist).
Abwesenheitsarten¶
To view the currently configured time off types, navigate to . The time off types are presented in a list view. The Time Off application comes with four types of time off pre-configured: Paid Time Off, Sick Time Off, Unpaid, and Compensatory Days. Any of these may be modified to suit the needs of the businesses, or can be used as-is.
Anwesenheitsart erstellen¶
To create a new time off type, navigate to . From here, click the Create button to reveal a blank time off type form.
Enter the name for the particular type of time off in the blank line at the top of the form, such as
Sick Time or Vacation. Then, enter the following information on the form:
Time off requests section¶
Genehmigung: Wählen Sie aus, welche Art von Genehmigung für die Abwesenheitsart erforderlich ist. Es gibt folgende Optionen:
No Validation: no approvals are required when requesting this type of time off. The time off request is automatically approved when requested.
By Time Off Officer: only the specified Time Off Officer, set on this form in the Responsible Time Off Officer field, is required to approve the time off request. This option is selected by default.
By Employee’s Approver: only the employee’s specified approver for time off, which is set on the Work Information tab on the employee’s form, is required to approve the time off request.
By Employee’s Approver and Time Off Officer: both the employee’s specified time off approver and the Time Off Officer are required to approve the time off request.
Responsible Time Off Officer: select the person responsible for approving requests and allocations for this specific type of time off.
Take Time Off in: select the format the time off is requested from the drop-down menu. The options are:
Tag: Wenn die Abwesenheit nur in ganzen Tagen beantragt werden kann (8 Stunden).
Halber Tag: Wenn die Abwesenheit in halben Tagen beantragt werden kann (4 Stunden).
Stunden: Wenn die Abwesenheit in Stunden genommen werden kann.
Deduct Extra Hours: tick this box if the time off request should factor in any extra time accrued by the employee
Example
For example, if an employee worked two (2) extra hours for the week, and requests five (5) hours of time off, the request would be for three (3) hours, since the two (2) additionally worked hours are used first, and deducted from the request.
Allow To Join Supporting Document: tick this box to allow the employee to attach documents to the time off request. This is useful in situations where documentation is required, such as long-term medical leave.
Kind of Leave: select from the drop-down menu the type of leave this time off type is, either Time Off or Other.
Company: if multiple companies are created in the database, and this time off type only applies to one company, select the company from the drop-down menu. If this field is left blank, the time off type applies to all companies in the database.
Allocation requests section¶
Requires allocation: if the time off must be allocated to employees, select Yes. If the time off can be requested without time off being previously allocated, select No Limit. If No Limit is selected, the following options do not appear on the form.
Employee Requests: select Extra Days Requests Allowed if the employee is able to request more time off than was allocated.
Example
For example, if ten (10) days are allocated to the employee for this particular type of time off, and this option is enabled, the employee may submit a request for more than ten (10) days.
Wenn Mitarbeiter nicht mehr Urlaub beantragen können sollten, als ihnen zusteht, wählen Sie die Option Nicht erlaubt aus.
Approval: select the type of approval(s) required for the allocation of this particular type of time off.

Rückstellungspläne¶
Ein Teil des Urlaubs wird durch einen Rückstellungsplan erworben, d. h. für jede festgelegte Zeitspanne, die ein Mitarbeiter arbeitet (Stunde, Tag, Woche usw.), erwirbt oder sammelt er eine bestimmte Menge an Urlaub an.
Example
If an employee accrues a vacation day for every week they work, they would earn 0.2 vacation days for each hour they work. At the end of a forty (40) hour work week, they earn a whole vacation day (8 hours).
Rückstellungspläne erstellen¶
To create a new accrual plan, navigate to . Then, click the Create button, which reveals a blank accrual plan form.
Enter the accrual plan name in the Name field. If the accrual plan only applies to a specific time off type, select it from the drop-down menu. If this accrual plan is available for all time off types, leave this field blank.
Next, select how the Level Transition occurs, either Immediately or After this accrual’s period. By default, the first level begins once the time off is approved if the time off is based on an accrual plan. If Immediately is selected, then the next level begins according to the time frame set on the level. If After this accrual’s period is selected, the next level does not begin until the first level is completed according to the rules set on it.
Regeln¶
Rules must be created in order for the accrual plan to accrue time off.
To create a new rule, click the Add A New Level button right beneath the word Rules,
and a Create Level pop-up form appears.
Füllen Sie die folgenden Felder des Formulars aus:
Start after (#) (time period) after allocation date: enter the number and value of the time period that must pass before the employee starts to accumulate time off. The first value is numerical; enter a number in the first field.
Then, select the type of time period using the drop-down menu in the second field. The options are: day(s), month(s), or year(s).
Based on worked time: tick this box if the accrual of time off is based on the time the employee has worked. If an employee takes time off that is not considered a worked day, Odoo will not count that day towards their accrual plan.
Rate (#) (time): enter the rate of time off that is accumulated. The first value is numerical; enter a number in the first field. Whole numbers are not necessary, any decimal value may be entered.
Next, in the second field, select the type of time accrued using the drop-down menu. The options are either Days or Hours.
Frequency (X): select how often the employee accrues the time off for this rule using the drop-down menu. The options are Daily, Weekly, Twice a month, Monthly, Twice a year, or Yearly.
Depending on the selection, more fields appear to specify exactly when the accrual renews.
Example
If the employee should accrue one vacation day for every week worked, the Rate is set
to 1, and the Frequency entry is set to Frequency (Weekly) on (Friday). Only the
Frequency and Weekday fields appear.
If the employee should accrue ten (10)vacation days each year, and they receive these days every
year on the first of January, the Rate is set to 10, and the Frequency
entry is set to Frequency (Yearly) on the (1) of (January). The Frequency,
Date, and Month fields appear.
Limit to: enter a maximum amount of days the employee can accrue with this plan.
At the end of the calendar year, unused accruals will be: select from the drop-down menu how unused time off is handled.
The options are either Transferred to the next year, which rolls over unused time to the next calendar year, or Lost, which means any unused time off is gone.
When the form is filled out, click Save & Close to save the form and close the pop-up, or Save & New to save the form and create a new rule. Add as many levels as desired.
Gesetzliche Feiertage¶
Most countries have public or national holidays, and some companies may have specific days they are closed and/or give extra days as holidays.
Es ist wichtig, diese Tage in Odoo zu konfigurieren, damit die Mitarbeiter wissen, an welchen Tagen sie frei haben, und nicht an Tagen, die bereits als Feiertag (arbeitsfreier Tag) festgelegt sind, Urlaub beantragen.
Gesetzliche Feiertage erstellen¶
Um einen gesetzlichen Feiertag zu erstellen, navigieren Sie zu .
Alle derzeit konfigurierten gesetzlichen Feiertage erscheinen in der Listenansicht.
Click the Create button, and a new line appears at the bottom of the list.
Enter the following information:
Name: enter the name of the holiday.
Company: if in a multi-company database, the current company populates this field by default. It is not possible to edit this field.
Start Date: using the date and time picker, select the date and time that the holiday starts. By default, this field is configured for the current date. The start time is set according to the start time for the company (according to the working times). If the user’s computer is set to a different time zone, the start time is adjusted according to the difference in the time zone compared to the company’s time zone.
End Date: using the date and time picker, select the date and time that the holiday ends. By default, this field is configured for the current date, and the time is set to the end time for the company (according to the working times).

Example
A company is located in San Francisco, and the working times are 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (an eight (8) hour work day with a one (1) hour lunch break). A user is located in New York, and their computer time zone is set to Eastern. When they create a Public Holiday, the start time appears as 12:00 PM - 9:00 PM, since the time zone is accounted for. If a different user is located in Los Angeles, and their computer time zone is set to Pacific, when they create a Public Holiday, the time appears as 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM.
Working Hours: if the holiday should only apply to employees who have a specific set of working hours, select the working hours from the drop-down menu. If left blank, the holiday applies to all employees.
Work Entry Type: if using the Payroll application, this field defines how the work entry for the holiday appears. Select the work entry type from the drop-down menu.
