Zu übertragende Abwesenheit

Payroll is often processed a few days before the end of a pay period, so that employees can be paid in a timely manner. When work schedules are predictable, this method often works. However, sometimes employees take time off unexpectedly, especially sick time. When this occurs, there can be discrepancies in payroll that must be addressed.

Example

The payroll department for a medium-sized company processes paychecks every two weeks, on Wednesdays. Each employee is paid on the Friday after.

One employee is sick on the last Thursday and Friday of the two-week pay period. Since they have automatically generated work entries based on their working schedule, and payroll is processed on Wednesdays, the paycheck they receive incorrectly states that they were paid for a regular work day for all ten days of the two-week pay period.

Instead of cancelling the paycheck and reissuing it, causing delays for the employee and more work for the payroll department, Odoo allows for the deferral of the time off taken, to the following pay period.

This ensures all time off balances are correct, and the employee is properly compensated for their time.

Time off dashboard

When time off requests are submitted for a time period that was already processed on a payslip, the time off requests appear in the Time Off page of the Payroll app. To access this, navigate to Payroll app ‣ Work Entries ‣ Time Off to Report.

The Time Off page default filter is To Defer, and displays all requests with a Payslip State of To defer to next payslip. This is because the employee was already paid for that time as worked time, and it was logged as regular time spent at work.

Mehrere Abwesenheitseinträge verschieben

Damit die Abwesenheitssalden des Mitarbeiters korrekt bleiben, muss der Abwesenheitsantrag auf den folgenden Lohnzeitraum übertragen werden. Dadurch wird nicht nur sichergestellt, dass die Salden der Abwesenheitsanträge auf dem neuesten Stand sind, sondern es entfällt auch die Notwendigkeit, Arbeitseinträge zu wiederholen, Gehaltsabrechnungen zu stornieren und Gehaltsabrechnungen neu auszustellen.

To select the work entries to defer, tick the box to the left of the work entry line on the Time Off page. To select all work entries in the list, tick the box to the left of the Employee column title, at the top of the list.

Once any work entry is selected, two buttons appear at the top of the report: a (#) selected button, and an Actions button. The (#) selected button indicates how many entries are currently selected.

When all the desired work entries are selected, click the Actions button, and a menu appears with several choices. Click Defer to Next Month in the list, and all selected entries are deferred to the following month.

Einzelne Abwesenheitseinträge verschieben

Time off requests appearing on the Time Off page can be deferred individually. Click on an individual time off request, and the details for that request load.

Die spezifischen Details für den Abwesenheitsantrag erscheinen links und alle von Mitarbeitern eingereichte Abwesenheitsanträge erscheinen rechts (einschließlich des Antrags in den Details links).

To defer the time off request to the next payslip, click the Report to Next Month button in the upper-left corner. Once processed, the Report to Next Month button disappears, and the Payslip State changes from To defer to next payslip to Computed in Current Payslip.
