Asistencias

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 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.

Permisos de acceso

Understanding access rights is essential to navigating 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 app. 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 Settings app ‣ Users & Companies ‣ Users, and click on an individual user. The Access Rights tab is visible by default. Scroll down to the HUMAN RESOURCES section to view the settings. 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 Mode 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.

Nota

If a user does not have Administrator rights for the Attendances app, they are not able to open the app, even though it appears on the main database dashboard. An Access Error pop-up message appears, stating:

You do not have enough rights to access the fields "attendance_manager_id" on Employee (hr.employee). Please contact your system administrator.

Users who cannot access the Attendances app can still check in and check out of work within the database, using the (red circle) or (green circle) that are always available at the top of the database.

Aprobadores

An approver is a user assigned to review and manage an employee’s attendance records. An approver is typically a manager, though that is not required. Approvers without administrative rights can access and modify attendance records only for the employees they are assigned to. This is the only exception where non-admin users can view records in the Attendances app.

To view who the attendances approver for an employee is, navigate to the Employees application 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.

Configuración

Few configurations are needed in the Attendances app. 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 Attendances application ‣ Configuration to access the configuration menu.

Nota

Any configuration item with an (building) icon is a company-specific configuration. Items without an (building) icon apply to all companies within the database.

Modos

  • Attendances from Backend : activate this feature 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.

  • Automatic Check-Out : activate this feature to automatically check out employees according to their working schedule, after a buffer of time has passed.

  • Tolerance: this field appears only when the Automatic Check-Out feature is enabled. Enter the amount of time, in hours, that must elapse after an employee’s working hours have ended, before they are automatically checked out.

Example

With the Automatic Check-Out option enabled, and the Tolerance set to 2.00 hours, an employee checks in to work at 9:00 AM, and forgets to check-out at 5:00 PM. At 7:00 PM, they are automaticlaly checked out.

  • Absence Management : activate this feature to log any absences that are not associated with a time off request, such as vacation time or sick time, on the attendances report.

Horas extra

This section specifies how extra time (sometimes referred to as overtime) is calculated, including when extra time is counted and what time is not logged.

  • Tiempo de tolerancia a favor de la empresa: escriba la cantidad de tiempo, en minutos, que no se toma en cuenta para las horas adicionales de un empleado. Cuando un empleado registra su salida y el tiempo adicional registrado se encuentra por debajo de los minutos indicados, entonces no cuenta como horas adicionales para el empleado.

  • Tiempo de tolerancia a favor del empleado: ingrese la cantidad de tiempo, en minutos, que recibirá el empleado y que no afecta de forma negativa a su asistencia si registra menos tiempo del necesario en su horario laboral. Cuando un empleado registra su salida y el tiempo total registrado durante el día es menor que las horas laborales especificadas y menor que el plazo especificado, no se le penalizará por sus horas reducidas.

    Example

    Una empresa establece ambos campos de tolerancia con 15 minutos y las horas laborales de todos los empleados están configuradas de 9:00 AM a 5:00 PM.

    Si un empleado registra su entrada a las 9:00 AM y se retira a las 5:14 PM, los 14 minutos adicionales no se toman en cuenta para sus horas adicionales.

    Si un empleado registra su entrada a las 9:05 AM y se retira a las 4:55 PM, no se le penalizará por este desajuste aunque haya registrado 10 minutos menos de los correspondientes a su jornada laboral completa.

  • Extra Hours Validation : tick either the radio button next to Automatically Approved to have all extra time automatically approved, or Approved by Manager if all extra time should be reviewed and approved by a manager.

  • Mostrar horas extra: seleccione esta casilla para mostrar las horas adicionales registradas por un empleado cuando registra su salida en un quiosco o cuando un usuario registra su salida en la base de datos.

Nota

Approved extra hours can be deducted from an approved time off request.

Vista general

When entering the Attendances application, the Overview dashboard is presented, containing all the user’s check in and check out information. If the user has the required access rights or is an approver for specific employees, those employeess” check-in and check-out information also appears on the Overview dashboard.

The Attendance dashboard allows switching between (Gantt) and (List) views, and selecting a period to analyze. The current period is automatically highlighted in yellow for real-time attendance records, while the (Focus Today) button instantly returns the dashboard to the present date.
