How to set up hour trackers and compensation for working hours

Updated over 2 months ago

Why is it important?

Hour trackers are used to manage working time compensation, also known as overtime recovery.


How do I activate hour trackers?

  1. Access hour trackers:

    • Go to Establishment settings > Trackers.

    • Click on the button to start the settings.

  2. General operation:

    • Additional hours compensation applies to employees on standard contracts with a defined hourly volume.

    • Additional hours are calculated from Monday to Sunday and adjusted weekly according to attendance or absences.

    • This does not apply to employees on fixed-day or Extra contracts.

A days-worked tracker is available for employees on day-rate contracts. The counter can be modified or reset to zero if additional hours are paid.

New employees:

  • Their hour tracker is automatically activated according to the contract start date.


How to set up hour trackers?

  1. Initialize trackers:

    • On activation, a window opens to initialize hour trackers.

  2. Activate hours surcharge (optional):

    • This option allows additional hours to be paid at the rate specified in the Collective Agreement.

    • For example, 10% overtime turns 1 hour of additional hours into 1 hour and 6 minutes of compensatory rest.

    • The bonus can be activated at start-up or at a later date.

  3. Choose the initialization week:

    • Select the Sunday preceding the first week of use.

    • The initialization date is always a Sunday, to record hours worked in a full week.

    • You can change the initialization date in the employee file > History / Counters > Hour tracker.

  4. Resume history:

    • Enter the number of hours worked before the tracker was activated.

    • Use the “+” and “-” buttons to add a positive or negative balance.

    • All boxes must be filled in (enter 0 for a zero balance).

    • Convert hours to decimal values (e.g. 4:30 = 4.5).

  5. Confirm activation:

    • Click on Validate to activate additional hours compensation.

It is not advisable to deactivate this feature after activation, as the hour tracker history will be erased.
