For a more efficient method of handling payroll tasks, Odoo version 18 centralises payroll apps into the payroll functionality and employee management feature. Employees can specify different work hours, shifts, and breaks by labour laws and an organization’s internal policies using payroll working schedules.
This modification eliminates the requirement to configure working hours by directly accessing employee records via the Employee module. The Payroll module manages all the settings for companies with intricate payroll processes, making it easier to use.
A Comprehensive Guide to Setting Up Working Hours
Step 1: Access the Working Schedule Configuration: A Comprehensive Guide
Go to the Payroll app → Configuration → Working Schedules to set up working hours.Hours of Work
You may create new working schedules from here by clicking Create or edit existing ones. These schedules define the hours, days, and breaks for employees.
Step 2: Establishing and Changing Work Schedules
When creating a schedule, make sure to include the following:
Working Hours: Specify when each workday begins and ends.
Breaks: Schedule breaks during the working day.
Workdays: Designate particular workdays (Monday through Friday, for example).
Businesses can accommodate a range of work patterns by customising this for various employee positions, including full-time, part-time, and flexible hours.
Step 3: Giving employees their work schedules.
Once the working schedules have been created, go to the Employee Contracts and give each employee the proper schedule.
Employees’ official working hours are determined by their allotted work schedule, which is utilised for payroll computations and attendance monitoring.
Advanced Working Time Configuration Features
- Integration of Roles and Shifts with Planning
Integration with the Planning module is possible with Odoo 18. This eliminates manual labour and guarantees that shifts correspond with available resources by enabling shifts to be automatically assigned based on employee functions and working schedules.
- Flexible and Part-Time Schedules
Setting up part-time working hours is another feature that Odoo 18 allows. Businesses can accurately compute the work entries of part-time employees based on a percentage of full-time hours by configuring the working schedule.
