Is it possible to configure theoretical time based on contract hours?
Of course you can! In Sesame, there are two options for calculating the theoretical time your team must work. On the one hand, theoretical time can be based on the time assigned to the employee through their schedule or shift. On the other hand, it can be calculated based on the hours established in their contract.
By default, the first option is enabled. Let's go over how to modify the setting.
Go to Configuration >> Advanced configuration, and choose one of the following options:
- Count theoretical time based on the assigned schedule or shift:
Overtime will be calculated based on the difference between the time assigned to the employee through their schedule or shift and the time worked.
- Count theoretical time based on contract:
Overtime will be calculated based on the difference between the hours stated in the employee’s contract and the time worked. The time assigned by schedules or shifts will now be referred to as "planned time". Watch out! If you choose this option, Sesame will notify you of any employees whose contracts do not have time assigned.
By choosing the second option, Sesame will offer you two alternatives. On the one hand, you can choose to recalculate everything, so that all of your employees’ theoretical time, since your company started using Sesame, is recalculated based on their contract hours. On the other hand, you can set a specific start date, so that theoretical time is calculated based on contracts from that date onward, while any time prior to it remains based on the assigned schedule or shift.
If you change the theoretical time configuration to use the hours stated in employees’ contracts, several sections will reflect this new logic and notify you of this. You’ll see these changes in the Clock ins/outs, Shifts, Statistics, and Schedules sections. If you want to know more about these updates, click here.
