"My Timesheet" addition

Post by gml »

Hello!

Under "Accumulated Time" on "My Timesheet" there is
  • Regular Time
    +Overtime
    =Total Time
Could unpaid undertime also displayed there?

For Germany it would make sense to display unpaid absence, since if you accumulate overtime it usually agreed upon in employment contracts that overtime should be used and only if you can't spend it (ie because your employer can't afford to let you take some hours off), the employee gets compensated for them. And undertime will be catched up on if possible.


It would be:
  • Regular Time
    +Overtime (deposit to accrual account)
    -Unpaid/Docked Undertime (withdrawal from accrual account)
    =Total Time
Or instead of the 2 rows a sum of them. Basically a short version of the "Accrual Balance List":
  • Regular Time
    +(Overtime-Unpaid | Docked Undertime)
    =Total Time
Link that row to the Accrual Balance List and I would have less work explaining why the employee has an overtime of 2 hours on his timesheet but in reality has accumulated 5 hours undertime.


I really need to learn php...

Unfortunately the issue here is that the two Total Time values should match, and:

Regular Time
+Overtime
-Undertime
= Total Time

Is not a correct formula, because regular time only includes worked time and paid absence time, so the resulting total will actually be less then it should be.
