Hello

I'm a bit late on the topic but was pleasantly surprised to see some other people in the OCA having worked on these issues.

Going through all the exchanges here, my feeling is that https://github.com/OCA/hr-attendance/pull/140 and https://github.com/OCA/hr-holidays/pull/87 can a go a long way in solving the core issues from Odoo standard.

However, as we are working on a v16.0 project, did anyone already spend time on migrating these modules?

We might do it if the testing in v15 matches our client's request, but I prefer to ask before starting.

Anyway, huge thanks to all the contributors for the good job.

Hello,

as promised I want to provide links to the PRs we created so far.

  • https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/131558
    • This is a core patch to use the resource calendar provided by the hr.contract if the module is also installed to calculate the overtime (hr.attendance.overtime)
  • https://github.com/OCA/hr-attendance/pull/140
    • This is a module which generates the missing pseudo attendances (with hr.attendance.reason) for working days without attendances
    • I already saw that Holger pushed something similar as draft but in the PR is also code which overwrites other places not everyone might want. Also our testing took a bit longer. I hope this isn't a problem for you Holger?
  • https://github.com/OCA/hr-attendance/pull/141
    • hr_attendance_overtime_manual
    • Small gimmick which will be used for our migration between systems to set the initial offsets. We also have other edge cases where this might be useful.
  • https://github.com/OCA/hr-holidays/pull/86
    • hr_holidays_type_visibility
    • Another annoyance was that Odoo hides leave types with a virtual_remaining_leaves <= 0 automatically. To have an even better overview for the employee we made the visibility configurable.

We would appreciate feedback or if you find bugs. We generally intend to make the Odoo standard models work here to get the most value out of it.

Best Regards,

Florian

Hi Frederik,

I get you point of course. What I can add here is, that there is a boolean flag in the attendance record, where you see that it is generated.
So for that, you are able every time to delete all generated records, if you want. (Perhaps to that time, that Odoo fixes the problem ;-)

I think to build a working patch, needs a lot of refactoring, because everything of overtime calculation is based on attendance records.
And the only way to consider them is, when they really exist.

I also would be more happy, if it wouldn't need such a workaround.
Anyway, this solution fits to our needs, and I just want to share it with all of you. No force to use it.
Vielen Dank und viele Grüße

Hi Stefan,

grounding your work on Odoo Standard is what we usually do as well, as it limits the upstream work and even more importantly the maintenance effort. However, i am genuinly not a friend of "dirty" work arounds like the one you described, even if that is definitely pragmatic. The reason is simple: Attendance of 0 effectively means, a given employee was attending but technically less than the minimum recordable time. So if the authorities see that record at a given time in the future, they might be tempted to belive there was an error with regard to the recorded time. Moreover an attendenance cron job means, the entry has not been made by the employee or a manager (human), which mit might not be favourable either (with regard to law and credibility of the system).

Overall i believe, your strategy is pragmatic but less favourable from a legal standpoint.

So why not patching the standard functionality, so that it calculates "0" when there is no entry and sent this patch for upstream inclusion? I know this is generally a bumpy road with Odoo but to me that would be the best solution for the given problem

Best Frederik

Hello everyone,

I pained about the same issues, you are all telling about. I just can speak for version 16. Probably 15 too, but I‘am not sure. Our module depends to Odoo Core only.

Our biggest pain was, that the overtime is not reduced on days without attendance, where you normally have to work. 

For that problem we found a really simple solution.
The approach was, when you have attendances, then overtime calculation is correct.
 
The trick is, we create an attendance with zero time for days, where no attendance entries exist. 

Therefore we have implemented a cronjob which runs every night and creates missing attendances for days where are no entries. We use here the „generate_series“ method from postgres. 

You also have got a new field „count_attendance_from“ in employee. Starting from that date, all missing attendances are generated with zero time.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to the code.
I just uploaded it to github, while primarily we are using gitlab.

In this repository there are two more modules. Once for generating public holidays worldwide using pythons holiday library and one module, for updating overtime when creating the holidays later. 

hr_attendance_no_gaps:
Module for correct overtime calculation 

hr_generate_public_holidays:
Module for generating holidays

hr_holidays_attendance_overtime:
Bridge module between hr_attendance and hr_holidays to update overtime.

We also would contribute them to oca, but haven‘t written any tests yet. Feel free to contribute :)

Vielen Dank und Viele Grüße

Hello Florian, Holger:

 

After testing and testing in runbot I don’t catch up the “issue” for me is working properly.

 

I will try to test the OCA PR to get in a defined user cases (we can write down) the difference.

 

Regards

Rafael

no, it might be built on top of my proposal though. I'm now exclusively 
talking about populating hr.attendance.overtime in a way that
 
overtime = (time recorded in hr.attendance records) - (expected working hours 
as per working calendar)
 
holds
