1. Configuration of your contracts

Before assigning a contract to a resource, you must define the types of working time in your admin interface.

Administration > Global settings > Contract working time

Here you can create different working time labels and specify whether they correspond to full-time or part-time.

  • Creating labels: Create explicit labels (e.g., "Part-time 80%").

  • Contract type: For each label, specify if it is "Full-time" or "Part-time".


2. Resource record configuration

Once the global settings are defined, you must link each resource to their specific contract.

In a resource record > Administrative tab > Create a contract

Selecting working time

In the "Working time" field of the contract, select the option that matches the resource's situation.

Working time modalities

If you have selected a "Part-time" type, a modalities table appears:

  1. Daily entry: Indicate the expected working duration for each day of the week.

  2. Alternating weeks: You can distribute working time differently between even and odd weeks for more flexibility.

  3. Work unit: Specify if the resource logs time in days (value 1) or in hours (e.g., value 7).

Important:

The specific calendar configured here will automatically be visible in the Absences, Planning, and Resource Planner modules.

Understanding the daily work unit

The daily work units correspond to the quantity your resources must log to complete a workday.


Examples:

  • Daily work unit = 1 - the resource must log a total quantity of 1 to validate a full day (0.5d project + 0.5d training)

  • Daily work unit = 7 - the resource must log a total quantity of 7 to validate a full day (3h project + 2h meeting + 2h training)

The configuration of this daily work unit quantity is done:

  • By default in your Administration > Legal Agencies > "Information" tab of your agency

  • Per resource from the Configuration button > advanced configuration > Daily work unit


3. Impact of working time on timesheets

Resource record > Times tab

The contract configuration automates several calculations in the resource's Times tab.

  • Expected days calculation: The number of workdays due for the month is adjusted according to the contract modalities.

  • Completion percentage: The timesheet progress bar is based on the defined part-time.

  • Automatic filling: The pre-fill tool respects the worked and non-worked days of the contract.
