1. Configuration of Your Contracts

Before assigning a contract to a resource, you need to define the types of working time in your administration 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, indicate whether it is "Full-time" or "Part-time".


2. Configuration of the Resource Record

Once the global settings are defined, you must associate the correct "Working time" on the HR contract of your resources.

In a resource record > Administrative tab > Create a contract

Selecting the working time

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

Working time arrangements

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

  • Activity rate: Indicate the activity rate of your part-time resource, which allows calculation of the percentage salary variation between contracts.

  • Typical week: Indicate the expected working duration for each day of the week. Boond reminds you of the resource's daily work unit (example: 1 if declared in days, 7 if declared in hours)

  • Alternating weeks: If needed, by enabling the "Distribution of working time on even/odd weeks" option, you can distribute working time differently on even/odd weeks for greater flexibility.

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 enter to complete a working day.


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.

  • Calculation of expected days: The number of working days due for the month is adjusted according to the contract arrangements.

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

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

  • A "Total expected" line is displayed on your table to effectively track and control the number of expected daily work units for each day.
