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 indicate whether they correspond to full-time or part-time.

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

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


2. Resource Record Configuration

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

In a resource record > Administrative tab > Create a contract

Selecting Working Time

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

Working Time Modalities

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

  • Activity rate: Indicate the activity rate of your part-time resource; it allows you to calculate the percentage of 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 activating the "Distribution of working time over even/odd weeks" option, you can distribute working time differently over even and odd weeks for more 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 to be entered by your resources 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

  • By 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 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.

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