Imagine a firm with employees in several teams; some are
working on the field and the others work in the main office. Office employees come
to work around eight to nine, while the field workers start way earlier at 6 in
the morning. One of the top technicians is currently working abroad helping a
big project come through. Oh yes, and the manager has no limitation on when he
works.
Covering this kind of organization with All
Hours calculation rules seems a bit of a nightmare. Having rules set on the
company level you had to make a compromise among all the different kinds of working
time.
To overcome this limitation we made the
rule assignments more flexible. You may assign rules on company, team or user
level. The company level is used for most general rule settings while the team
and user levels are used for some specific fine tuning of the calculation
rules. Each time the system selects which rule to use it goes from bottom up
meaning that the rules set on user level override those set on team or company
level.
