Auto Lunch Attendance
Automatically clock employees out for lunch and back in again — zero manual effort, fully configurable per company.
How It Works
Employee Clocks In
Employee checks in as normal through any Odoo channel (Kiosk, Portal, Mobile).
Cron Monitors Hours
A scheduled job runs every 5 minutes and tracks each employee's continuous work time.
Lunch Break Triggered
Once the configured threshold is reached (e.g. 4 h), the employee is automatically clocked out.
Auto Clock Back In
After the configured break duration (e.g. 1 h) the employee is automatically clocked back in.
Respects Leave & Schedule
Leaves and working schedules are checked — no action taken during absences or off-hours.
Key Features
Fully Configurable
Set the work-hours threshold and lunch duration per company in the HR Settings page.
Scheduled Cron
Runs automatically every 5 minutes — no admin interaction required after initial setup.
Leave Aware
Checks approved leaves before acting — employees on leave are never touched.
Schedule Aware
Respects each employee's resource calendar — no action outside working hours.
Clean Audit Trail
Auto-generated attendance records are clearly distinguishable from manual entries.
Multi-Company
Each company can have different lunch rules — perfect for multi-entity Odoo instances.
