Overview

This module extends Odoo's standard attendance module with a powerful validation workflow. Employee check-ins and check-outs are automatically grouped into defined periods (e.g. monthly) and prepared for review, signature and approval.

The module supports automatic break calculation, flexible overtime rules (including flat-rate contracts) and transparent time tracking for office, homeoffice and absence days. It provides HR departments and managers with a clear overview of working time balances and prepares structured reports for payroll and documentation.

Attendance Validation

Attendance data is grouped into validation records per employee and period. Each validation clearly shows expected working hours, actual worked hours, overtime or deficits and linked leave records.

Warnings are displayed for missing entries, overlapping attendances or unusual time deviations. Individual days can be edited directly from the validation view using the integrated edit dialog.

Validation Overview

The validation list view gives HR managers a complete overview of all employee periods. Differences, leave allocations and current balances are visible at a glance.

Multiple records can be selected to perform bulk actions such as sending validations, updating data or exporting documents.

Attendance Editing

For each day inside a validation you can quickly review and correct the underlying attendances. The edit dialog allows you to add new lines, change workplaces and adjust check-in and check-out times without leaving the validation.

From the same view you can also add time off entries for that date. This makes it easy to fix missing punches, split working periods across multiple locations or register a leave directly while processing the validation.

Validation Signature

Employees are requested to digitally sign their attendance validation. Once signed, the document is stored as a PDF attachment on the record and forwarded to the responsible manager for approval.

Reports & exports

Each validation can be exported as an Excel report or PDF document. The reports contain a clear summary of time balances, leave usage and detailed per-day tracking information.

This makes the module ideal for payroll preparation, auditing and legal documentation requirements.

General Configuration

Company wide attendance behaviour can be configured in the settings. This includes automatic break insertion, validation scheduling and responsible users to be notified.

Employee Configuration

Attendance and overtime behaviour can be configured per employee inside the employee form. Special flat-rate rules allow defining included overtime hours and the calculation logic used during validation.

This makes it possible to handle different employee types, such as hourly paid workers and salaried employees with included overtime, within the same system.

Furthermore, the add-on adds another rights group that allows users to view and edit only their own attendances.
