# Humans Resources

Important

Documentation

The human resources module was developed by an external contributor SALTO CONSULTING. The explanations below have been taken from the instructions, provided in French only, with the module. * French documentation on the implementation of regulated absences is available on the download page.

The HR module was created in order to be easily adapted to French law, but it can be fully parameterized according to the rights of any country.

This section allows to manage the society’s Humans Resources.

This system comes in addition to the standards of the management of absences.

Used to manage absences that must be validated, controlled and have values to be regulated according to French law.

Start to define the:

- Employee and the manager

- Leaves types

- Employment contract type

You can choose the leave entitlement standard for each type of contract. The employee may reserve periods of leave of absence according to his rights.

you will be able to manage:

- The quantities acquired over a period of time.

- The period of validity of a quantity of absence.

- The possibility to take earlier absences over the period being acquired.

- The number of days before and after which the absence request can be made.

- Define specific acquisition rules.

- validate or reject an absence request.

Note

A project dedicated to these regulated absences is created and makes it possible to store the requested days of absence as planned time and the days of absence validated as working time thus making it possible to integrate these absences in the planning.

Note

The calculation of the number of days represented by absence is done on the basis of working days.

The working days are defined in Global Parameters and calendar associated with employee: holidays, non-working days.

## Environmental parameters

The properties below is visible only when the HR module is enabled.

Employee

An employee is a Resource whose property “is an employee” is checked in the screen resources.

Once the resources are registered as employees, you assign them to an absence manager.

This same manager will be able to manage his employees from the employees screen.

The employee can see the person who manages his leave periods.

Each time an employee is defined, a default contract is automatically created on the entry date of the resource if it is filled in.

If the date is not specified, the current date on creation is retrieved.

Important

A calculation error may occur if the entry date is not entered. In this case, on the resource screen:

1. uncheck the box is an employee,

2. fill in the date of entry,

3. save,

4. check again is an employee.

The calculation of the rights will then be reset with the new date.

Employee manager

A manager is a resource whose properties “is an employee” and “is absence manager” are checked.

The management of an employee is dated, which allows to change manager or temporarily delegate management to another manager (absences).

Box “is an employee” and “is manager of leaves” is checked

A manager must be an employee.

An employee manager can make absence requests in lieu of employees.

He can validate or reject employee absentee requests that he manages.

Important

The absence manager manages the absences of the employees attached to him. He does not have access to the module settings. He does not have an administrator role.

Manager Screen

Leave system Administrator

He is the administrator of the Leave System. He will define Leave Types, Contract Types, …

In order to be able to manage and configure the human resources module after its installation, you must access the global parameters.

A special additional HR section allows you to define the administrator of absences and regulated rights.

If an employee does not have a manager, the administrator of the Regulated absence module acts as manager.

The administrator is obligatorily a leave manager

Warning

When a resource is no longer “used”, all the elements of the Regulated absence module are deleted by the module:

- Assignments to activities associated with type of absence

- Time spent generated following validated absence requests

- Planned times generated due to absence requests not yet validated

- Absence requests

- Acquired rights

- Contracts

- Links with his managers

### Leaves Dashboard

A dashboard is available to absence managers

Leaves dashboard

The filter bar allows you to filter the information presented in the dashboard

Filter bar

Leaves Calendar displays informations based on filters applied by managed employee

The tells you that the request was made late

You can export the calendar into Excel format

Synthesis

The synthesis is also displayed according to the filters selected beforehand,

and gives the number of days remaining to be taken by type of leave and managed employees

Leave period to process

In this section, appears the list of absences to be processed, that is to say under the “recorded” status

#### Leaves types

This part allows you to create the types of absences regulated.

A corresponding activity (= name of absence type) is created on the project dedicated to absences management.

All employees (resource registered as employee) are assigned to this activity

Leaves types screen

- You can choose the workflow that will be attached to human resources

- you can defined who received an internal alert or an email on the creation, the update, the delete and/or the treatment of the leaves

More detail about Contractual values, see Earned rights

## Employment contract type

This section allows you to create the different contracts that are in effect in your company

The types of contracts allow to have rules of acquisition of different regulated absences according to the contract of employment of an employee

You can only have one type of default contract

Note

example in France

- Executive contract = No acquisition rule

- Full-time frame contract = RTT

- Part time frame contract = No RTT

- etc.

Parameters for earned leave rights

- In this section you can define which types of regulated absences will be attached to this type of contract.

- If you have created several types of regulated absences and attached them to all your contracts (check box on default or on everything), these types will be visible in this section.

If you are missing types of absences, you can create them from this screen:

- Click on the button

- A pop up opens and proposes to fill in the same fields as on the screen of the types of regulated absences

Configuration of special leave rights

Special acquisition rules are rules that can not be expressed with the values of the standard acquisition rules

Special leaves rights

custom earned rules:

Define the special acquisition rule based on the attribute values of a ProjeQtOr entity.

This rule follows the vocabulary of the SQL language

this clause follows the vocabulary of the SQL language

Important

for help with the SQL functions you can use, click on the section bar help on clause input

A new part appears and proposes drop-down menus with prerecorded SQL queries

Quantity

Number of additional acquired days calculated following the application of the special acquisition rule

This rule follows the vocabulary of the SQL language

Leave type

## Employment contract end reason

Allows you to record the different types of end of contract.

Note

Why end a contract?

- Resignation

- Change of the status (non managment -> management)

- Change of the quotity (100% -> 80%)

- Going to retire…

These different reasons may lead to changes in the rules governing the acquisition of the rights of absence.

Leaves rights earned

Regulated leaves parameters

The regulation of absences is based on the rights to take absences acquired over a given period.

It is therefore based on values to be given to attributes of regulation according to the type of absence (ex: Paid leave, RTT, sick leave, legal leave, etc.), and the type of contract associated with the employee (Ex: Full time, Part time).

General acquisition of rights

When you create a Employment contract type, you have several contractual values to fill in.

Contractual values for the leaves type

Warning

Check box “On default” and “on everything”

- If you check on “default” the entered values will be reflected on the default contract type only.

- If you check on “all” the entered values will be on all contract types.

- These values can not be changed after they are saved.

For any change, the creation of a new type of absence is necessary.

You can then search for the appropriate resources for an activity at a given time for the skill of your choice.

### Skills

Record the different skills that you find in your field of activity.

Skill management screen

Skills can be split into sub-skills without level limitation.

The “display the structure” button allows you to display the SBS (skill Breakdown Structure) of the selected skill with an indentation of the sub-skills for better visibility.

SBS - Skill breakdown structure

### Skills level

The Skill Levels screen allows you to save levels for each skill.

For example beginner, average, good, expert…

Skill level screen

You then define for each of the resources the skills and the level associated with it.

You can select multiple different skills from the drop-down list using the control or shift keys.

An icon can be associated with the skill level. ProjeQtOr has provided icons for a maximum of 4 levels.

You can create your own icons and place them in www\projeqtorVX.xx\view\icons.

Skills resources

When skills and skill levels are defined, you can associate them with your resources.

Resources screen with several skills and skill levels

Resources with skills will appear on the skill search screen.

### Hierarchical skill

On this screen you see all the skills and their hierarchy. This is the complete structure of the structure for all skills combined.

You can move and rearrange them using the handles in front of the names.

The SBS (skill breakdown structure) breakdown indices are dynamic and will be modified according to the ascending order they occupy.

Hierarchical skill screen

### Search by skill and availability

When you need a particular skill over a period of time, the skill search screen displays all the resources.

Numerous filters will allow you to find the ideal resource based on the needs of the tasks to be carried out.

#### Filters

Skill et level

Filters on search by skill screen

Select the skill you need. skill level is not mandatory but useful for more precision.

An initial selection is offered to you by providing only the skill.

You can rank the results obtained based on relevance and availability or globally by taking these two criteria into account.

Sorting will be done for each skill line.

Sort according to your needs

Selecting a skill level helps narrow down the list to more relevant results.

However, even if you choose a specific level, resources with the same skill but a different level might still appear.

This gives you alternatives in case the ideal resource isn’t available during the required time period.

If you only want to see resources with the exact skill and level you selected, check the “Strictly limit to the specified level” box.

Dates and periods

The start and end dates are pre-filled and correspond to the current date for a period of one month.

If you choose a particular project, then the validated dates of the project are retrieved.

The corresponding resources are displayed and indicate their availability over the periods entered.

Click on to assign a resource to the project of your choice.

Click on to modify the assignment of the resource on the project.

Search by skill screen

Tip

The calculation of the relevance rate takes into account the resource parameters (FTE, planning, multi-project, etc.) and the level of skill requested.

The relevance rate is defined using a simple calculation. Availability rate x competence rate / 100.

#### Availability

You can view resource availability for a given skill in different ways.

Globally over the requested period :

Skill global availability

Per week over the requested period :

Skill weekly availability

Monthly over the requested period :

Skill monthly availability
