Examining reports

Adding missing employment contract

Tuntinetti informs, if employee doesn't have employment contract. Employment contract can be added in the Users tab. Users > (Select the right employee) >Employee contract history > "Add new contract period" button

Adding missing overtime assignment and tracking for total working hours

If employee contracts are up to date, Tuntinetti is able to check whether the employees have done overtime or not. If there has been overtime, and employee doesn't have overtime assignment, Tuntinetti will notify that about the employee's missing overtime assignments.

The notifications can be turned off in the Basic settings in the Reporting settings menu. Just select the option "Do not warn about the missing overtime assignments when browsing work time reports" active.

Overtime assignments can be given by clicking "Fill in the missing overtime assignments" link above the report.

1. Click on "Fill in the missing overtime assignments" link

2. Choose whether you want the overtime assignment to apply to the:

   1. employee's salary only

   2. invoice report only

   3. salary and to the invoice report

3. Choose overtime billing agreement

4. You can also change "Work time decomp." and "Additional info"

   1. From "Additional info" you can choose which compensations will be compensated as freetime.
5. Between "Work time decomp." and "Additional info" is a menu, from where you can choose "consider all hours until regular work day length" and/or "consider all of the period's working hours until regular work time".

6. Tuntinetti suggests automatically beginning and ending dates for the overtime assignments, according to the dates that employee has done overtime. Dates can also be changed, if needed.

7. Save changes

When the overtime assignment has been added, Tuntinetti will itemize the overtime hours according to the overtime assignment and labour agreement.

In Tuntinetti you will find the tracking for Working Hours Act in employees report summary. The  'Total working hours control' shows actual total working hours from the past four months as well as working hours week average during that time.

Editing reports

Managers can edit the data in the reports, if needed. Reports data can be modified by choosing either individual row with pen-icon in "Work description and expenses" or the whole report with "Edit this time report" link.

Adding timestamp

If needed, you can add timestamp manually with "Add timestamp" link. 

Travel bill

Travel bill can be downloaded from this window, with "Download travel bill" button.

Expenses

It is possible to make compensation entries for some projects. You can record expenses either among the work hours in "WORK DESCRIPTON AND EXPENSES" field or choose from selection list. You can open the "Expenses" window, by clicking "WORK DESCRIPTION AND EXPENSES" field. New expenses can be added, by pressing "Add compensation" button in the "Espenses" window. Select compensation item from the "Choose compensation type" menu. In that menu you can find all of the compensation types that can be added for the selected project. After you have entered all the compensations and information for them, you can just close the window and the data will be saved automatically.

Expenses can be written among the work hours, if the project has these expenses in use. If the expenses have been given short names like day or km, these short names are used to write the expenses straight amongst the work hours.

Expanses become visible on the "WORK DESCRIPTION AND EXPENSES" column and in the report itemization, after you save the changes with "Save changes" button.

Expenses can be activated in "Project wizard". More information about that in the user guide and instruction video Project wizard Organizational costs for the "Project wizard".

Depending on project's settings, notes regarding the project can be added in the "NOTES" text field. "Notes" field can be activated from "Field for additional information in use when logging for this project" menu in the "Reporting settings" section of the "Projects" tab.

Specifications

Possibility to set specifications in the time reports, can be switched on, if needed. These are related to manual work time compensation types in the labour agreements. Please contact customer service, if you have need for the specifications.

Adding project

New project, overtime leave, sick leave etc. can be added with "Add" link:

1. Select "Add" link
   1. "Select project" menu appears
2. Select project, or other option

4. Write work time in the "Work description and expenses" text field
5. Save changes with "Save changes and close" button

Sick leave

From here you can also add sick leave, if for instance employee is sick part of the day.

Sick leaves are also displayed on the report. If checkbox for sick leave is checked, it has been approved for labour agreement interpretation and vacation calculation. If it is unchecked, it is not valid. This means that for example there is no medical certificate or there is some other employment contract related explanation that makes the sick leave not valid.

Incorrect work hours

Registered work hours work chronologically in Tuntinetti.

For example: Saturday's work hours have been entered in one entry with the following times: "03:30-05:30 18:00-20:00, 05:30-12.00, 15:00-18:00" (The employee intended to record all hours to Saturday). This means, that employee has recorded 3:30-5:30 to Saturday morning, 18-20 to Saturday evening, chronologically continues next to Sunday morning 05:30-12 and to Sunday afternoon 15-18.

In which case, time report displays a warning: "Hours span long to the next day". Such entries should be corrected to chronological order (from the smaller time to the larger), to get it right.

Timestamps differing from the planned work shift

Stamped time will never lose planned data. If employee's timestamps deviate from the planned work time, time report shows the deviations from the plan. If necessary, they may be hidden by deselecting the "Show entry warnings also in downloadable prints" checkbox in the additional options.

Report itemization

Below the report is detailed itemization of the employee's work hours:

• Normal hours
• Sick leave compensation
• Midweek holiday compensation
• Number of working days
• Flextime saldo
• Annual leave
• Overtime
• Overtime saldo

"Labor agreement interpretations" additional feature must be enabled, so that Tuntinetti can calculate the itemization (Basic settings > Tuntinetti's paid features > "Labor agreement interpretations" checkbox). Overtime itemization also requires, that employee overtime assignments are up to date. Expenses during reporting period can also be found on the report itemization.

Modifying saldos

You can change the saldo, by pressing (edit) link. Set value here only if start saldo is wrong. Instead, if you intended to make cumulative changes to saldos, the best place to record deductions and additions so that a history of changes remains, is in Users/Employees -> 'Earned vacations, flex time and payments' -section.

Better instructions about activating annual leave, can be found in the Basic settings.

Profitability chart

If additional feature Profitability reports is enabled, profitability calculation and bar chart is displayed below the report. Profitability calculation is particularly useful, when company's profit comes from billable work. Profitability calculation is formed from employees' and projects billing and cost prices.

Report color explanations

Explanations for colors found in the reports can be opened by bringing the mouse pointer above the "Reported employee hours for the selected time period:" text at the start of the reports.

Multidimensional report

With a multidimensional report you can easily view for example the work hours of a unit. You can download a multidimensional report to your computer with the desired itemizations. You can download a multidimensional report with or without itemized workdays by clicking the icons in the top part of the page.

Selecting a time range

First you should select a time range. The multidimensional report will include the information of the given time range.

Selecting employees

Then you should select the desired employees in the selecttion windows.

Work hour ratio

With the work hour ratio which is located on the right side of a multidimensional report, you can see how work time is divided in the company across units, projects, customers, tasks and employees.

Multidimensional report's settings

You can change the multidimensional report's setting in the additional options.

You are able to leave out days which haven't got any work hours.

You can group the report by Project, Client, Task and/or Employee.

You can select statistics to be visible of valid work shifts or all work shifts.

The multidimensional report can include a total cost calculation. A cost calculation gives a clear view of the profitability.

The multidimensional report can also include a project budget.

Approve and Bill buttons

Finished report can be approved by pressing Approve button. Approving freezes hours, for example for salary calculations, so that the report can't be edited anymore. Hours and notes can be approved separately.

Clicking Approve button approves hours until that date. Approval can be cancelled simply by clicking Approved button.

Report can be marked as billed, by pressing Bill button. Bill buttons are displayed only if billing price (hourly price or price list) has been set for the customer or the project. More information about the pricing settings can be found from Projects and Customers tabs' demo videos (Creating a new project - video tutorial and Customers CRM - video tutorial) and instructions (Projects and Customers).

Workshift cycle

The week number in the brackets shows always the actual week number. Underlined day is the day on which the work time cycle begins. The length of the work time cycle can come from the labour agreement as such (can be e.g. a normal 1 week or e.g. 3 weeks, typical for the restaurant sector). The starting date for the work time cycle can be defined in the work time cycle settings. In addition, in the work time cycle settings, you can deviate from the e.g. 3 week setting and set that it is 2 weeks or even 26 weeks.

Work time cycle settings can be found in the:

• Basic settings (general, basic settings -instruction)
• Unit level (Units -instruction)
• Employee contract history: you can select a work time cycle group, differing from labour agreement and user's unit , for the selected employee (Employee settings -instruction)
• From the "Employment contract additional information" window, you can select a work time cycle group differing from labour agreement and user's unit, for the employment contract (Employee settings -instruction)

Assigning rights for time report browsing

Time reports for payroll can be browsed with limitations. This way you can set the salary amount to be not visible and the shift manager can check the time reports without being able to see the employees' salary amounts.

Employee should have supervisor rights in the desired unit's settings, so he or she can see the unit's other employees' work time reports. This can be done by adding the desired employee to the supervisor list in the selection window.

Automating time spent transitioning between projects in Tuntinetti

The time spent transitioning between projects can be automated in Tuntinetti as follows.

1.First, create a dedicated project for transitions and assign the desired employees to it:

2. After that, you can select the project for the unit under the 'Automatic standby or travel time cost center' section. Tuntinetti will choose this as the work project during times when nothing else is specified:

 3. If you wish to use automatic transition time, you need to specify in the 'Upper time limit for automatic standby or travel time cost center' field the duration of any single break that should not be counted as a transition under that unit:

4. With these settings, the transition will be automatically calculated as part of the employee's working hours when recording working time:

Tip! Hours logged under the transition project can be reviewed in bulk, for example, through the multidimensional report.

Rounding of the euro amount on a time report

It is possible to include the euro amount of salaries with the Gross pay information additional option.

Tuntinetti calculates the report's euro amounts using exact values of work hours, even though the hours are presented with two decimal places on the report. An exact amount means the following: for example 8 hours and 35 minutes is 8,58 hours. But technically it is 8 and 35/60 hours which is 8,583333... hours. This principle must be taken into account when doing your own calculations.

Example calculation

Employee's hourly salary is 10,50 euros and he has been working for 8 hours and 35 minutes.

The right way to calculate his salary is: 10,50 x (8 + (35/60)) = 90,125. Which can be rounded to 90,13 euros.

Flextime tracking

Flextime balance is visible in the time report's summary on two separate rows.

1. On the first row there is the yesterday's or the current day's balance. The day that is visible can be defined in the Company's basic information by selecting the Reporting settings' "Show today's flex balance in reports instead of yesterday's balance" option accordingly.
2. On the second row there is the total balance of the time range that is defined to the time report.

Daily flextime balance

Daily flextime balance can be turned visible by checking the "Elaborate daily flex hour and time bank change" check-box in the additional options.

Using flextime in time reporting

Flextime can be used easily in time reporting. Just select "Flextime" as the project and the software will automatically calculate the flextime balance deduction according to the time that is marked.

Paying flex saldo

You can pay flex saldo in the Users tab. Detailed instruction on how to manage earned vacations, flextime and payments can be found in the Earned vacations, flex time and payments.

Balance report

With balance reports you can keep track of employee's flextime balance. A balance report can be downloaded the same way as other reports:

1. Select a desired time range or a period.
2. Select the desired employees.
3. Download the balance report by clicking the Balance report -icon ().

The balance report also includes a tool for time tracking, which facilitates monitoring of employees' actual working hours (as required by the variable working hours examination obligation defined in the employment contract law).

The balance report includes a tab for 12-month weekly working hours, where the employee's weekly working hours are detailed separately.

Downloading reports
