In HoorayHR you can easily keep track of your hours for the Temporary Emergency Bridging Measure for Sustained Employment and/or the reduction in working hours. Apart from that, you can also easily create monthly overviews of the hours worked so you can use this as proof when needed.

Tracking hours worked

Employees can log their cut hours by making a leave request. For the Temporary Emergency Bridging Measure for Sustained Employment and/or the reduction in working hours, the employee has to fill out the following:

  1. Optional: select an employee (when you’re the administrator or team leader logging hours for an employee).

  2. Select the category “reduction in working hours/NOW”.

  3. Select the duration.

  4. The annual leave allowance can now not be charged for the requested hours.

  5. Send your request to the team leader/administrator for approval.

Approving requests for reduction in working hours/NOW.

Team leaders and administrator will get notified by your request just like for a regular leave request. You can approve it from your dashboard. The dashboard shows the leave request is for 0 hours. That’s correct because for the reduction of working hours/NOW it’s not about leave but just about logging these hours. You can view the amount of logged time in the leave overview.

Creating monthly overviews of logged hours

You might need a monthly overview of the logged hours as evidence for the Temporary Emergency Bridging Measure for Sustained Employment and/or the reduction in working hours.

You can just filter by month in the leave overview panel.

You can do this as follows:

  1. Select “Month” in the filter (or any other period).

  2. Use the “reduction of working hours/NOW” filter in the table.

  3. Below the table you’ll see the number of hours logged for the hours that were cut.
