Hello lovely Community!
Do you have different subsidiaries around the world?
There are a lot of different aspects in the labor law of each country which must be obeyed.
One of our customers shared an example from their Spanish subsidiary:
According to labor law, our full-time employees in Spain have to work 1780 hours per year.
According to the weekly schedule, this means 8 hours per day in a 5-day week for the months of January to July and September to December. In August, the working hours are 6.5 hours, also in a 5-day week.Thus, an employee who takes vacation in August works more hours in the annual work time account (11 months x 8 hours) than one who takes vacation in July (10 months x 8 hours + 1 month x 6.5).
Previously, the "over hours” worked there were compensated with the Friday afternoons off. In principle, on some Fridays only 5 hours are worked instead of the usual 8 hours in order not to exceed the limit of 1780 hours.
Thus, the entitlement to one of these "compensatory Friday afternoons" differs and depends on the date (August or rest of the year) of the vacation taken.
Who has a similar problem and found a solution for it or can someone give me a hint how we can map these requirements without much manual rework if possible?
For the weekly working time model, I would store 32.5 hours with Mon-Fri 6.5 hours each for August and a total of 40 hours with 8 hours /week (Mon-Fri) for all other months.
In the case of the above example the creation of different work schedules seems to be the best solution.
How do you manage the different requirements in the different countries?
Looking forward to your ideas!
Best,
