Advance HR Settings

Overview

Why it matters: Many Advance HR behaviours (where hours come from, how OT is derived, whether task timers appear) are controlled once for the whole company. Putting them under Settings avoids scattering critical switches across many menus and keeps environments (test vs production) comparable.

What this covers: This app block holds defaults for dashboard appearance, optional working-day assumptions, total and OT hours count methods, full/half day thresholds, auto OT, fractional day counting, and often project task timer and validation options. The same ideas appear in HR-focused docs—here they are the system-wide source of truth.

Coordinate changes with payroll before go-live; mid-month changes affect live payslips.

Where to open

Go to Settings and open the Advance HR application block. You need configuration rights. Some options overlap with topics on Timesheets & Attendance Settings—this page lists the full set typically found in the product.

General & dashboard

• Dashboard icon version: Visual style for activity dashboard icons.
• Total working days: Optional default for monthly working-day assumptions where used.

Hours & payroll input

• Total hours count method: Timesheet, attendance, or manual—same idea as HR settings.
• OT hours count method: Source for overtime hours.
• Working hours per day, full/half day hours: Thresholds for day splits.
• Enable auto OT count: Add hours beyond thresholds automatically when enabled.
• Fractional day count: Use hours ÷ working hours per day instead of whole days only, when offered.

Projects & tasks

Settings may include task timer (start/stop on project tasks) and requiring deadline / allocated hours when logging time. These tie to Project Tasks & Timesheet Finish.

Tips

• Change global hour methods in a maintenance window—mid-cycle changes affect payslips.
• Document your choices in internal runbooks so payroll and IT stay aligned.
