Employment Info

There are three different types of employment in FlexiServer, which are Permanent Full-time, Permanent Part-time and Casual workers.

  • Permanent Employee (including permanent full-time and permanent part-time)

    • Expected hours per week

      Here you can specify how many hours this employee is suppose to work every week. This number can help the system to determine if this employee worked enough hours during the week. If you select Default Full-time, then the default work hours per week in company settings will be applied to this employee.

    • Work Days

      Expected work days - select this to specify on which days in a week the employee is suppose to work
      Works flexible days - select this if the employee works flexible days in a week.

  • Casual Employment

    Casual employees work on flexible days and have no regular weekly work hours limit.

Work Hours

  • Strict Hours Formula

    If this option is ticked, the system will use strict work hours calculation toward this employee. It means his/her work hours will be strictly accumulated from the time he/she actually worked in front of computer. Only the time there are human actions on the computer will be counted toward their work hours. No human action time will be added up as breaks.

    If this option is unticked, then the system will use a more flexible calculation formula. The work hours will be:
    Last active time - first logon time - lunch break (if you ticked "Takes lunch break")

  • Takes Lunch Break

    If this box is ticked, the system will exclude lunch break time from users' work hours
    Lunch time taken is dynamically speculated according to "Lunch Start Time" and "Lunch Duration" you specify here. The more close the "Lunch Start Time" and "Lunch Duration" are to the employee's break taken, the more likely the break is a lunch break.
    If you leave these two input fields blank, then the company-width setting "Normal Break" will be applied here.

Prohibited

  • Allow Normally Prohibited Programs for this User

    If this option is ticked, the system's Prohibited Programs configuration will not apply to this employee.

  • Allowed Sites

    If any webpage is entered, then it would be allowed for the user even if the system's Prohibited Sites configuration says otherwise.
