Categorized hours let you automatically identify which worked hours belong to each type (overtime, night hours, weekend or holiday hours) based on the rules you define. Once configured, the results show up in the time tracking reports.

• Each hour type (for example, overtime at 50%) is created with a two-step wizard. In the first step you define how it is identified and from when it is calculated.

  1. Go to admin.humand.co and open Attendance Control → General configuration.
  2. Click Categorized hours settings.
  3. Click + Categorize hours.
  4. Complete the general data and click Continue.
  

  Field	Description
  Hour type name	Identifies this hour type in reports and settings. For example: Overtime at 50%.
  Description	Explains which hours it includes. For example: Hours over 8 per day.
  Effective date	From this date on, Humand calculates this hour type for the assigned collaborators.

  

• Rules define when this hour type is detected. It is enough for one rule to be met and, within each rule, all conditions must be met, in the order you place them.

  1. In the Rules step, click Add condition.
  2. Choose the condition type and complete its values.
  3. Click Save condition.

  Condition type	When it triggers
  Hours worked	Based on the hours worked in a period. For example, more than the scheduled hours, or more than 8 hours in a day.
  Specific days and times	Only on certain days or during a specific time slot. For example, hours worked on weekends or between 22:00 and 06:00.

  

  With Hours worked, only the hours above the limit are categorized. If the limit is 8h and the collaborator works 10h, 2h are categorized.

  

  To combine criteria, use the buttons below the rule:

  Button	What it does
  Add condition (AND)	Adds another condition to the same rule. All of them must be met.
  Add alternative rule (OR)	Creates another rule. It is enough for one of the rules to be met.

  

• The tolerance is a minimum daily threshold: detected hours only count from that amount of time onwards. This prevents a few extra minutes from generating categorized hours. Without a tolerance, every detected hour is counted.

  1. In the Tolerance (optional) section, click Add tolerance.
  2. In Count hours from, enter the hours and minutes of the daily minimum. For example, 0 hours and 30 minutes.
  3. Under Once the tolerance is reached, choose one of the two options.
  4. Click Add tolerance and then Save to finish.
  

  Option	What is counted
  Count all hours	Hours within the tolerance are counted too.
  Count only the excess	Only the hours beyond the tolerance are counted.

  Example with a 30-minute tolerance on overtime:

  Overtime for the day	Count all hours	Count only the excess
  20 min	0 min	0 min
  50 min	50 min	20 min
  2 h	2 h	1 h 30 min

  

  The tolerance applies per day: it does not accumulate per week or month. Adding, editing or removing it recalculates hours from the hour type's effective date, except for those that go through approval.

With clear rules and a tolerance adjusted to your operation, categorized hours are calculated on their own and time tracking reports show only what applies.
