How to follow the modulation counter in the employee profile
From Profile > Modulation, you can see for each modulation period:
The contract dates associated with the period
The number of hours to be completed under the modulation period tied to the contract
The weekly maximum and minimum limits governed by the period
The cumulative deviation at the end of each week corresponds to the employee’s updated balance. It evolves weekly based on the hours actually validated.
This monitoring allows you to:
Verify the evolution of the cumulative deviation to stay as close as possible to the number of hours to be completed by the end of the period.
Anticipate high-activity and low-activity weeks over the period to properly plan your teams.
💡 Let’s review the cumulative target!
The cumulative target does not correspond to the employee’s contractual hours.
To calculate it, divide the total number of hours to be worked by the number of weeks in your period.
Example for 1607h to be worked in 2024 (leap year):
(*1607h ÷ 366 days) × 7 days = 30.73 → 30h44.
The cumulative target will increase by 30h44 each week, regardless of the number of hours actually worked by your employee that week. It is only an indication. 👍
How to follow the modulation counter in the schedule
In the weekly schedule, you’ll find:
Cumulative deviation at start of week: balance carried over from the previous week
Weekly target hours: the weekly goal to be achieved
Counted hours: actual work + absences (excluding rest)
Cumulative deviation at end of week: balance updated after the week
Period counter: total counted hours since the start of the modulation period
How to follow the modulation counter in the payroll report
From Reports > select a period > Modulation tab:
You will see:
Overall progression: ratio of counted hours to period target
Counted hours: total hours actually worked
Absence hours counted: absences included in modulation (leave, illness, etc.)
Cumulative deviation to date: difference between expected hours and those worked
Positive = employee above target
Negative = employee below target
Hours above the weekly ceiling: only hours exceeding the fixed upper threshold
💡 Special cases:
Contract amendment: displayed on one line, continuous balance.
New contract: a new line is created, counter reset to zero.
Entry/exit mid-period: the date is shown under the cumulative deviation.
