You’re juggling schedules and looking for the method that best fits to manage your team’s hours in Combo?
Between compensatory rest, annual averaging, or modulation, it can sometimes be hard to find your way. Each option lets you adjust work-time based on your activity, but they meet different needs.
Compensatory Rest: for recovering extra hours
When an employee works overtime, you can convert those hours into rest rather than paying them. This increases their compensatory rest balance.
Ideal if overtime is occasional, without annualized scheduling logic.
Annual Averaging: to smooth out activity variations
Annual averaging allows you to track week-to-week deviations between actual hours worked and contract hours. These deviations are accumulated over the year, then adjusted at the end of the period.
Useful in case of seasonal peaks in activity, without specific legal formalities.
Modulation: to plan within a legal framework
Modulation is a work-time organization method regulated by a collective agreement (sector branch, company, or workplace agreement). It allows variation in weekly hours (with minimum and maximum limits) over a defined period, with the goal of reaching a total number of hours to be worked.
Perfect if your activity fluctuates strongly with seasons and you have an agreement in place.
