Go to Settings > Location & schedules > your location > Modulation tab :
Click on “Create a Period”
Select the calculation mode “Modulation”
Choose the dates for your reference period: On Combo, your period can range from a minimum of 4 weeks to a maximum of 3 years.
Enter the annual working hours target: By default, 1607 hours corresponds to a 35-hour workweek for a full year. This value automatically adjusts based on each employee’s weekly working hours.
If your reference period does not strictly cover January 1 to December 31, the hours will be prorated based on the specified period.
Set upper and lower limits for full-time (in hours or percentage) and part-time employees (in percentage):
Hours exceeding the upper limit are recorded as overtime (or additional hours) during the week concerned.
Hours below the lower limit are accounted for in the modulation.
Select the teams to be modulated.
Enable employee-level customization if needed:
Exclude certain employees from modulation.
Enter a carryover value in “Initial Balance.”
Customize the period dates (e.g., for a new employee starting modulation next month).
Click on “Create” to save.
If you apply modulation to only one team, it will not be possible to use smoothing or a different modulation period for other teams within the same establishment.
How are the 1607 hours calculated?
Over the course of a year, there are 137 non-working days:
104 weekend days (2 days of rest per week over 52 weeks)
25 annual leave days
8 public holidays
This leaves 228 working days (365 days - 137 non-working days).
With a standard workday of 7 hours, this totals 1596 hours (228 x 7). This value is rounded up to 1600 hours.
Adding the 7-hour solidarity day, we reach a total of 1607 hours!
🎉 And that's it! Your reference period is set up!
