Understanding annual smoothing counters for your employee

Once the smoothing period is created, a tracking counter becomes accessible in both the planning and the employee's profile.

In the profile

Go to the employee's profile > “Modulation” section to view all balancing periods, whether past, ongoing, or planned.

For each period, you can access:

  • Contract dates associated with the balancing period.

  • Initial balance, if an adjustment was entered during the creation of the period.

  • A reminder of the balancing period dates.

Cumulative difference at the end of the current week represents the employee’s balance at the end of the current week. It updates weekly based on the hours actually validated and is calculated as the difference between the contractual hours and the sum of worked hours and absences (excluding weekly rest and occasional unavailability).

Weekly tracking allows you to monitor the evolution of this balance week by week:

  • Contractual weekly hours: This value, which may change with contract amendments, is essential for calculating the difference.

  • Hours taken into account: The total of worked hours and absences during the week.

  • Cumulative difference: The difference between hours taken into account and contractual hours at the end of the week. This difference is added to or subtracted from the previous balance to calculate the total balance.

Example for a 39-hour/week contract:

In the planning

  • Cumulative difference at the start of the week reflects the balance from the previous week before incorporating the hours of the current week.

  • Hours taken into account includes worked hours and absences (excluding weekly rest and occasional unavailability) for the week in question.

  • Cumulative difference at the end of the week reflects the adjusted balance after accounting for the current week’s hours.

  • The counter over the period aggregates all hours taken into account since the start of the balancing period or, for employees starting mid-period, from the beginning of their contract.

Examples for a 35-hour/week contract:
