🎯 How to exclude target hours on holidays in haddock HR

🧭 What are target hours?

Target hours in haddock HR are the theoretical hours a person should work according to their contract.

haddock HR calculates them automatically from the following data:

• The hours per week set in the contract.
• The days of the week marked as working days.

This calculation serves as a reference to compare against the hours actually planned and detect possible deviations (either above or below).

🚫 Why exclude them on holidays?

If a person has a weekly schedule of, for example, 40 hours spread from Monday to Friday, but one of those days is a holiday, you may not want those hours to still be required that day.

To avoid that, you can activate an option in their contract that tells haddock HR not to count target hours on holidays.

📄 Steps to configure this option

1. Access the contracts

• Go to the left side menu and open Rules > Contracts.
• Find the contract for the person you want to modify.
• Click ✏️ Edit.

2. Modify worked hours

• Go to the Worked hours tab.
• Turn on the option “Do not add target hours on holidays”.

3. Save the changes

Click Save.

From now on, haddock HR will stop counting target hours on days marked as holidays in the calendar.
