Summary

This module serves to provide admins with an estimate of how much the company is spending on each project in terms of salaries and claims.
​

In the project module, we have new features for a more detailed breakdown and estimate of each project in terms of salaries, timesheets, and claims.

Project features:

1. Time Sheets: For admins or employees to manually input the number of hours for each project

2. Project Calculations: The calculations of the cost breakdown of each project

3. Projects: Creation and management of projects

4. Projects Roles: For an indication of roles used during time sheets creation for each project

5. Overheads: Expenses incurred to support the project, which are not directly related to a specific product or service

6. Employees: Shows the list of employees and their assignment types (timesheet, attendance, or allocations)

7. Project Settings: To enable the project module in the employee portal

How to start using Projects Module

Step 1: Create Projects

To access the create projects page, head to the Projects tab > Projects > Click on the + New Project button on the top right.

Step 2: In order to create a new project, these are the compulsory (unless otherwise stated) fields:

  1. Name: The project name.

  2. Description (optional): A short description explaining what this project is about.

  3. Start Date: Project start date (can be backdated).

  4. End Date (optional): Project end date (can be backdated or left blank for projects with no end dates).

  5. Outlet/Branch: Indicate the outlet that this project is tagged to, in order for attendance logs to be automatically allocated to this project.

  6. Project Roles: Indicate roles tagged to this project

  7. Auto assign new employees to project: Check this box to allow new employees to be tagged to this project automatically

  8. Archive: Check this box when this project is no longer in use.

Step 3: Assign employees to projects

Step 4: Assign employees according to timesheet/attendance or allocations

Step 5: Input data from the assignment types

  • Timesheet: Create a timesheet for employees or allow employees to input their own timesheet

  • Attendance: Import attendance logs into timesheets

    (Skip this if you are not using the attendance module)

  • Allocations: Allocate employee's project allocations through salary

Step 6: Generate Payroll, to capture additional payments that have been added during payroll.

Step 7: Generate Project Calculations, to consolidate the information from all assignment types

Step 8: Generate Project Costing Report, to get a detailed breakdown of the project's cost
