Percentage Allocation Fill

The Percentage Allocation Fill plugin fills unregistered attendance time across several activities, split by weight. It generalises the Default Activity Fill plugin: a single activity at 100 % behaves identically to a default-activity fill.

When to use

Use this plugin when an employee’s clocked time should be distributed across more than one activity by a fixed ratio — for example, 60 % to one cost centre and 40 % to another — without them registering each entry manually.

The allocation activities and their weights come from the employee’s activity list.

Parameters

How it works

1. The plugin runs after deduction-style plugins (e.g. Lunch Deduction), so it splits what remains after the lunch has been subtracted.
2. It computes the unregistered gap (attendance − already-registered time) and splits it across the employee’s weighted allocations.
3. Weights are taken against a denominator of 100, not against the sum of weights: 60 + 40 fills the whole gap, while a lone 60 fills 60 % of the gap and leaves the rest unregistered.
4. With Cap at norm on, the total fill never pushes the day above its norm.

Examples

Split time 60/40 across two activities

1. On the employee’s activity list, give the two activities weights of 60 and 40
2. Add the Percentage Allocation Fill plugin to the work time policy
3. Their clocked time is then booked 60/40 across those activities

Fill only part of the attendance

Give the allocations weights that sum to less than 100 (e.g. a single 60) to leave the remainder unregistered for the employee to book manually.
