In this article, we will explain how to read your dashboard (or that of an employee).
When you go to your profile, you will find the employee dashboard. This dashboard gives you insights into your worked hours, leave, overtime, and absence.
Are you an Administrator? Then you can also view this dashboard for each employee via the HRM tab by clicking on the employee's name.
Below, we explain what you can see and how to interpret the data using an example dashboard.
Dashboard: Visual Overview of Your Hours
The dashboard provides a clear overview of how many hours you've logged and how these are categorized. If you work with contract hours, you will also see whether you've met your contractual hours.
Each color in the graph represents a specific type of hour:
Blue bar: Worked hours: These are the hours logged within your contracted hours.
Green bar: Leave hours: Hours logged on an activity that affects your leave balance, such as vacation or parental leave.
Purple bar: Overtime hours: Hours logged outside your contract on regular (non-leave) activities.
Orange bar: Absence hours: Hours logged on absence-related activities like sick leave or emergency leave.
💡 Tip: Hover over the graph with your mouse for a detailed breakdown of the hours per type.
Below the graph, you'll find a summary of your total leave, absence, and overtime hours.
Leave
Under the Leave tab, you'll see:
The number of leave hours you've accrued
The number of leave hours you've taken
Your current leave balance
You can switch between different types of leave (e.g. vacation or special leave) to view how each type has been accrued and deducted.
Absence
In the Absence tab, you can view your available absence balance. You can also check how much balance remains per absence type (such as sick leave or short-term leave).
This is useful if your organization tracks absence balances by specific categories.
Overtime
In the Overtime tab, you can see:
The amount of overtime you've built up
Any deductions or compensations of overtime
Note: Overtime is only tracked if your organization uses contracts in TimeChimp. If not, this tab will be empty.
Planning
In the Planning tab, you can view the projects or clients you are scheduled to work on.
You can view your planning by day, week, or month to see where you are expected. This gives you a clear view of your upcoming schedule.
