Skill: Odoo Attendance

This skill provides the agent with functional expertise in Odoo's Attendance module, covering check-in/out logs, working hour verification, and overtime management.

Core Mandates

1. Attendance Lifecycle

• Record (hr.attendance): A simple log with a check_in and optional check_out datetime.
• Open Sessions: An employee can only have ONE record with an empty check_out at any time. This represents a currently "Checked In" status.
• Mandate: Always verify the attendance_state on the hr.employee record before attempting to create a new check-in or update a check-out.

2. Overtime & Verification

• Worked Hours: Automatically calculated as the difference between check_in and check_out.
• Expected Hours: Pulled from the employee's Working Schedule (resource.calendar) via their contract.
• Overtime: Calculated as Worked Hours - Expected Hours. The agent should check overtime_status to see if extra hours require manager approval.

3. Kiosk Mode & Security

• Authentication: In Kiosk mode, employees use a pin or barcode (on the hr.employee model) to authenticate.
• Data Integrity: Mandate that agents do not manually create overlapping attendance records, as this will break Odoo's internal hour reporting.

4. Search Workflow

1. Status Check: Search hr.employee to find the current attendance_state.
2. Log Review: Query hr.attendance filtered by employee_id and check_in date range.
3. Overtime Audit: Check the total_overtime computed field on the employee record for a historical summary.
