User Working Time Models

This module describes the API endpoints for managing working time models. A working time model represents the expected working time for an employee, starting from a given date and following a specific pattern. The system compares actual logged time against these models for reporting and balance tracking.

Valid Attributes

Attribute	Description	Details
pattern	The pattern for the working time model	Must be set to weekly.
start_date	The date the model becomes effective	Must be set. Format: YYYY-MM-DD.
discarded_at	Time of removal (or null)	Cannot be set manually. Automatically set when deleted (soft-delete).
workdays
id	ID of the workday to update/delete	Must be set to update or delete an existing workday; if not set, a new workday will be created.
day_of_week	The day of the week represented by the workday	Must be set on creation, cannot be updated; must be between 0 (Monday) and 6 (Sunday)
seconds	The user’s target working time on the given day of week, in seconds	Must be set.
_delete	Indicator to delete the workday	Don’t send this parameter if you don’t want to delete the workday. Set it to true if you do.

Note

Only pattern and start_date are writable. All other fields are managed server-side.

Relationships

The following relationships can be included in the request using the include parameter:

URL Parameters

Parameter	Description
user_id	The ID of the user to create the working time model for

List

Response

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "c5df543a-3324-4a48-9d26-7b92eaf97e52",
      "type": "working_time_model",
      "attributes": {
        ...
      }
    },
    {
      ...
    }
  ]
}

This endpoint returns the user’s working time models.

HTTP Request

GET /api/v1/users/:user_id/working_time_models

Show

Response

{
  "data": {
    "id": "54e993e0-8088-4094-99ba-4d62303483ec",
    "type": "working_time_model",
    "attributes": {
      ...
    }
  }
}

This endpoint returns a working time model.

HTTP Request

GET /api/v1/users/:user_id/working_time_models/:working_time_model_id

Parameter	Description
user_id	The ID of the user
working_time_model	The ID of the working time model to return

Update

Use this endpoint to update an existing working time model and to create/update/delete the associated workdays.

Creating/updating/deleting the associated workdays works via a “pseudo-attribute” called workdays which can be included in the request body. It is expected to be an array of objects with fields as described in the “Valid Attributes” section.

Note

When creating a workday with a day_of_week that has been deleted from the working time model before, the old workday will be restored instead of a new one being created.

Endpoint

PUT /api/v1/users/:user_id/working_time_models/:working_time_model_id

URL Parameters

Parameter	Description
user_id	The ID of the user to update a working time model for
working_time_model_id	The ID of the working time model to update
