LunarFront — Small Business Management Platform

Domain Design: Personnel Management

Version 1.0  |  Draft



# 1. Overview

The Personnel domain manages employee records, time clock, time-off requests, and work schedules. This is foundational infrastructure — every other domain references employees (POS operators, technicians, instructors, drivers). This domain provides the employee entity and workforce management tools.

Personnel management is a licensed module (MOD-PERSONNEL). Without it, the platform still tracks basic user accounts for login and role-based access. The module adds time clock, scheduling, time-off, and labor reporting.



# 2. Core Concepts

## 2.1 Employee

An employee is a person who works for the company. They have a user account for system login and an employee record for HR/scheduling purposes. An employee can work at any location within the company — they are not locked to a single location.

- Linked to a `user` account for authentication
- Has a home location (primary work site) but can clock in at any location
- Roles: admin, manager, staff, technician, instructor
- An employee can hold multiple roles (e.g. a technician who also teaches lessons)
- Pay rate tracked for labor cost calculations (repair labor, lesson instructor pay)
- Employment status: active, inactive, terminated

## 2.2 Time Clock

Employees clock in and out to track hours worked. Clock entries record which location the employee is working at, supporting multi-location operations.

- Clock in/out via desktop app or web UI
- Location recorded at clock-in — employee may work at different locations on different days
- Break tracking — paid and unpaid breaks
- Overtime calculated based on configurable rules (weekly threshold, daily threshold)
- Clock entries editable by managers with audit trail

## 2.3 Schedules

Work schedules define when employees are expected to work. Schedules are per-location and per-week.

- Weekly recurring schedules with override capability for specific dates
- Shift-based — start time, end time, location, role
- Instructors have dual scheduling: lesson schedule (from Lessons domain) + store shift schedule
- Schedule conflicts detected — cannot schedule same employee at two locations simultaneously
- Published schedules visible to employees (future: via portal or mobile)

## 2.4 Time Off

Employees can request time off. Managers approve or deny. Approved time off blocks scheduling for those dates.

- Request types: vacation, sick, personal, unpaid
- Accrual tracking — configurable accrual rates per type
- Manager approval workflow with notification
- Approved time off appears on schedule as blocked
- Annual carryover rules configurable per type

## 3.5 time_off_request

Column | Type | Notes
id | uuid PK |

## 3.6 time_off_balance

# 4. Overtime Rules

Overtime configuration is per-company, stored in company settings.

Setting | Default | Notes
weekly_overtime_threshold | 40 | Hours per week before overtime kicks in
daily_overtime_threshold | null | Nullable — some states require daily overtime (e.g. California = 8 hrs)
overtime_multiplier | 1.5 | Pay multiplier for overtime hours
double_time_threshold | null | Nullable — hours per day before double time (e.g. California = 12 hrs)
double_time_multiplier | 2.0 | Pay multiplier for double time

Overtime is calculated at clock-out based on the current week's total hours. If daily thresholds are configured, both daily and weekly are evaluated and the higher overtime amount applies.



# 5. Key Workflows

## 5.1 Clock In / Out

- Employee opens desktop app or web UI
- Selects "Clock In" — system records current time, location, and employee
- On clock out, system records end time, calculates total hours and break time
- If total weekly hours exceed overtime threshold, overtime flagged
- Manager can edit clock entries with required reason — logged in audit trail

## 5.2 Schedule Creation

- Manager creates recurring schedule templates for each employee
- System generates concrete schedule entries for upcoming weeks
- Manager can override specific dates (e.g. swap shifts, add extra coverage)
- Instructor lesson schedule slots (from Lessons domain) display alongside store shifts for visibility
- Schedule conflicts flagged — same employee at two locations at the same time

## 5.3 Time Off Request

- Employee submits request specifying dates, type, and reason
- Manager receives notification
- Manager approves or denies with optional notes
- Approved time off deducts from employee's time_off_balance
- Schedule entries for approved dates are flagged or removed
- If employee is an instructor, lesson sessions for those dates can be auto-cancelled or flagged for makeup

## 5.4 Pay Period Reporting

- Manager selects date range for pay period
- System generates report: employee, regular hours, overtime hours, total hours
- Export to CSV for payroll processing (platform does not run payroll — exports data for external payroll service)
- Includes time-off hours taken by type



# 6. Integration with Other Domains

Domain | Integration
Lessons | Instructors are employees. Lesson schedule_slot.instructor_id references employee. Time off auto-flags affected lesson sessions.
Repairs | Technicians are employees. repair_ticket.assigned_technician_id references employee. Labor cost calculated from employee pay_rate.
Sales/POS | transaction.processed_by references employee. Drawer sessions linked to employee.
Delivery | delivery_event.driver_employee_id references employee.
Accounting | Labor costs from repair tickets use employee.pay_rate for margin calculation. Payroll export supports journal entry generation for labor expense.



# 7. Business Rules

- Employee must have unique email within company
- Clock entries cannot overlap — cannot be clocked in at two locations simultaneously
- Clock-out required before new clock-in (system auto-clocks out at midnight if forgotten — flagged for manager review)
- Time-off requests for past dates require manager approval
- Schedule recurring templates auto-generate entries 4 weeks ahead (configurable)
- Terminated employees retain all historical records (time clock, schedules, time off) — never deleted
- Employee pay_rate changes are effective immediately — historical clock entries retain the rate at time of clock-out
- Per-lesson instructors: pay tracked per lesson session attended, not via time clock



# 8. Reporting

Report | Description
Hours summary | Total regular + overtime hours per employee per period
Overtime report | Employees who hit overtime threshold — broken out by daily vs weekly
Time-off balances | Current accrued, used, and available days per employee per type
Schedule coverage | Shifts per location per day — identifies understaffed days
Clock edit audit | All manager edits to time clock entries with reasons
Labor cost by department | Hours * pay_rate grouped by role (technician, instructor, staff)
Attendance | Scheduled vs actual clock-in times — identifies chronic lateness
Payroll export | CSV export formatted for common payroll services (QuickBooks Payroll, Gusto, ADP)
