# Employee Overview

The Employee overview shows registered hours and absence for one employee during a selected period. If your organization uses Plan, the overview also shows planned time and the difference between planned time, hours worked, and absence.

## What does the Employee overview show?

The Employee overview gives you a complete overview of hours and absence for a selected employee and period.

You can use the overview to check:

-   registered hours
-   registered absence
-   totals by time category
-   hours and absence by date
-   planned time, if your organization uses Plan
-   the difference between planned time, hours worked, and absence

## How to open the Employee overview

You can find the overview under **Quickview > Employee overview**.

1.  Select the employee.
2.  Select a period, for example:
3.  -   this week
    -   this month
    -   this year
4.  Use the arrows to the left of the period to move forwards or backwards.

When you use the arrows, you move one week, one month, or one year at a time. This depends on the period you selected.

## What do you see in the overview?

Once you have selected an employee and a period, you will see an overview of the registered hours and absence during that period.

At the top, you will see a summary of the totals for each time category for the entire period.

Below the summary, a table shows hours and absence by date.

## If your organization uses Plan

If your organization uses the Plan module, the Employee overview also shows:

-   planned time by date
-   the difference between hours worked, absence, and planned time

The difference is calculated as follows:

**Hours worked + absence − planned time = difference**

The overview only shows dates where there is:

-   registered hours
-   registered absence
-   planned working hours

### If your organization does not use Plan

If your organization does not use the Plan module, the Employee overview shows hours and absence by date for the selected period.

Only dates defined as normal working time under **Client settings > Absence** are shown.

For example, this may include Monday to Friday, but not public holidays.

## Tips for searching and filtering

You can search for employees by entering part of their name.

You can also use filters to view employees who belong to:

-   a specific department
-   a specific project
