Agreements

Agreements is where collective agreements (tariffavtaler) and local agreements become something the system can compute with. The agreement decides what counts as overtime, which supplements are triggered, and what the hours land on when a period is settled.

The rules are data. You edit parameters, validity and priority here — but what a rule kind means is fixed in the built-in kinds. So you can adjust rates and thresholds without anyone writing code, and without the semantics drifting.

The agreement itself

An agreement is either Tariff or Local, has a Name, and may point at a Parent agreement. Notes / source is where to record where the provision comes from — the protocol, the clause, the date — so whoever reads the rules in two years knows their origin.

Agreements reach people through work types. The list shows how many work types use an agreement and how many rules it holds. If it is in use, or is a parent to another, it has to be detached before it can be deleted.

Rules

Add rule asks for a Rule kind, a Label, Parameters (JSON), Valid from / Valid to and a Priority. The parameters are validated against the kind’s schema on save, so a rule that does not fit is refused with a note about what is wrong.

Rules fall into two groups. Pay rules classify time and money — banded overtime thresholds, time-window and day-type supplements, minimum-call credit, double performances, the extra hour on 1 and 17 May. Staffing guardrails (warnings) compute no pay but do speak up: season rehearsal quota, daily rehearsal limit, rehearsal-free Saturdays.

An agreement with no rules is not broken — it simply classifies ordinary time only.

For overtime thresholds you set Overtime bands: each band covers overtime from its offset until the next band begins. So 0:00 → OT 50 % with 4:00 → OT 100 % means 50 % for the first four overtime hours, and 100 % after that.

Inheriting from a parent

A local agreement pointing at a collective one inherits that agreement’s rules and lays its own over the top.

Overriding happens per rule kind, not per rule

If the local agreement holds one rule of a kind, all of the parent’s rules of that kind fall away — not just the one that resembles it. To adjust a single band in an inherited overtime threshold, the whole rule kind has to be set up again in the local agreement.

The 5.8 arrangement

The 5.8 arrangement (supplements traded for leave) field switches off time-window and day-type supplements for the whole agreement. This is LO § 3.3.8: those supplements have been traded for two extra weeks of leave, and those weeks are granted through the vacation policy and leave ledger instead.

The suppression happens at classification. The rules themselves stay as they are, so switching the arrangement back off makes them work as before.

Validity is evaluated per day

The validity window sits on each individual rule, and every day is classified against the rules that applied on that day. A period crossing a tariff revision therefore comes out right on both sides — you do not need to split the period.
