• Supports any reporting period. It can be a week or several months.
• Includes total time per day. See an example.

• It doesn't support national holidays.
• Specific headers are required. See the next section.
• Requires Node.js v12+.

📌 CSV Requirements

CSV reports should include at least the following data:

• "Employee?": whether they are employees or not.
• "First Name": the employees' first names.
• "Last Name": the employees' last names.
• "Date": the employees' date entries from Harvest.
• "Hours": the employees' hours entries from Harvest.

Please make sure your CSV is using these headers. See an example.

🚀 How to Install

In order for you and your team to use this tool, you'll need to install Node.js. This tool requires Node.js v12+.

# Global so it can be called from anywhere
npm install -g harvest-overtime

You can also use npx to avoid pollution.

🏗 Usage

harvest-overtime -i [input-file] -o [output-file] -h [working-day-hours] -p

Where input-file and output-file are the path and file for the input and output. If these file paths are not provided, it will use the following:

• input: harvest.csv
• output: report.csv

The -h option sets the working-day-hours. This value defines the regular working day hours in order to calculate the overtime. If the value is not provided, it will use 8 hours per day.

This tool generates a report file, but you can add -p to print the report to the command line.

🔨 Command Line Interface

Usage: harvest-overtime [options]

Options:
  -V, --version           output the version number
  -i, --input [input]     Path and name of the incoming CSV file. If not provided, will be 'harvest.csv'
  -o, --output [output]   Path and name of the resulting CSV file. If not provided, will be 'report.csv'
  -h, --dayhours [output] Regular working day hours. If not provided, will be '8 hours'
  -p, --print             Print report to the standard output. If not set, it won't print the report
  -h, --help              output usage information

Using the Standard Regular Working Day Hours

If -h is no included, the overtime report will use the standard regular working day (8 hours per day):

harvest-overtime -i harvest_time_report_from2018-08-06to2018-08-12.csv -o report.csv

CSV report:

Employee	Weekdays	Weekends	2018-08-06	2018-08-07	2018-08-11
Jane Austen	2	0	8.5	9.5
Emily Bronte	1	1	7	10	1

Changing the Regular Working Day Hours

Add -h in order to change the regular working hours. For instance, if the regular working day has 6 hours:

harvest-overtime -i harvest_time_report_from2018-08-06to2018-08-12.csv -o report.csv -h 6

CSV report:

Employee	Weekdays	Weekends	2018-08-06	2018-08-07	2018-08-11
Jane Austen	6	0	8.5	9.5
Emily Bronte	5	1	7	10	1

Printing the Report to the Command Line

Add -p in order to print the report. You can also check a detailed report (includes total time per day) in the provided output file.

harvest-overtime -i harvest_time_report_from2018-08-06to2018-08-12.csv -o report.csv -p
