This addon adds a birthday message as welcome message when it is the employee's birthday.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0When an employee checks in on their birthday, the attendance welcome screen shows a birthday greeting instead of the usual random message.
This module extends the attendance check-in screen so that employees get a special greeting on their birthday.
- When an employee registers attendance (check-in) and the current date matches the day and month of the birthday stored on their employee record, the welcome message shown on the attendance screen is replaced by a birthday message: "Happy Birthday!" with a cake icon and "Enjoy your day".
- The birthday is taken from the employee's
birthdayfield onhr.employee; the comparison uses the current date in the user's timezone, so the greeting appears on the correct local day. - If no birthday is set, or it is not the employee's birthday, the standard attendance welcome message is shown unchanged.
- The change is purely visual: it affects the greeting message displayed after an attendance action, not attendance records, working hours or any other data.
- It relies on the attendance module (
hr_attendance) and its greeting message component, so it only appears where that attendance check-in screen is used.
