Attendance settings

The attendance settings allows administrators to manage employee attendance within an organization. The primary purpose is to establish and enforce attendance policies, tailor work schedules, and ensure attendance tracking.

Accessing the Attendance Settings

Key Features and Functionalities

The flexibility of the attendance setting can benefit a wide range of industries, especially those with complex scheduling, diverse work hours, or unique attendance tracking requirements. With options to configure holidays, leave types, and templates for work schedules, administrators can adapt attendance rules to suit diverse organizational requirements.

Configuring Work Policies

Administrators can establish the primary attendance rules by configuring work policies. This includes defining standard business hours, enabling night shift parameters, and setting 24-hour operation schedules.
Using Work Policy Template, it also allows administrators to create, edit, or remove templates that define work hours, shifts, and scheduling types to meet operational needs. Businesses can ensure that employees follow predefined work schedules while allowing flexibility where necessary.
The Calculation and Display Format defines how work hours, rounding rules, and time-related data are processed and displayed. Administrators can set rounding rules, discrepancies, and formatting options to ensure accurate tracking and presentation of employee attendance records. This ensures consistency in time calculations and adaptability to organizational requirements.

Enabling Attendance Features

Administrators configure settings to allow employees to view clock-in/out records, enable break logs and web-based clock-ins/outs, display absent statuses for missed clock-outs, and support complex scheduling, including multiple daily schedules.
The settings enable employees to make necessary changes, including canceling their last clock-in or clock-out, if permitted, and submitting leave requests during early clock-out scenarios.

Managing various attendance types

Using Attendance Code, administrators can manage and customize attendance classifications using predefined types and unique codes. Each work shift, overtime, and attendance status (such as late, undertime, and absence) is assigned a unique code for efficient tracking and management. This ensures accurate payroll processing, compliance with company policies, and clear reporting of employee attendance.

Establishing workday, rest day, and holiday classifications

The Day Type section categorizes different workdays, holidays, and rest days within the attendance system. Each entry defines whether employees are required to work, how their pay rate is calculated, and if overtime is applicable. This feature helps HR and payroll teams manage schedules, ensure compliance with labor laws, and automate compensation based on the day type.

This level of configurability is valuable for organizations with dynamic work patterns. Whether you're managing a 24/7 operation or need to accommodate distributed shifts, these settings help streamline workforce management while ensuring accountability and consistent compliance with company policies.
