Attendance

The Attendance module tracks clock-ins, clock-outs, breaks, and activities — via browser and mobile app.

Shifts receive statuses: Planned → Active → Completed (or Missed). Managers receive notifications about late arrivals, and the system can apply late deductions.

This module is a required dependency for Work Location Control and Activity, as well as for unscheduled breaks.

How to Enable/Disable

Modules → Attendance → toggle the switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use Attendance without GPS verification?
A: Yes. GPS verification (Check by GPS) is a separate setting. Attendance works without it: employees simply tap Start shift / End shift.

Q: What happens if an employee fails the IP or GPS check?
A: A red banner appears with an error — starting the shift is impossible. The screen shows a map with directions to the workplace.

Q: An employee was late but no deduction was applied — why?
A: Check the Allowed number of minutes late setting — this is a grace period. If the lateness falls within it, no penalty is applied.

Q: Can I allow employees to start a shift before the scheduled time?
A: Yes. The How early can employee “start”? setting defines how many minutes before the shift start clock-in is allowed.

Q: What is “Allow shift restart”?
A: If enabled, an employee can end and restart the same shift (within allowed time limits). Useful if someone accidentally ends their shift.

Q: Is the Attendance module required for other modules?
A: Yes. Work Location Control and Activity both require an active Attendance module. Unscheduled breaks also depend on it.

Q: How do I configure late deductions?
A: In Modules > Settings > Attendance > Late Deductions: set the grace period, deduction type (per-minute or flat), and the amount.

Q: Where can I view attendance data?
A: In the Working Hours report — it shows actual hours, late arrivals, and early departures.

Q: Can employees start a break outside their location?
A: Only if the Allow to start/end break outside of location setting is enabled (configured separately for browser and mobile app).

Q: Does Attendance work in both browser and mobile app?
A: Yes, both platforms are supported. Settings for each platform are configured separately in Module Settings.
