Attendance & Time Tracking

Capture attendance the way that fits your team — a manual register, self-service clock-in/out, or device import — then shape it with shifts, rosters, overtime, and timesheets you can approve and lock.

Open Human Resources → Attendance. Every method writes to one record per employee per day, so however time is captured, the register, dashboards, timesheets, and payroll all read the same source of truth.

Three Ways To Capture Time

Manual register

Pick a day and mark everyone — "Mark all present", or set each person's status and clock times. Best for supervised sites.

Self-service clock-in/out

Employees clock themselves in and out (signed in, or via a no-login link). Hours and lateness are computed automatically.

CSV / biometric import

Upload a device export; a dry-run preview matches employees and flags issues before an all-or-nothing commit that de-duplicates per day.

Shifts & Rosters

Define shifts (start, end, break, and a grace period) to set expected daily hours and enable automatic late detection when someone clocks in past the grace window. Assign a default shift per employee, or use the weekly Roster to place rotating shifts, half-days, and nights on specific dates. For large teams the roster supports copy-last-week, a department filter, and bulk fill, and nothing saves until you confirm. Expected hours on timesheets follow whatever shift each day was actually rostered.

Overtime & Corrections

Overtime can be logged and approved, or auto-derived by comparing actual hours to the shift's expected hours. When someone misses a punch, they can file a correction request for a past day; once HR approves it, the corrected values are written to the record.

Timesheets — Approve & Lock

Timesheets roll each period up per employee — days worked, absences, leave, hours, and approved overtime. HR approves a period (snapshotting the figures) and then locks it (freezing it as authoritative). A locked month blocks further edits to the register, overtime, corrections, and clock-in for that employee — this is what makes payroll safe to run. Reopening a period returns it to live.

Verifying Who & Where

Self-service clock-in can be gated by an optional verification layer: a registered device passkey, GPS geofencing to one or more assigned sites, and an office QR code (a rotating kiosk code or a printed poster). GPS distance is always computed on the server, never trusted from the device.

Dashboards & Availability

The Attendance Dashboard shows attendance rate, absence and lateness leaders, and total hours for a month. The "Who's available this week" board combines shifts, approved leave, and holidays into a weekly grid of who is working, off, or away.
