Attendance Settings

1 min read

The Attendance Settings page allows you to configure how employee attendance is recorded, evaluated, and enforced across the system. These settings act as the default rules for most users, with the option to override specific values per employee where needed.

Manage Attendance Settings #

  • Off Day(s)
    Define the default non-working days for employees. These days are excluded from attendance tracking unless overridden at the employee level.
  • Default Check In Time
    Sets the expected start time for a workday.
    Employees who check in after this time are marked as late.
  • Default Check Out Time
    Sets the expected end time for a workday.
    If an employee has not checked in by this time, they may be marked as absent for the day.
  • Create Attendance Check In From First Task
    When enabled, the system automatically creates a check-in when an employee starts their first task of the day.
    If a check-in already exists (for example, from a fingerprint terminal), this setting is ignored.

Default attendance times and off days can be customized per employee from the Edit Employee page.

Manage Presence Check Settings #

Presence checks are used to periodically confirm that employees remain present during working hours.

  • Enabled
    Turns presence check enforcement on or off.
  • Affects Payroll
    Determines whether missed or late presence checks impact payroll calculations.
  • Presence Check Frequency (Hours)
    Defines how often employees must confirm their presence during a shift.
    Decimal values are supported (e.g. 0.5 = 30 minutes).
  • Grace Period (Hours)
    Allows a buffer before a missed presence check is marked as late.
    Decimal values can also be used for finer control.
