Attendance Management

Approve, log, and visualize every punch across your team — then clean up exceptions in bulk. Four capabilities that keep attendance accurate before payroll.

Subcategory overview
Before You Start
  • Attendance module enabled with at least one clock-in source
  • Work schedules and policies configured for your employees
  • Manager or Admin role with access to the My Team view
What You'll Achieve
  • A single place to act on attendance — approve, view, clean up
  • A full timeline and calendar of every punch
  • Faster bulk cleanup when patterns or mistakes need to be reset

The Four Capabilities

Each article below drills into one capability of the module.

Capability 1
Attendance Approval
Action General, Off-day, and Regularization requests in one queue.
Capability 2
Attendance Bulk Action
Delete attendance records in bulk — selected rows or everything on screen.
Capability 3
Attendance Calendar
A month-at-a-glance view with color-coded day markers.
Capability 4
Attendance Log
The daily punch timeline aggregated from every clock source.

Recommended Path

Sequence we suggest
Calendar for a pattern scan → Log to inspect a specific day → Approval to action regularizations → Bulk Action for big clean-ups. Then move to Attendance Finalization before payroll.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Attendance Management and Attendance Finalization?
Attendance Management is the everyday view — approve, log, calendar. Attendance Finalization is the once-per-cycle HR pass that closes every anomaly (shortage, early check-out, no attendance, incomplete) before payroll runs.
Which roles can use these capabilities?
Calendar and Log are visible to every employee (ESS) and to managers/admins for their scope. Approval is manager/admin. Bulk Action is admin-level cleanup.
Where do regularization requests live?
Inside the Approval capability — they sit in the Regularization tab of the approval queue.
How do I access a team member's data?
My Team → Attendance → Select Employee — from there, Calendar, Log, and Approvals are all scoped to that person.
