Employee Attendance

Attendance Tracking provides four tools to help track details associated with attendance variances. Each tool can be disabled if it is not needed, and users can have varying permissions within each tool.

Note that Attendance Tracking isn’t meant to replace a payroll system that will ultimately determine how an employee is compensated during an attendance variance. It was developed with the following in mind.

• Give after hours watchpersons an organized way to record the employee calls they receive, without requiring access to the payroll system and without the use of easy to misplace sticky notes.

• Notify supervisors of employees that will not be showing up for their scheduled shifts.

• Provide managers with reporting options to identify habitual absences, and other attendance related issues.
