Adding Attendance Flags

According to the recorded attendance of employees in the attendance logs, and based on their attendance timings in the specified shifts for each employee, deductions and earnings on the payroll are calculated. But how can you control the way attendance is calculated and the action resulting from it?

Attendance Flags are responsible for that. Through them, you can set a condition; if it is met, the employee is considered present or absent, rewarded or penalized.

 

• Note: Before starting, make sure to activate the employee attendance app in your account.
