Attendance Overview

In general, you report your attendance at work by using the Timecard to record your in and out times or your total hours worked (see Time-Entry Overview). Attendance events that deviate from your normal or expected work hours are recorded in ezLaborManager as attendance notifications, attendance exceptions, or attendance infractions.

If an unexpected circumstance arises that causes you to be late to work or absent on a day that you are scheduled to work, you can create an attendance notification to report this unexpected attendance event. Attendance notifications are created using the Late Arrival and Absence buttons on the My Home page. See Reporting a Late Arrival and Reporting an Unplanned Absence for details.

Some companies elect to track certain types of attendance events, such as sick days, late arrivals, absences, or early departures. If your company has enabled attendance tracking, the tracked events will be recorded as attendance exceptions in ezLaborManager. Your company may assign point values to these exceptions and establish a disciplinary policy that assigns infraction levels and requires certain types of corrective action based on accumulated point totals. See Viewing Your Attendance Exceptions and Infractions for more information.

You will only see your attendance points if your company has chosen to display them.

Note: Attendance notifications are intended for reporting unplanned late arrivals and absences that will occur on the current or next day. Planned absences or schedule deviations such as vacations and planned medical appointments should be arranged in advance with your supervisor, who will adjust your schedule in ezLaborManager.
