You can view attendance information for the employees you supervise and perform attendance-related management tasks as necessary.

Attendance records are created when employees' work hours that deviate from their normal or expected work hours. The three main types of attendance events are attendance notifications, attendance exceptions, and attendance infractions.

• Attendance Notifications

  If an unexpected circumstance causes an employee to be late to or absent from work, the employee can create an attendance notification to report the unexpected attendance event. Any attendance notifications submitted by employees you supervise will be displayed on your Home page until you mark them as "Read".

  Note: Attendance notifications are intended for reporting unplanned late arrivals and absences that will occur on the current or next day. Your employees should contact you directly to schedule expected absences or schedule deviations such as vacations and planned medical appointments.

• Attendance Exceptions

  Some companies elect to track certain types of attendance deviations, 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. As a manager, you will be able to view attendance exception information for the employees you supervise. You can also choose to excuse attendance exceptions for your employees. If you excuse an exception, it will remain in the employee's history, but any points associated with it will not be assessed.

• Attendance Infractions

  If your company has enabled the attendance tracking feature and assigns points to attendance exceptions, your system administrator may also have implemented an attendance infraction program that will alert you when any of your employees have been assessed enough attendance exception points to require a corrective action. The specific point threshold for each infraction level and the required corrective actions are defined by your system administrator according to your company's policies. You can view information about your employees' attendance exceptions and infraction levels and record corrective actions. If your company has chosen not to display points, attendance points do not appear in the Time & Attendance module.
