Configuring General Settings for Employee Attendance Page

As a workforce admin, you can change how the employee Attendance tab in the Me section looks and what info is shown to your employees.

To access these settings, go to the Time Attend section and open Settings. This is where you can configure the General Settings of the employee attendance page.

While these settings will impact what employees see on their own attendance pages, admins will still have access to all the complete information regardless of these settings.

You can start by customizing how the attendance page looks. You can choose whether it appears as a list or a calendar, or even both. You can also set the default time format to be either 24 hours or 12 hours, although employees can adjust this to their preference.

After customizing the overall display, you have the option to choose whether you want to display only gross hours, only effective hours, or both on the attendance page. You can also decide whether you want to show all the attendance logs for your employees. 

To make the best choices for your organization, it's recommended to review your settings for the capture scheme and penalization policy. This will help you determine which settings align with your organization's needs.

It's important to note that leave, holiday, and weekly-offs assigned to employees will always be visible to them, regardless of the display preference chosen here.

Additionally, there are some extra settings available in this section. You have the option to exempt new employees from the tracking policy for their initial days. You can also decide whether to display missing swipes or late arrival data to your employees. These additional settings offer flexibility in tailoring the attendance display to your organization's specific requirements.

Finally, you can establish the maximum number of days an employee can be absent before being labeled as AWOL. AWOL stands for "Absent Without Leave" and occurs when an employee has no leave or attendance records for a specific consecutive period, excluding holidays and weekly-offs. This setting helps you track and manage prolonged employee absences effectively.

Once you are satisfied with all the settings on this page, just click Save in the top right corner. 

That's it for the general settings of the attendance page. Feel free to explore other articles in case you have more doubts.
