Staff attendance and biometric devices

Mark staff attendance in one click a day, or let a biometric device do it — and payroll deducts loss of pay by itself.
5 min
  1. 1

    Mark the register

    Go to Staff → Attendance. Everyone starts as Present (or On leave when approved leave covers the day), so a normal day is one click on Save attendance. Change anyone to Absent, Half day, On leave or Holiday first.

    Connect a biometric device

    Staff → Attendance → Biometric devices → Add device gives a key, shown once. Paste it into the device's (or its sync tool's) settings with the address shown. Each swipe marks the person present; the first and last swipe are check-in and check-out.

    Biometric devices

    A device that can't send by itself? Upload its punch export as a CSV — uploading the same file twice adds nothing twice.

  3. 3

    See the month

    Staff → Attendance → Month summary shows present, absent, half days, leave and loss-of-pay days for each person.

    Loss of pay in payroll

    Run payroll deducts loss of pay — absences, half of each half day, and unpaid leave — at gross pay ÷ days in the month. Days nobody marked are never deducted.

    Marked attendance after running payroll? Press Update from attendance on Payroll: draft payslips are recalculated; approved and paid ones never change.
