Attendance Methods

Attendance Methods

What do we mean by Attendance Methods?

The attendance system does not just include managing employee check-in and check-out; based on the requirements of the organization, there could be a need to enable and track on-duty breaks, remote-in, and also allow employees to reach out in case of any discrepancies in their attendance (regularization). This page in the attendance settings lets you enable these methods for use within your organization.


What are the various Attendance Methods that can be enabled?

  1. Regularization:
    Regularization refers to the formal process through which employees can submit requests to correct or amend inaccurate or omitted entries in their attendance records. Configure Regularization.
  1. On Duty:
    The term "on duty" indicates the status of an employee who is actively working outside of their usual office setting, such as at a client's premises, a project site, or from a remote location like their home. Configure On Duty.
  1. Hourly Permission:
    This allows employees to request a brief period of absence from their duties during standard office hours. Configure Hourly Permissions.
  1. Break:
    Break refers to the setup enabling employees to record their periods of absence from work, typically for rest or other personal reasons, wit. Configure Breaks.
  1. Kiosk:
    An onsite attendance management solution that lets employees check in and check out through a quick photo capture (facial recognition). Configure Zoho People Kiosk.

  2. Office In and Remote In:
    Check-in procedures are categorized as either "office in" or "remote in," distinguishing between employees physically reporting to the office premises and those working from a remote location respectively. Configure Office-in and Remote-in.

    Remote work policy is automatically enabled upon enabling this feature. Which allows employees to do unrestricted remote check-in and check-out, set restriction using Remote Work Policy.

  3. Location Tracking
    Track employees’ work locations during their work hours, and automatically check out or notify when location data cannot be captured. - Configure Location Tracking

Enabling attendance methods

To enable the various methods, navigate to Settings > Attendance > Configuration > Methods.



Info
Once these options are enabled, new tabs that allow to configure the enabled method will be displayed on the left (if applicable). These options will also be made available for the employees in the left bar (attendance user service) and within the Operation space.
