Time And Attendance Scheduling Software

Attendance reports typically include information such as:

• Employee names
• Dates worked
• Excused absences
• Unexcused absences
• Late clock-ins
• Early clock-outs
• Total hours worked

That said, your attendance reports can include any information that you need or that you think is relevant to do your job better.

In that case, you may only need the employee’s name, the date, and whether or not they were at work when they were supposed to be. Or, you may need all of the information mentioned above as well as data about paid time off, family leave, and vacation absences.

There’s no right or wrong answer about what should appear on your attendance reports. Build a report that benefits your business and you’ll have everything you need to manage your team better.

You can generate attendance reports every day, once a week, every two weeks, once a month, once a quarter, every six months, or once a year — it all depends on what you need to keep your business and your team running smoothly.

Building on that thought, your operation may do better with a custom time frame for reporting rather than a typical schedule.

Special events, holidays, and busy times of the year may mean that you generate attendance reports every day for a few weeks. When those occasions pass, you may then choose to generate a report once a week.

If you find yourself printing a report and then immediately stuffing it in a file without really reading it, you may be generating reports too often.

Most businesses allow HR personnel, managers, and supervisors to view the attendance reports for their employees.

Depending on their seniority, you may set up the report so that department managers can view everyone’s data, while team managers can only view information about their direct reports.

In some cases, you may want to provide each employee with access to their attendance records for verification and personal record keeping.

That said, for security and privacy reasons, it would be inadvisable to let team members have access to their coworker’s attendance reports.
