π What is it?
Attendance Approval allows managers to review and approve employee attendance and absence records. Each type of attendance can be set to require approval or be recorded automatically.
βοΈ Approval Settings
Each attendance type can have specific behavior assigned to it:
Stopwatch attendance β usually not approved, only real time is recorded
Absence requests (vacation, HO, sick day) β require approval by supervisor
Scheduled Shifts β can be set as approved or unapproved
Neutral entries (e.g. "doctor visit") β usually not approved
Each type can be: active (entered into statistics), planning (displayed in planning, but not counted as time worked), or neutral (purely informative).
π§Ύ Approval process
An employee creates a request in attendance (e.g. for vacation)
The supervisor receives a notification (by email or in the app)
