πŸ” 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.

βš™οΈ 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).

🧾 Approval process

  • An employee creates a request in attendance (e.g. for vacation)

  • The supervisor receives a notification (by email or in the app)

  • The request can be approved βœ…, rejected ❌, or left pending ⏳

  • Once approval , the request will be automatically recorded in attendance.

  • All steps are audited ( approval time and approver name)

πŸ“₯ Bulk approval

  • Supervisors can approve multiple requests at once

  • Can be filtered by date, request type or employee

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’Ό Role in the process

  • Employee β€” submits absence requests

  • Team leader β€” approves requests from his team

  • Administrator / HR β€” has access to all records and can enter the process

πŸ’‘ Tips

  • Set clear approval responsibilities – minimize delays

  • Regularly check the status of unapproved requests in the overview

  • Enable email alerts or Notifications to Teams or Slack for faster manager responses
