Manage today's attendance

Managers and Organisation Admins can check staff attendance from the Dashboard. Roster and Timesheets access determine which filters and clock buttons appear.

Step 1: Choose an attendance filter

  1. Open Dashboard and find Today's team.
  2. Select On Shift for people currently clocked in, including anyone on a break.
  3. Select Not Clocked in for shifts that have started but have not finished without a recorded clock-in.
  4. Select Didn't Clock in for completed shifts without a recorded clock-in, or Starting Later for shifts that have not started yet.

The scheduled filters use published shifts and your organisation's day and timezone, including overnight shifts that overlap today.

Step 2: Record a missing clock-in

  1. Find the staff member and select Clock in on the right of their row.
  2. For a shift that has not ended, this records a clock-in at the current time.
  3. For a completed missed shift, review the staff member, date, shift, actual start and finish times, and breaks in Clock Staff In / Out. Select Create Timesheet after checking the entry.

Step 3: Clock out someone who forgot

  1. Select On Shift and find the staff member whose scheduled shift has ended.
  2. Select Clock out, read the confirmation, and confirm.
  3. This records the current time as their clock-out and ends any open break. If they actually left earlier, review and correct their finish time in Timesheets.

If a clock button is missing

Clock actions require management access to Timesheets. Dashboard clock-out also needs an open timesheet linked to a scheduled shift whose finish time has passed. Use Timesheets → Live Clock for other open entries, including unscheduled work.

See Clocking In & Out for staff clock instructions and Approving Timesheets for reviewing recorded hours.
