A time tracking tool helps employers maintain accurate records of working hours, ensuring fair payroll and compliance with labor regulations. Using the Attendance module in Kenjo, your employees will be able to track their working hours with just click and you'll have real-time insights into workloads. But first things first, in this article I give you an overview of the module's most important functionalities.    

First steps

In order to properly use Attendance tracking, you as an admin must have previously:

• understood how to use legally compliant time tracking 
• Enabled attendance for the company (or for specific employees),
• enabled Attendance summary 
• created an attendance policy
• defined the settings of the policy like: 
  • Time tracking methods
  • Geolocation
  • Shift Rules
    • Possibly you want to enable Attendance conflicts 
  • Rest Rules
    • Possibly you want to deduct breaks automatically 
• assigned employees to the policy

additionally you have the option to:

• enable an Attendance widget
• enable overtime compensation 
• add salary surcharges 
• create a work schedule or custom work schedule 
• and assign employees to it

Day-to-Day Attendance tasks

When your organization uses time tracking, you as an admin will need to handle these kind of tasks:

• View your employees' Attendance summary
