You can define the global rules about absence. When the employee's attendance conforms to rules, the attendance record will be marked as absent or other defined status.

Click Time & Attendance > Attendance Settings > General Rule and in the Absence Settings area, you can define the absence rules. There are four rules provided for absence as follows.

• Enable Absent If Check-In Late function and set the period. When the employee's check-in time is late for the period or longer, her/his attendance status on that day will be marked as absent.

• Enable Absent If Check-Out Early function and set the period. When the employee's check-out time is early for the period or longer, her/his attendance status on that day will be marked as absent.

• If no check-in record found for the person on one day, her/his attendance status on that day will be marked as absent or late for certain period according to your settings.

• If no check-out record found for the person on one day, her/his attendance status on that day will be marked as absent or early leave for certain period according to your settings.
