In a workplace, an attendance scheme outlines guidelines for tracking employee attendance, such as the use of time clocks, electronic systems, or manual sign-in sheets. It can establish policies regarding punctuality, leave requests, and absenteeism, including procedures for reporting and documenting absences.
The Attendance Scheme page in the greytHR Admin portal helps you as an admin to assign an attendance scheme as per your requirements to the employees. Previously, the attendance policy was applicable based on the attendance scheme. Currently the attendance policy is based on the shift assigned to the employees. You can create one attendance scheme and configure attendance policy for both general as well as split shift. The policy rules will be applicable based on the employees' shift.
To view the Attendance Scheme page, navigate to the Settings icon > System Settings > Attendance > Attendance Scheme.
