Attendance Overview

Attendance is the QTO ERP module for daily time tracking and absence management. It records work sessions, manual and scheduled breaks, calculated hours, leave requests, correction requests, team visibility, and the settings that control shift behavior.

The implementation is permission-driven. The pages and buttons shown to each user depend on assigned Attendance permissions and the employee hierarchy configured in the system.

What Attendance covers

Area	What it does
Clock In / Clock Out	Starts and ends an employee work session.
Breaks	Records manual Break In / Break Out activity and configured scheduled breaks.
Attendance Records	Lists recorded sessions with dates, times, break time, buffer hours, overtime, under hours, working hours, statuses, and actions.
Team Overview	Shows team-level attendance status for users with team access.
Corrections	Lets employees request changes to clock and break times, then routes them through review.
Leave Management	Handles leave requests, approval workflows, balances, leave records, and unpaid absence records.
Calendars	Provides personal, team, leave, and events/holidays calendar views.
Settings	Controls shifts, break times, work calendar dates, overtime rules, leave policies, approval chains, overtime policies, and buffer policies.

Who uses Attendance

User type	Typical use
Employee	Record Clock In, Clock Out, Break In, Break Out, apply for leave, review personal records, and submit corrections.
Team lead or manager	Review team attendance and subordinate leave or correction information when permissions allow it.
HR or administrator	Manage attendance records, review corrections, process leave, maintain shifts and policies, and export data.
