Assigning Shifts

Shifts are assigned to employees:

1. Go to Administration → Employees
2. Edit an employee
3. Select their Shift
4. Save

One employee can have one active shift at a time.

Grace Period

The grace period determines how late an employee can check in before being marked as Late:

• 08:00 shift with 15-min grace → Check-in at 08:14 = On Time, 08:16 = Late
• No grace period → Any check-in after the start time is Late

Overtime Calculation

Hours worked beyond the shift's end time may count as overtime, depending on your organization's policy:

• Overtime is calculated based on actual check-out time vs. shift end time
• Minimum overtime threshold can be configured (e.g., only count overtime if > 30 minutes)

Editing & Deleting Shifts

• Edit — Changes apply to future attendance calculations only
• Delete — Only if no employees are currently assigned to the shift
