Attendance for employees
Use your own Attendance page to record when you start and finish work and to check your saved records. Review your weekly timesheet before sending it for approval.
Access needed
Access depends on your assigned permissions and workflow scope.
- Read your own attendance and weekly timesheet; submit your week
Sign in with an account linked to your employee record. This grants only your permitted own-data scope. Weekly submission/reopening follows status and open-interval rules; no attendance.read permission is required for own reads.
Role and permission labels
Typical responsibility: Employee. Role names alone do not grant access.
- Clock your own arrival and finish

Demo screenshots may show broader access than your account.
Open your Attendance page
In My Workspace, select Attendance. This shows your own records and the clock actions available to your account. Your sign-in account must be linked to your employee record, and clocking requires the appropriate access.
If Attendance is unavailable or Clock in/out is disabled, contact HR. Employee self-service is different from the administrative Attendance → Records list used to manage other people's records.
Clock in when you start
- Select Clock in
Use Clock in in the top toolbar. This opens Confirm clock in; opening the dialog alone does not record attendance.
- Check the date and time
Review Clock-in date and Clock-in time, which use your device's time zone. The dialog starts with the current time. Change it only when needed to record the actual start and your organization's process permits it.
- Confirm and verify
Select Confirm clock in once and wait for the result. Check your list for the new open record. Choose Cancel if you do not want to clock in.
You cannot clock in again while another record is open, during a conflicting interval, or on a date blocked by approved leave. Employees who have not started employment cannot clock in. Do not create repeated clock-ins to work around an error.
Clock out when you finish
- Select Clock out
Open Clock out in the same toolbar. It closes your latest open attendance record; it is not a way to create a record when no clock-in exists.
- Review your actual finish
Check Clock-out date and Clock-out time. The finish must be after the clock-in. For overnight work, check the calendar date as well as the time.
- Confirm and check the saved hours
Select Confirm clock out once, wait for success, and review the record. It should now have a finish and calculated hours. If the result is unclear, refresh and check the record before retrying.
Check your records
Use Filter for record date or status, and Refresh attendance to reload. The table labels the record date as UTC while clock timestamps appear in your device's time zone. Around midnight, those visible dates can differ.
Open attendance details on a row to inspect its times, status, source, and notes. Your account may show view-only controls. Having access to your records does not automatically allow you to change or delete them.
Clocked identifies the normal clock workflow; Manual indicates an entry or correction made through management controls. An open record has no completed duration, so zero hours can mean a missing finish. Decimal hours are not minutes: 7.50 hours means seven hours and thirty minutes.
If you forgot a clock-in/out or find an incorrect time, tell HR or the person responsible for attendance. Provide the date, intended actual times, and a short explanation. There is no separate correction-request action promised by this guide. Do not use the current time to disguise an earlier missed finish.
Review your week
Open Attendance → Timesheets and select My week. Additional administrative tabs may appear for accounts with broader access; employees should use their own week.
Choose Previous week, Next week, the Week starting date, or Current week. Check the displayed employee, range, status, daily entries, and totals. Use View entries for a day's underlying records.
Worked, regular, and overtime totals follow the timesheet policy shown below the week. Scheduled hours and variance compare recorded work with published shifts; a variance is not automatically an absence decision or a payroll deduction. Timesheet weeks use the organization's calendar and time zone, so do not assume they group records exactly like the UTC daily-record filter.
Submit your timesheet
- Finish checking the week
Confirm the week is correct and all intervals have an actual finish. Resolve missing or incorrect attendance with HR before submitting. You can submit the current week or an earlier one, not a future week.
- Review Submit week
Select Submit week, read the confirmation, and confirm Submit week only when the records are ready for review. Cancel the confirmation to keep the week open.
- Track the outcome
Check that the status becomes Submitted. This is waiting for review, not final approval. Return to My week to see whether it is approved or rejected.
| Status | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Open | The week has not been submitted, or has been reopened for corrections. |
| Submitted | Waiting in the approval workflow. Do not submit another copy. |
| Approved | Approved attendance is locked. Ask HR to reopen the week if corrections are needed. |
| Rejected | Read the rejection reason, make or arrange the required corrections, and resubmit. Use Reopen week when offered to return a rejected week to Open. |
A week with an unfinished interval cannot be submitted. Rejected weeks can be submitted again after correction. The week is assigned to an eligible manager or HR approver. A successful approval completes this single decision; check the recorded status.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Clock actions are disabled | Ask HR to check your account link, access, and whether your employment has started. |
| Already clocked in | Find the open record and record the actual finish; do not create another start. |
| No open record to clock out | Check whether clock-in succeeded and whether a finish is already saved. Ask HR if a correction is needed. |
| A time is rejected | Check its date, time zone, order, and whether it is in the future. |
| An interval conflicts with another | Inspect your saved records before trying again. |
| Submit week is unavailable or fails | Check the week, status, and unfinished intervals. A submitted or approved week cannot simply be submitted again. |
| A saved result is unclear | Refresh the list or week and check its current state before repeating an action. |
