Employee Checkin is used to keep a log of all the check-ins and check-outs of an employee in the organization. Most organizations use this for attendance, shift management, and working hours calculations.

Prerequisites

To create an Employee Checkin, you need to first create:

  1. Employee

If you want shifts to be determined in employee checkins and want to process auto-attendance, then you need to create the following documents too:

  1. Shift Type
  2. Shift Assignment or set a default shift in Employee master.

How to create an Employee Checkin

Creating logs manually

  1. To create a new Employee Checkin go to:
  2. Human Resources > Attendance > Employee Checkin
  3. Click on New.
  4. Select the Employee.
  5. Set the date and time for the log.
  6. Set Log Type as IN/OUT.
  7. Save.
  8. If you have set up shifts and shift assignments, the Employee Checkin will set the appropriate shift in which the timestamp falls after saving. If you have forgotten to assign a shift, causing the system to pick up the wrong one, you can re-fetch it by clicking on the 'Fetch Shift' button, as long as attendance has not already been marked for the same.
  9. You can enable Skip Auto Attendance to skip that record while marking attendance.
  10. You can also capture the location from where the employee has checked in or the Biometric Device ID.
