The attendance system allows admins to track employees’ attendance as well as punctuality. Payboy's attendance system can be integrated with third-party devices such as entry devices, and our mobile app supports location-based tracking for checking into work.


Attendance Logs

The attendance logs will be automatically updated if it is integrated with a third-party device. In the case where there is no third-party device being used, the employee is allowed to log his/her attendance via the Payboy software (mobile app/web portal). However, as an admin, you will have the authority to manually add attendance logs on behalf of your employees without any prior requirement.

Additionally, attendance logs can be modified or backdated via the mobile app, provided the required permissions are granted by an admin. Admins need to ensure that this feature is enabled within the Attendance settings of Payboy for approvers to perform such changes. This process facilitates flexibility by enabling direct updates to attendance entries through the mobile interface, streamlining attendance management.

It is important to log attendances properly because:

  • It determines how many hours has the employee worked

  • It allows accurate calculation of Overtime Hours, hours worked on Rest days, and Holidays to be taken into account during payroll generation
