Shift Rosters.
Perfectly aligned with your workforce.

Shift & Attendance Icon

Take the complexity out of staff coordination. Build standard work rosters, manage dynamic schedule requests, and standardise shift assignments in a single unified HR platform.

Built natively on the robust Frappe HR framework, Solutions Shift & Attendance integrates team schedules directly with time tracking, leaves, and payroll. Prevent shift conflicts, handle night rotations, and ensure complete operational coverage with zero administrative overhead.

Operational Scheduling

Granular Shift Types
& strict assignment logic.

Align your shop floor or office hours systematically. Define flexible shift patterns (including overnight rotations) and map employee assignments using automated precedence rules.

  • Intuitive Shift Type Rules Configure diverse working patterns inside the Shift Type master record. Define exact Start and End Times in 24-hour format. When End Time is mathematically less than Start Time (e.g. 22:00 – 06:00), the system automatically categorises and logs it as an overnight/night shift rolling into the next day.
  • Strict Scheduling Precedence & Requests Enforce absolute roster clarity. Active date-based Shift Assignment configurations always take precedence over the Default Shift listed on the Employee record. Enable staff to submit a Shift Request for easy swapping—once approved by managers, the system automatically spawns the corresponding Assignment and updates the team Roster calendar.

Business Benefit: Keep your operations fully resourced and legally compliant. By defining exact roster templates, enabling flexible calendar views, and allowing multiple active shift assignments per day in HR Settings, you resolve floor overlaps and secure a perfectly balanced staff presence.

Unbreakable Access Integration

Biometric integration &
seamless corrections.

Bridge the gap between physical turnstiles and digital timesheets. Resolve missing punches, manage employee exceptions, and bulk-record presence with absolute auditing transparency.

  • Enterprise Biometric Integration Directly link physical biometric attendance terminals (supporting WiFi, GPRS, or API push networks) to your HR cloud. Alternatively, leverage the Upload Attendance engine to securely import third-party CSV/Excel time logs in bulk, mapping hardware device IDs directly to employee profiles.
  • Granular Attendance Requests & Tools Manage standard presence states (Present, Absent, Half Day). If employees forget to log out or require shift corrections, they can submit a formal Attendance Request. Managers can quickly resolve bulk anomalies and log team-wide presences with the interactive Employee Attendance Tool.

Business Benefit: Achieve total workforce accountability and compliance. By integrating real-time terminal synchronization, formal electronic request approvals, and granular historical logging, you completely eradicate punch gaps, buddy-punching, and tedious manual spreadsheet reconciliations.

Unmanned Timesheet Processing

Automated Attendance &
hands-free shift evaluation.

Let your payroll run on autopilot. Our system continuously collects raw biometric logs, matches them against active work rosters, and compiles precise daily timesheets without manual data entry.

  • Hands-Free Clocking Chain Enable Auto Attendance on your Shift Type, map biometric device IDs directly to employee profiles, and collect clock-ins. An integrated background scheduler runs hourly, automatically generating finished Attendance records once your Last Sync of Checkin passes the actual shift end time. Alternately, managers can trigger calculations instantly via Mark Auto Attendance.
  • Custom Log Interpretation & Guardrails Configure exactly how raw punches are processed: First check-in & last check-out (captures total span), Every valid check-in/out (excludes lunch breaks), Alternating IN/OUT, or Strictly by Log Type. Set exact working hour thresholds to automatically mark employees as Half Day or Absent, and define a hard Process Attendance After date to safeguard past payroll records.

Business Benefit & Strict Mapping: Prevent shift mapping errors. To guarantee flawless processing, ensure employees punch IN after Start Time - Begin check-in before and punch OUT prior to End Time + Allow check-out after. Setting up these strict buffer windows eliminates incomplete logs and secures 100% accurate attendance data.

Unified daily Attendance &
high-volume bulk tools.

Reconcile operational logs on your own terms. Solutions Shift & Attendance supports robust manual overrides, secure spreadsheet imports, and multi-employee monthly configurations inside one clean view.

  • Granular Daily Attendance Records Log precise daily states (Present, Absent, On Leave, or Half Day) with optional Shift Type attachments. Built-in system validation completely locks future dates—ensuring team members can only be marked up to the current calendar day to prevent fraud.
  • Omnichannel Logging & Mass Actions Log presence your way. Create individual entries manually with New Attendance, deploy the interactive Employee Attendance Tool to populate entire teams for a whole month, or utilize Upload Attendance to securely import external spreadsheets. Mark timesheets rapidly using direct multi-select lists.

Business Benefit: Generate instant, compliant payroll reports. Supervisors can leverage the Monthly Attendance Details report to audit actual attendance patterns, overtime totals, and leave accruals—securing an error-free connection to payroll runs.

Attendance Regularisation

Attendance Requests &
workforce corrections.

When fieldwork, WFH, or automated system glitches create attendance gaps, empower employees to request formal corrections. Our streamlined authorisation flow ensures full audit compliance and accurate payroll mapping.

  • Seamless Workflow Regularisation Employees submit specific date ranges with reasons for correction. Upon submission, the system auto-updates records, overwriting erroneous entries or filling gaps in the timesheet.
  • Cancellation & Holiday Inclusion If a request is retracted, the system automatically voids the associated attendance record. Admins can optionally include public holidays within requests to maintain precise leave balances.

Business Benefit: Reduce payroll errors by up to 95% and eliminate manual timesheet reconciliation bottlenecks while maintaining absolute regulatory audit trails.
