Overview:
This new dashboard widget gives managers real-time visibility into who is currently working, on leave, or absent from their shift.
How the Widget Works:
The widget categorizes employees into three groups:
- In – The employee has an active shift recorded in their timesheet.
- On Leave – The employee is on an absence or public holiday affecting time tracking.
- Out – The employee is neither working nor on leave.
The widget also tracks:
- Total hours worked – The number of hours logged so far today.
- Clock-in history – Expand the widget to see period start and end times.
- Live updates – The widget automatically updates, but managers can manually refresh it anytime.
How Employees Are Categorized:
- Absence Types & Time Tracking:
- Full-day absences = Marked "On Leave" for the whole day.
- AM/PM absences = Marked "On Leave" for half the day.
- Hour-based absences = Marked "On Leave" only for the exact time of absence.
- Active Shift Calculation:
- If an employee has not clocked out, their hours are calculated based on their clock-in time.
- Future time entries are ignored—only time worked up to the current moment is counted.
- Fixed breaks are not deducted from the total shown.
How to Use the Widget:
- The widget is automatically added to the manager dashboard for all systems using time tracking.
- Managers can filter by all users, only those in, only those out, or only those on leave.
- Employees who do not use time tracking will not appear in the widget.
- Users can remove the widget from their dashboard if they prefer.
✅ Tip: This tool helps managers quickly check attendance without running reports, making it ideal for monitoring shift compliance and planning workforce needs.
