Attendance Policy

Introduction

The Attendance portal is on Zoho People software. This enables:
  1. Online computer check-in/out; and
  2. Self-service leave application via computer and cell phone.
Attendance management is the responsibility of HR Department (after July 16, 2020). Training is provided by Quality Department.

Roles & Responsibilities – Weekly

The Attendance week ends every Sunday. But also for payroll processing on:
  1. 15th
  2. Last day of the month
Therefore, all staff must apply for check-in/out changes in Zoho under Attendance/Regularization, after shift of the same day. For correct attendance to be processed in payroll, the Manager must approve attendance changes immediately.

*Invalid Reasons for Check-in/out

  1. Forgot to Check-in/out
  2. Already checked-in/out from Client’s system and assumed it applies in Zoho People
  3. Running late for a meeting/on a phone call – causing late check-in

Reminder

Where a Client does not want the standard late attendance penalties/deductions to apply, we need a written approval. However, the client staff should nonetheless be disciplined in their work approach to check in on time as if they were travelling to the office. Where there are more than one late a week, the Client would be informed and requested to talk to their staff. If staff work under-time they will still have payroll deductions.

Impact of Attendance Delays

Delays in applying for attendance changes immediately will result in staff pay being without check-in/out amendments as the payroll for all staff cannot be delayed, unless staff is on sick/emergency leave.

The window between finalizing attendance and finalizing payroll can be less than a day, staff compliance of attendance changes immediately is essential.

Frequent Attendance Changes

The Team Lead, BDM or Manager is responsible for validating Check-In/Out changes but also for ensuring these changes are minimized as they are a rework.

Staff need to organize themselves to remember to check-in and out on time. Zoho also sends eMail alerts as reminders. Staff found to be frequently requesting changes will be subject to Disciplinary Process as they must organize themselves to manage their time in Zoho People whether by setting alarms for themselves or by other methods. Please realize changes are waste of time for you to apply for, your Manager to approve and HR to validate.

Valid Reasons for Over Break Changes

Note: Over breaks of less than 10 minutes per day does not require Attendance Edit Request.
