How does Auto-AWOL works in the Attendance Report?

Did you know that the system can automatically tag an employee as Absent in the Attendance Report even if they have logs?

If the Auto-AWOL is enabled, the employee will be tagged as Absent if his logs are less than his half-day shift. To identify the exact half-day shift, get the required hours to work (less break) / 2.


Sample #1: 
Shift: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Schedule Type: Normal Shift
Break: 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
Half-day: 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM; 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM 

A. Logs: 
8:00 AM IN; 12:00 PM OUT
Normally, you will see the Late and Undertime minutes of the employee like the one below: 


B. Logs: 
8:00 AM IN; 11:59 AM OUT
However, if his logs are less than his half-day shift, he will be tagged as Absent and the Late and Undertime will no longer appear in the Attendance Report. See below: 

 

Sample #2:
Core hours: 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Required hours to work including break: 9
Schedule Type: Flexible Schedule per Day
Logs:
10:00 AM IN
 
For a Flexible schedule, the basis of the Half-Day shift is the Core Hours. With our sample, the first half is from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and the second half is 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. 
A. Logs
10:00 AM IN; 12:00 PM OUT
Like in Normal Shift, the Undertime is noted in the Attendance: 

B. Logs
10:00 AM IN; 11:59 AM OUT

Based on his required hours to work and log in, this employee must log out at 7:00 PM to complete the 9 hours of shift. 

Since the sample employee logged out less than half of the shift (12:00 PM), he is automatically tagged as Absent with no late/undertime minutes:
