Automatic attendance
Mark people present every working day without punching, for directors, field staff or anyone you trust.
Some people never punch: directors, sales staff on the road, consultants. Put them on Automatic Attendance and Orgwise marks them present on their working days.
Set it up
- Go to Attendance Management → Automatic Attendance.
- Click Add people, choose them and tick their working days (for example Monday to Saturday).
- That's it. Yesterday and today are filled in straight away.
You can also turn it on from the employee's own form.
When is a day marked?
A day is marked after the person's shift has ended. If the shift is 9 to 6, today shows up after 6 pm. The system checks every hour, so it can take up to an hour after the shift ends.
Nothing is marked on:
- days outside their chosen working days,
- company holidays (for their branch),
- approved leave,
- days before they joined,
- days off in the shift roster,
- days that already have attendance (a punch or HR's entry always wins).
Not working?
Today is empty. Most likely the shift hasn't ended yet. Wait for the shift end, or click Mark now on the Automatic Attendance page after the shift is over.
A whole week is missing. Check the person is still on the list and their working days are right. Then click Mark now: it fills yesterday and today. Older days can be added by HR in Attendance Records.
It marked a holiday. The holiday was probably added for another branch only. See Holidays.
Frequently asked questions
Does automatic attendance affect payroll?
Yes, those days count as present days, the same as a punch.
Can someone on automatic attendance still punch?
Yes. If they punch, the real punch is used for that day.
