Set up attendance policies

What this does

Admin: saves organization-wide late and absence deduction settings.

Before you start

The Settings shortcut on Attendance Records requires organization settings update permission.

Steps

1. Open Attendance Policies.
2. Set Max Acceptable Lates / Month, Late Deduction Type, and Value Deducted per Late. Review Absent Deduction Type and Value Deducted per Absence.
3. Review Consider Leave as Absent and Consider Holiday as Absent only if needed, then select Save Policies.
4. For work days and shift times, open Work Schedule & Holidays, review Working Days, Shift Start, and Shift End, then use Save Schedule when available.

Result

The saved policies apply to attendance deductions; the additional deduction rules do not change the attendance records themselves.
