Time and Attendance

Time and attendance tickets - also referred to as simply attendance tickets - are used to track employee's time for payroll purposes. When used in conjunction with the Data Collection Application, attendance tickets can also be configured to automatically track and calculate overtime pay.

Like time tickets, attendance tickets can be created directly within the Shop Floor Control (SFC) Area or through the use of the Data Collection Application, but can only be edited directly in SFC.

For information about obtaining the Data Collection Application, please contact sales at 1-800-525-2143.

Once the Attendance Ticket is Created

Attendance tickets can be easily edited. Simply open the record and add / edit the grid as necessary.

  • If you already have an attendance ticket for an employee, you cannot create a second attendance ticket for that same employee on that same day. The system provides an error to inform you. Instead, add a second line item to the original time ticket.
