UniFi Identity Enterprise - Attendance

Create a Fixed Attendance Schedule

Fixed scheduling is suitable for employees with consistent routines, such as salaried workers who adhere to a daily 9-to-5 schedule or hourly workers with set weekly shifts.

Users' attendance statuses will be present, late in, early out, not clocked-in, not clocked-out, absent, time-off, or work from home.

1. Go to Lab > Attendance and enter a site name in the search bar to select a site.
2. Go to Settings > Attendance Policy.
3. Click Create Policy and specify the policy name.
4. Go to Apply to, click Add User to select users, groups, or roles, and click Add.
5. Go to Clock Type and select Fixed.
6. Specify the day(s) that users must present.
7. Go to Working Time to specify the time that users must be present. You can click Add Working Time to add up to 3 shifts. Users must clock in and clock out for each shift.
8. Click Advanced Settings if needed:
   • Earliest or Latest Clock In/Out Time: Attendance will not be recorded if users clock in or out outside the specified time.
   • Late Arrival: Allows admins to set an acceptable grace period for lateness, ensuring that users who miss the clock-in time are not marked as late.
   • Tick the "Break time" checkbox, and specify the duration. The working hours calculation automatically deducts the specified break time.
9. Click Save.

Create a Flexible Attendance Schedule

Employees are required to work 8 hours daily, with flexibility in choosing their start and end times, as long as they fulfill the daily hour requirement. For example, rather than adhering to a conventional 9-to-5 schedule, an employee might choose to start at 11:00 a.m. and finish at 7:00 p.m.

1. Go to Lab > Attendance and enter a site name in the search bar to select a site.
2. Go to Settings > Attendance Policy.
3. Click Create Policy and specify the policy name.
4. Go to Apply to, click Add User to select users, groups, or roles, and click Add.
5. Go to Clock Type and select Flexible.
6. Specify the workdays that users must be present.
7. In the Working Hours Per Day field, specify the number of hours a user is required to work per workday.
8. Tick the "Break time" checkbox, and add up to 3 break times. The working hours calculation automatically deducts the specified break time.
9. Click Save.

Prioritize an Attendance Policy

A policy with a higher priority takes precedence over the policies with a lower priority.

1. Go to Lab > Attendance and enter a site name in the search bar to select a site.
2. Go to Settings > Attendance Policy.
3. Press and drag the ellipses icon in the front of a policy to change its priority.

Enable, Disable, or Remove an Attendance Policy

1. Go to Lab > Attendance and enter a site name in the search bar to select a site.
2. Go to Settings > Attendance Policy.
3. Click Manage, select policies, and click Enable, Disable, or Remove. Note that the default attendance policy, which is the first policy created in the workspace, cannot be disabled/removed but has a lower priority than other customized policies.
4. Click Done.

You can create WFH and time-off approval forms and integrate them into your attendance system. When a user’s time-off or WFH approval request is approved, their attendance status will be updated to “Time-Off” or “WFH” within one hour.

1. Go to Lab > Attendance > Settings.
2. Go to Time-Off Form and select a form. A user’s working hours will automatically deduct the time-off hours.

The attendance report offers valuable insights into your team's attendance and productivity. By leveraging this report, you can make informed decisions to enhance your team's performance and ensure everyone fulfills their responsibilities.

Be sure to export the report to a CSV file on a regular basis. Identity Enterprise retains attendance reports based on your workspace plan:

• Basic Plan: Reports are stored for 60 days
• Standard Plan: Reports are stored for 90 days

To view the attendance report:

1. Go to Lab > Attendance and enter a site name in the search bar to select a site.

Monthly Report

The monthly report displays the attendance status of each user for each workday. Admins can easily observe the number of days each user was present in the selected month, along with their total and average working hours.

1. Click the Calander icon in the right-upper corner and select a month.
2. The following shows what status each character indicates.
   • P: Present
   • T: Time-Off
   • W: Work from home (WFH)
   • A: Absent
3. Hover your mouse cursor over a user's entry in the "Present" column to access their "Avg. Working Hours" and "Total Working Hours" information. Please note that the calculation excludes the current day.
   • Avg. Working Hours: Calculated by summing up the working hours for each workday in the current month and dividing it by the number of workdays specified in the attendance policy. Each day's working hours are computed as follows: Working hours = (clock-out time − clock-in time) − break time − time-off hours.
   • Total Working Hours: The sum of working hours for each workday in the current month.
4. Hover your mouse cursor over a user’s specific date column to view their attendance status details such as their clock-in/out time.
