How to Set Up Attendance Rules

🌟 Please note that to use GoCo's attendance managment features, you will need to have our schdueling feature enabled. To learn more about scheudling, click here!

Once scheduling is enabled, you will notice a new tab on your Time app labeled "Schedule".

 

In this tab, you will manage your schedules for your employees. To access your rules, hit the ellipses button on this screen & hit the "Settings" button.

Now you will see sections for customizing for your Work Week, who can View Schedules, & Scheduling Enforcement.

Here you will customize when employees are considered late & and if you want to notify managers when a direct report is late. If you choose to notify managers, then you will decide when that notification will go out. Once you've customized your rules, simply hit the "Save" button! 

Once you have attendance rules have been enabled, you'll notice a few new areas on your Time "Overview" tab. 

Here, you will see the "Running Late" card - this will display users who are scheduled for a shift that day and have not clocked in within the threshold you set up previously.

You will also see an "Over Scheduled Time" card that will display users whose shift has ended but have not clocked out yet. 

Lastly, you will see a "Starting Soon" card - this will display users who are starting their shifts within the next 15 minutes.
