New Dashboard Widgets

After installing the Attendance extension, you will find two new widgets on your WP-HR Manager Overview page: ‘Attendance Status‘ and ‘Attendance Self-Service‘ (the latter only shows if switched on see below).

Attendance Status shows the percentage of time employees have arrived on time, late or been absent.

Attendance Self Service allows employees to checkin and checkout when they arrive and leave so you can track their work time without having to enter the information yourself. (Self Service needs to be activated).
