Attendance Types

Attendance types are kinds of attendance. A day spent at work (recorded in time) is reported to one or more attendance types.
The attendance hours are exported to a payroll system with an export code, in hours and day’s value. If the Export Code is not specified in the field, the Attendance Type code is considered for the export.
Note: The data is exported to a payroll system only if the Export check box is selected.

You can use the Attendance Types (bpxtm1150m000) session to specify the data that can be used for reporting. This includes:

  • Paid
  • Include in balance
  • Count into normal
  • Overtime
  • Planned absence
Note: 
  • You can approve or reject the attendance hours using the Attendance Approval (bpxtm2140m000) or Approve Attendance (bpxtm2240m000) session.
  • You must select the Exception on Approval check box in the Attendance Types (bpxtm1150m000) session if approval of attendance hours is not required for an attendance type.

For each attendance type, you can indicate the type of Presence. Possible values:

  • Normal: This includes the normal working hours such as 8:00 to 17:00 HRS.
  • Offsite: This includes working hours that are spent at places other than the workplace. For example, from home, at a customer or partner site, or a construction area.
  • Travel: This includes travel hours to reach to the workplace, return from the workplace, or travel between two jobs.
  • Absence: This includes all absence hours due to illness, holidays, paid time off, doctor’s visit, and so on.
  • Standby Time: This includes the hours when an employee is not at work but on standby to go to work.
