Attendance systems, whether manual or automated, track team members' attendance, including arrival/departure times, breaks, and absences. Sometimes, recorded data may not accurately reflect actual circumstances, requiring managerial intervention. Managers override attendance to correct errors, accommodate special circumstances, or exercise discretion. This ensures accuracy, facilitates error correction, and allows proper handling of unique situations.

The Attendance Muster page in the greytHR ESS portal provides an overview of team members' attendance for the previous and current months. It allows you as a manager to override existing attendance data for regular as well as split shifts, which reflects throughout the Attendance module.

To view the Attendance Muster page, click Attendance > Attendance Muster.

Override team members' attendance date wise.
