The term "workplace attendance" refers to whether or not an employee arrived to work on time and at the appointed hour. The term most frequently refers to employees who are paid hourly.
Employees are expected to show up for every shift on time, although they occasionally miss shifts without taking time off. Absenteeism is defined as a pattern of unexcused absences. This trend of frequent absenteeism might hurt a company's bottom line. Employers may utilize attendance and absence tracking to identify patterns and potentially terminate employees who have too many unexcused absences.
This feature allows for capturing the number of hours an employee spends working for the company. This feature is only available to the users where they can easily record their office in and out times through the system.
There are three ways of accessing the Punch In/Out screen to record your attendance.
1. Using the Time at Work Widget in the Dashboard in the OrangeHRM Web
2. Navigating to the Punch In/Out screen from the Attendance Module in OrangeHRM Web
3. Using OrangeHRM Advanced Mobile App
1. Using the Time at Work Widget in the Dashboard in the OrangeHRM Web
Click on the Stopwatch icon in the Time at Work dashboard widget to easily access the Punch In/Out Screen in the Attendance module to record your attendance records.
2. Navigating to the Punch In/Out screen from the Attendance Module in OrangeHRM Web

If the HR Admin has configured the attendance settings, by not allowing employees to edit the date and time for both punch in/out, the system will automatically capture the “system time”.
The following example shows the employee can select the date and time when punching in/out.
Step 1 - In the Punch In screen, add a note and click " IN"
While you're getting ready to leave the office, you may log into the system and Punch out.
Step 2 - In the Punch-Out screen, add a note and click " OUT"
3. Using OrangeHRM Advanced Mobile App
