Track Staff Attendance in Worktime

Record staff attendance, clock times and absence reasons, then review the daily records.

Before you start

For Administrators, School owners

  • Prepare employee records and use a role with staff-attendance permission.
  • Confirm the date and school timezone before recording worktime.

Open Worktime

Open Worktime in the staff workspace. This is the employee-attendance screen, separate from student class registers. Select the date you need.

Choose the employee and status

Use Mark Attendance and select the employee. Choose Present, Absent, Late or Half Day as appropriate.

Record times and reasons

Add clock-in and clock-out times where relevant. For absence, select the appropriate reason and add a concise note following school privacy guidance.

Save and check the daily view

Save the record and verify it on the selected date. Review missing entries and totals; a missing record is not an automatically recorded absence.

Reconcile with leave and payroll

Use the school’s leave process separately, and check any required payroll adjustments with the finance team. Do not assume a staff-attendance edit automatically changes a processed pay run.

Good practice

  • Record worktime consistently each day.
  • Resolve attendance corrections before final payroll review.
  • Keep staff and student attendance workflows separate.
