Authorizing attendance – An overview
In this page you can authorize attendance details for a given process period.
During attendance processing in the “Process Employee Attendance” activity, the system uses the employee attendance data to compute the pay elements of the employee. The computed pay element figures must be approved, before the system can use them as input for the next stage of payroll cycle.
