I. Intro

If your organization uses a fixed shift attendance system, where for example, all employees work from 9:00 am to 18:00 pm, then follow the steps below to easily set up fixed shift attendance.

II. Steps

1. Select fixed shift

Go to Attendance Admin > Group Settings page and click Add attendance group, and select Fixed Shift as the Shift Type.

Note: Once an attendance group is created, the shift type cannot be changed. You can follow Step 2 to change shift settings.

2. Set shift rules

Shift settings: The default shift is from 9:00 am to 18:00 pm. Click Details to view shift details and click Change to select a different shift or create a new shift.
Workdays and Days Off settings: The default workdays are Monday to Friday. You can check and uncheck the boxes to adjust the workdays and days off. You can also click Change to modify the shifts for that day.
Schedule settings: You can select to schedule days off according to statutory holidays automatically. Days off won't be automatically scheduled according to statutory holidays if you uncheck this option.
Special Days settings: Click Add an attendance-required date or Add a non-attendance-required date to set up special days that require or don't require attendance clock-ins. You can also set the shift cycle to Bi-weekly to Set big/small shift attendance.

Note:

Attendance and clock in/out policies of different date types:

Workday: Clock in/out is required and reminders will be sent before and at the end of a shift. Unusual attendances will also be recorded, such as No record for missed clock-in/outs and Late in for late clock-in times.
Day off: Clock in/out is available. Reminders won't be sent before and at the end of a shift and unusual attendances won't be recorded.
Statutory holiday: If Automatic scheduling according to statutory holidays is set, then its attendance policy will be the same as the day off attendance policy.

Priorities in order of importance for conflicting date types:

Special days (days when clocking in/out is or isn't required) > Statutory holidays > Workdays or days off
For example: When a certain date is considered as a special day, a statutory holiday, and a workday, then the special day setting is prioritized to determine whether employees need to clock in/out.

If special days are set to a Bi-weekly cycle:

You need to set a cycle start and end date (cycle end date is set to 2 months after the start date by default. You can adjust it to any date within a year of the start date).
Edits made to a special day created using shift cycles can only take affect on that one single day.
