The best way to learn how to resolve attendance is to complete the attendance resolution course. We would advise you take this course and share it with anyone at your company who will be responsible for resolving attendance
Resolving attendance is manually telling the system what time to use for an employees clocking. You might remember the thresholds you set up earlier on. These were the rules that are automatically applied to your employees depending on what time they arrive to work. If an attendance infraction happens to fall outside of those rules, or an employee forgets to clock in and out on the system we will need to take action and resolve their attendance.
Attendance is best resolved daily to ensure employee times are correct and they receive the appropriate compensation for the hours they work.

1. Click Employees and go to Attendance
2. Click on the date that you’ll resolve attendance to. The magnifying glass icon should come up when you hover the mouse through the desired date

4. Click “Resolve” to resolve the Attendance
