Frequently asked questions

What should an employee attendance sheet include?+

At minimum: date, in-time, out-time, total hours and status for each day, plus the employee and manager signatures. Adding break time and remarks makes it more useful.

Can an employee fill their own attendance sheet?+

Yes, self-recorded sheets are common for field and client-site staff. The reporting manager should verify and sign them before payroll.

How are total hours calculated?+

Subtract in-time from out-time and then subtract unpaid break time. Sum the daily figures for the month.
