Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate paid days in a monthly attendance sheet?+

Paid days are usually present days plus paid leave, weekly offs and paid holidays. Loss-of-pay days are subtracted from the total days of the month as per your payroll policy.

What is the difference between an attendance register and a monthly attendance sheet?+

A register records daily marks; a monthly sheet summarises them for the month. Most companies use the register daily and the sheet for payroll.

Should late marks appear on the monthly sheet?+

Yes, if your policy links repeated late coming to leave adjustment or counselling. Recording the count transparently helps employees see how the policy applies.
