Appearance
Create an exception (Late & Early Records)
This article covers: New exception.
Before you start
- Access. You need access to Time & Attendance > Late & Early Records. If you do not see it in the menu, ask your administrator for the role that covers this area.
- These lists must already have entries, because the window picks from them: employees (add one).
Steps
Open Time & Attendance > Late & Early Records.
Select New exception.
In the window New exception fill in the fields below.

| Field | What it means and what to enter |
|---|---|
| Find the employee | Optional. Type part of a name or code to narrow the list next to it. |
| Employee | Choose from the list. |
| Attendance date | Pick a date. |
| Exception type | Choose one: Late arrival, Early departure, Missing punch, Unapproved absence. |
| Scheduled time (hours:minutes; empty takes the attendance) | For example: 09:00. |
| Actual time (hours:minutes; empty takes the attendance) | For example: 09:24. |
| Reason (required) | Say why. The text is kept with the record and shown to whoever reads or approves it. |
- Select Save the record.
The window closes and the table shows the result.
If something does not work
- The button "New exception" is missing. You do not have the permission, or the page is not in your menu. See Access above.
- A list in the window is empty. The records it picks from do not exist yet. Add them first: Employees.
- The window will not close or shows a message. Read the message: it names the field that is missing or not allowed.
