Attendance

Attendance tracks who's working when — useful for hybrid offices, flexible-hours teams, or any role where presence patterns matter.

What it tracks

  • Working days vs off days per person per week
  • Office vs remote split (if configured)
  • Anomalies — unexpected absences, long absences

How presence is recorded

Three options, in order of effort/accuracy:

A — Implicit — Sageon infers presence from timesheet activity. Time logged on a day = present.

B — Manual — employees mark their working pattern (default: M-F). Override per week.

C — Integrated — connect a swipe-card or Slack integration (Enterprise only).

Manager view

Line managers see a per-team grid of who's in / out / off across the week. Drill into anomalies (e.g. 3 unplanned absences in a row).

Privacy

Attendance data is only visible to the person's line manager and HR admins. Other team members see availability (busy / available) without details.

Tips

  • Don't over-track. Attendance monitoring kills trust quickly. Use it for resourcing decisions, not for measuring productivity.
  • Set "core hours", not "working hours". Most modern teams should be flexible outside core overlap.
