Properly configuring attendance settings and work schedules is essential for accurate time tracking and punctuality monitoring across your organization. BizEdge allows administrators to define lateness policies and assign work schedules to employees, ensuring that the system correctly reflects each employee’s working pattern and calculates attendance data accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Open the Attendance App<\/strong>
From the BizEdge dashboard, open the Attendance App and click Get Started to begin the setup process. You will be prompted to set the lateness grace period and define the clock-in start date for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Set Up a Company Location<\/strong>
Employees must be assigned to a defined company location in order to clock in. To set this up, open the People App and navigate to Settings, then Location. Click Add New Location and either detect your current location automatically or manually enter the company address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Set the Clock-In Radius<\/strong>
Once the location has been added, set the Clock-In Radius. This defines how close an employee must be to the company location in order to successfully clock in, ensuring that attendance is only recorded on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Configure the Lateness Policy<\/strong>
In Attendance Settings, set the lateness grace period. This determines the window of time after the scheduled start time during which an employee can still clock in without being marked late. Any employee who clocks in after this grace period will automatically be marked as late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
