Attendance & shifts
Attendance and shift software records clock-ins and clock-outs digitally and builds the shift plan on a visual calendar, with reusable templates. In Odoo, attendance and planning are linked to time off and employee records: approved absences are already visible when you plan, hours and overtime are computed from clock-ins and the data comes out tidy for whoever processes payroll.
They're two sides of the same problem: planning who works when (shifts) and recording who actually worked (attendance). A good system keeps them together: the shift plan is built on a calendar with absences already visible, people clock in from a kiosk, the web or their phone, and the comparison between planned and worked — with hours and overtime — is automatic instead of reconstructed at month-end.
Planned vs actual hours are compared automatically.
Build the plan on a visual calendar, with reusable shift templates and copy-last-week.
Published shifts reach your people, who see their own calendar with no more WhatsApp photos of the noticeboard.
Clock-ins and clock-outs are recorded from the on-site kiosk (badge or PIN), the web or the phone, with exact times.
Worked hours and overtime are computed from clock-ins; missed punches and deviations from the plan surface immediately.
At period end, hours, overtime and absences come out in tidy reports for the payroll bureau or labour consultant.
The features we most often configure for SMEs.
On-site kiosk with badge or PIN, web or phone: each business clocks in the way that suits it.
The plan by person, role or department in a timeline view, with drag-and-drop and shift templates.
Standard weeks are copied and recurring shifts recur automatically: the plan isn't rebuilt from scratch each time.
Approved absences already show up while planning: no shifts assigned to someone on leave.
Worked time is computed from clock-ins and compared with expected hours, overtime included.
Hours, absences and overtime exportable in tidy reports for whoever processes payslips.
What changes between shifts on sheets and signatures on paper and a single system.
| Sheets, noticeboard and paper | Integrated attendance & shifts (Odoo) | |
|---|---|---|
| The shift plan | Rebuilt every week in Excel | Templates, recurrence and week copy |
| Communication | Noticeboard photos in group chats | Shifts published to personal calendars |
| Attendance | Paper signatures, approximate times | Digital clock-ins with exact times |
| Time off & absences | Found out after the rota is done | Already visible while planning |
| Payroll data | Reconstructed and re-copied at month-end | Tidy reports, ready to export |
Attendance and shifts lean on the rest of the suite: the employee records live in HR, approved leave flows into the plan automatically, worked hours can tie to projects and jobs to see where time goes, and period-end reports come out ready for payroll processing. One piece of data, from clock-in to payslip.
Rotas changing weekly, part-timers and seasonal peaks to cover without gaps.
Departments running multiple shifts, where attendance must square with the plan and payroll.
Cleaning, logistics, security: people spread across sites, clocking in where they work.
