Create Custom Shifts for Employees
To streamline employee attendance monitoring, you can create separate shifts for each employee. Employee shift scheduling enables you to manage and monitor staff attendance more easily and efficiently. For each employee, you can set distinct start and end times, minimum hours, working days, repeat options, and more.
By monitoring employee attendance with shift scheduling you can use company time to the fullest.

FAQ
What is an employee attendance monitoring system?
An employee attendance monitoring system is a tool that automatically tracks when employees start and finish work, records late arrivals and early departures, and generates attendance reports. Instead of manual timesheets or sign-in sheets, the system collects attendance data in real time and surfaces patterns like absences, shift deviations, and overtime — giving you a centralized view of workforce presence.
How does WebWork help you monitor employee attendance?
WebWork monitors employee attendance automatically as employees track time. It records start and end times, detects late starts and early finishes, prompts employees for a reason when they deviate from their schedule, and compiles everything into detailed attendance reports. You can set workspace-wide attendance rules or create custom shifts for individual employees with unique start times, end times, and minimum hour requirements.
Can you monitor staff attendance across multiple teams or departments?
Yes. The Attendance Dashboard gives you a centralized view of your entire organization, with the ability to drill down by team or individual employee. You can spot departments with higher absence rates or late-start patterns, track punctuality rankings, and monitor shift compliance — all from one place.
How do you set up accurate attendance monitoring for your team?
To get accurate attendance monitoring in WebWork: invite employees to your workspace, configure attendance settings or assign custom shifts, have employees track time using any WebWork tracker (desktop, mobile, or web), and access automated attendance reports. Upgrading to the Plus or Premium plan unlocks shift creation with custom rules per employee.
What data does WebWork include in attendance monitoring reports?
Attendance reports include tracked hours, shift details, activity levels, reasons for late starts or early finishes, and visual breakdowns through calendar, pie, bar, and line charts. Reports detect attendance deviations automatically, so you don't need to cross-reference timesheets manually to find inconsistencies.
Can employees be notified when they start late or leave early?
Yes. When an employee starts work later than their scheduled shift or finishes before the required time, WebWork automatically opens a pop-up asking them to provide a reason. That reason is then logged and visible in the attendance report, giving managers context alongside the attendance data.
What is the difference between workspace-wide settings and custom shifts?
Workspace-wide settings apply the same attendance rules to everyone in your organization — useful for teams with uniform hours. Custom shifts let you define separate start times, end times, working days, and minimum hours for each employee individually. This is particularly helpful for businesses with flexible schedules, remote teams across time zones, or roles with different hour requirements.
Is employee attendance monitoring included in the free plan?
Basic attendance monitoring and reports are available on all plans, including during the 14-day free trial. Custom shift creation with per-employee rules is available on the Plus and Premium plans. No credit card is required to start the trial.
