Employee Checkin

Employee Checkin is used to keep a log of all the check-ins and check-outs of an employee in the organization. Most organizations use this for attendance, shift management, and working hours calculations.

1. Prerequisites

To create an Employee Checkin, you need to first create:

• Employee

If you want shifts to be determined in employee checkins and want to process auto-attendance, then you need to create the following documents too:

• Shift Type
• Shift Assignment or set a default shift in Employee master.

2. How to create an Employee Checkin

2.1 Creating logs manually

To create a new Employee Checkin go to:

Human Resources > Attendance > Employee Checkin

1. Click on New.
2. Select the Employee.
3. Set the date and time for the log.
4. Set Log Type as IN/OUT.
5. Save.
6. If you have set up shifts and shift assignments, the Employee Checkin will set the appropriate shift in which the timestamp falls after saving.
7. You can enable _Skip Auto Attendance_ to skip that record while marking attendance.
8. You can also capture the location from where the employee has checked in or the Biometric Device ID.

If auto attendance is enabled, the attendance record marked for a set of check-ins will be linked to the document later.

2.2 Integrating ERPNext with Biometric devices

If you are using a Biometric Device to log employee check-ins and check-outs you can use it to create records in ERPNext. You can read more about this here.
