Identify missing or late clock-ins

Staff on Shift shows real-time clock-in indicators so managers can quickly spot employees who are late, missing a clock-in, or have incomplete attendance data. This helps you identify potential staffing issues early and take action if needed.

Start from: The Mapal Manager dashboard.

• Navigate to Staff on Shift. On this screen, you can see:
  • Employees Working, Projected, and the Difference for all business unit.
  • The list of Business Units with their detailed information.

Note: The grouping can be changed to display employee groups by a parameter other than Business Unit. See below for details.

How missing or late clock-ins are shown

• Once you select a grouping (Business Unit, in this case), each employee row displays clock-in status indicators under the Clock In column.

• Each employee row includes a visual attendance status, for example:
  • Clocked in on time
  • Clocked in late
  • No clock in
  • Clock-out missing (if applicable)

These indicators appear directly in the list, so you can spot issues without opening individual shifts.

Note: Attendance indicators update in real time as employees clock in/out. Indicators also update automatically after a manager correction.

Identify missing or late clock-ins

• Review the Staff on Shift list.
• At the top right of the screen, you will find three buttons:
  • Select Parameters to modify:
    • Analysis type
    • Moment (date and time)
    • Employees per Category, Contract, or Workstation.
  • Select Filters to narrow down your view by:
    • Business Unit
    • Concept
    • Company
    • Country
    • Region
  • Select Group by to change the groupings per:
    • Company
    • Concept
    • Country
    • Status
    The default grouping is by Business Unit.

• Access the selected grouping (Business Unit, in this example) and scan for employees showing:
  • Warning or alert indicators
  • Missing clock-in times
  • Late clock-in markers
  • Missing clock-out times (if relevant)

Note: Make sure you are reviewing the correct group, date, and time. If needed, adjust the Group or Moment before continuing.

Validate an individual case (optional)

• Select an employee row to open the Shift action panel.
• Select the clock in info to open the Shift Detail screen.
• In Shift Detail, review:
  • Scheduled shift times
  • Actual clock-in/clock-out data
  • Attendance status
  • Notes/comments (if any)

This helps confirm whether the clock-in is genuinely missing/late or simply still in progress.

Note: This workflow is view-only; it does not change data. If a correction is needed, follow the process in Modify or correct employee clock-ins.
