# Your Attendance

What you can see and do about your own working time.

# Checking your attendance

**Attendance → My Attendances** shows everything recorded for you. It has three views, and they
answer three different questions.

![My Attendance, signed in as a manager: Daily records (85), Punch activity (85) and Work record (114) tabs, with Date/Shift/Work Type/Clock In/Clock Out/At Work/Expected/Overtime/Status columns](https://docs.blueonehr.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-10/T8wattendance-my-attendance-daily-records.png)

*(Screenshot added 2026-09-14, verified live on demo.blueonehr.com — this page predates the
screenshot pipeline built in the P0.5 pass. Every visible row on this account showed **Validated**,
consistent with the reviewing-attendance guidance's own before-payroll checklist.)*

## Daily records

The default view: one row per working day, and the one to use for almost everything.

| Column | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Date | The working day. |
| At work | The hours actually recorded for you. |
| Expected | The hours your shift expected. |
| Overtime | Time beyond the expectation. |
| Status | Whether the day has been confirmed. |

The status is either **Validated**, meaning someone has confirmed the day, or **Pending
validation**, meaning nobody has looked at it yet. A day may additionally show **Change requested**,
which means you have asked for a correction and it is waiting to be reviewed.

Each row offers **Request a correction**. Once you have used it, the row shows **Awaiting review**
instead, so you can tell at a glance which days you have already raised.

## Punch activity

The raw log behind the daily records: every clock-in and clock-out, with its **Source**.

Use this when a daily total looks wrong and you want to see why. A missing clock-out shows here as
**Still clocked in**.

Where a punch crossed midnight, the date it actually happened on is shown next to the time, so an
overnight shift does not look like a mistake.

## Work record

How each day was counted for payroll.

A day marked **Draft** here has not been finalised yet. **That is not the same as being marked
absent** — it means the calculation is not closed. Days that have no record at all show as **Not
recorded**.

## Filtering

Each view can be narrowed to a date range, which is the quickest way to check a single month before
payroll closes.

## If a day is wrong

See [Requesting a correction](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/attendance/page/requesting-a-correction). Employees do not edit attendance records
directly; corrections go through review, which is what keeps the record trustworthy for payroll.

# Attendance on the mobile app

The **Attendance** tab in the mobile app is where most people record their working time, day to day.

![The Attendance tab, showing the month calendar and recent attendance](https://docs.blueonehr.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/Jt9attendance-on-mobile-attendance-tab.png)

## The month at a glance

The calendar summarises the current month, with a count of the days that were **Present**,
**Absent**, on **Leave**, or a weekly off (**WO**). Each day carries a coloured dot so you can see
the shape of the month without reading a table.

Move between months with the arrows either side of the month name.

## Recent attendance

Below the calendar, the most recent days are listed with the times recorded for them.

Where the app captured a location for a punch, the place is shown against **IN** and **OUT**. This
is a record of where the punch was made, not a judgement about it. How locations are checked against fences is in [How geo-fencing works](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/geo-fence/page/how-geo-fencing-works).

## Requesting a correction

**Request Attendance Regularization** at the top of the tab raises a correction for a day whose
record is wrong. It goes to the same review queue as a correction raised on the web; see
[Requesting a correction](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/attendance/page/requesting-a-correction).

## Site visits

If your role involves working away from your usual place of work, **Site Visits** records those
trips. It is separate from your ordinary daily attendance.

## If a punch does not appear

Give it a moment and pull the screen to refresh: the app and the web share one record, so anything
recorded on your phone should appear in a browser too.

If it is still missing, raise a correction rather than clocking in a second time. A duplicate punch
is harder for HR to unpick than a missing one.

# Requesting a correction

If a day's attendance is wrong — you forgot to clock out, a device did not register your finger, you
worked somewhere without your phone — you ask for it to be corrected. You do not edit the record
yourself.

## Raising a request

From **Attendance → My Attendances**, find the day and choose **Request a correction**. The date is
carried across for you.

You can also start from **Attendance → Attendance Requests → New Attendance Request**, or from
**Request Attendance Regularization** in the mobile app.

*(Screenshot added 2026-09-14, verified live on demo.blueonehr.com — this page predates the
screenshot pipeline built in the P0.5 pass. Note one field not described above: **Minimum Hour**,
seen pre-filled at 00:00 on the live form; its exact effect was not verified in this pass.)*

## What you are asked for

| Field | What to put |
|---|---|
| Attendance date | The day being corrected. |
| Shift | The shift that applied that day. |
| Work type | How you worked that day. |
| Check-in date and time | When you actually started. |
| Check-out date and time | When you actually finished. |
| Worked hours | The hours the corrected times add up to. |
| Description | **Why** the record needs changing. |

The check-in and check-out dates are asked for separately from the times because a shift can cross
midnight. A night shift finishing at 02:00 has a check-out date of the following day, and saying so
is what stops it being read as a sixteen-hour gap.

## Say why

The description is the part a reviewer actually reads. "Forgot to clock out, left at 18:30 after the
client call" is approved quickly. A blank description comes back as a question, which costs you a
day.

## After you submit

The day shows **Change requested**, and the action on the row becomes **Awaiting review**.

Your manager or HR reviews it. If it is approved, the record is updated and validated as normal. If
more information is needed, you will be asked for it.

## Good practice

- **Raise it early.** Corrections are far easier before payroll closes for the month.
- **One request per day.** Raise each affected day separately, so each can be judged on its own.
- **Do not clock in again to compensate.** A second punch on the wrong day creates a second problem.
