Attendance, a geo-fence, and leave for a distributed project team

Continuing from Branches, departments, and job positions: a multi-site company: Meridian Interiors runs project teams out of two offices, Mumbai HQ and a Hyderabad regional office. This page follows one person on that Hyderabad team through three screens that all read from the same record: his attendance, a geo-fence for the site he works from, and a leave request someone else approves.

One person, one attendance record

Attendance in BlueOneHR is one record per person per day — clock in, clock out, a shift, a work type, and a validated status — the same record whether the person works from the head office or a regional site. This page does not re-teach the attendance screens themselves: see Requesting a correction and Reviewing and validating attendance for the full procedure.

A geo-fence, assigned to the person who works there

The Geo-Fence screen defines a named point with a radius, independent of the company's branch list. A geo-fence is not assigned to a branch directly — it is scoped to a department, a team (job position), an employee group, or an individual employee, and it applies nowhere until one of those assignments exists. For a distributed team, assigning a fence to the specific person working from a regional site is the direct way to represent "this is where they clock in from." See How geo-fencing works for the screens themselves.

Leave, requested and approved by someone else

Applying for leave and approving it are two different actions, by two different people, every time — the person who raises a request can never also approve it. Casual Leave is a company's own leave type with its own day count; approving a request only succeeds if the balance covers it, and the balance updates the moment it's approved, not before. See Applying for leave and Approving and rejecting leave for the full procedure.
