Approval Workflow
Late pass requests follow a simple approval process:
Employee Submits
The employee or manager creates a late pass request with the date, minutes, and reason.
Manager Reviews
The manager reviews the request and decides to approve or reject it.
Attendance Updated
If approved, the late minutes are excused in the attendance record and deductions are waived.
Effect on Attendance
An approved late pass changes how the attendance system treats the tardiness:
| Status | Without Late Pass | With Approved Late Pass |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Marked as Late | Marked as On Time |
| Deduction | Late deduction applied | No deduction |
| Report | Counts as late in reports | Excluded from late reports |
Example: Sara was 20 minutes late due to a flat tire. Her manager creates a late pass for 20 minutes.
Once approved, Sara's attendance record shows On Time, no deduction is applied, and the late minutes are excluded from reports.
