Approval Workflow

Late pass requests follow a simple approval process:

1

Employee Submits

The employee or manager creates a late pass request with the date, minutes, and reason.

2

Manager Reviews

The manager reviews the request and decides to approve or reject it.

3

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:

StatusWithout Late PassWith Approved Late Pass
StatusMarked as LateMarked as On Time
DeductionLate deduction appliedNo deduction
ReportCounts as late in reportsExcluded 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.
