Fingercheck provides businesses with advanced features that allow them to accurately track their employees' worked hours regardless of challenging time and attendance issues or circumstances. One of these features is automatically generating hours for employees who do not clock in.
In this article, we use salaried employees in this hypothetical example. This article covers only the changes you should make to automatically add hours. For complete details about creating a policy, see How to Create a Schedule Policy.
