You may need to generate a report of all employees who were or are absent within a specified period. This article will guide you through the steps to obtain this information using two different methods depending on the type of absences you're looking for: requested or unrequested.


Exception report for unrequested absences

If you're looking for a report showing employees who have an unrequested absence, you will first need to set up an exception policy for missed punches. Once the exception policy is set up, you can create an exception report that filters missed punch exceptions.

  1. Log in to Fingercheck as an Administrator.

  2. Hover your mouse over Reports.

  3. Select the report category you would like to share with your employees.

  4. Select the Custom tab.

  5. Locate the EMEX - Exceptions report and click Select.

  6. Enter a short description for the Code.

  7. Click Start.

  8. Add the fields from the left to include in the report by dragging and dropping.

  9. Click the Filter icon to filter the report.

  10. Click Add a Filter.

  11. Select Code from the Field Selection drop-down menu.

  12. Click Add.

  13. Enter “MissedPunches”.

  14. Click Run Report.

  15. Select the Dates and Employees, and click Preview or Download to save the report.


Absence report for requested absence

If you're looking for approved absences requested by employees, you can run a report of the approved absence requests.

  1. Log in to Fingercheck as an Administrator.

  2. Hover your mouse over Reports and select Attendance.

  3. Locate the Absence Requests report and click Run Report.

  4. Select the Dates and Employees, and click Preview or Download to save the report.
