Odoo 19 Attendances records when employees start and finish work and compares it with their working schedule. Employees can check in from the systray, the mobile browser or a shared kiosk, and managers get a clear view of presence and extra hours. These are the questions we receive most often.
The most asked Attendances topics
- Kiosk mode: a shared tablet at the entrance lets employees check in by scanning a badge or selecting their name with a PIN.
- Mobile check-in and location: when employees check in from a device, Odoo can record the location and IP address for each attendance.
- Extra hours: Odoo compares attendances with the working schedule and calculates extra hours, with tolerance settings.
- Approval: managers can review attendances and approve or refuse extra hours before they are used.
- Payroll and time off: with Enterprise Payroll, attendance can drive work entries, and extra hours can be used for compensation.
Practical setup tips
- Make sure every employee has the right working schedule and time zone before going live.
- Print employee badges from the employee form if you use kiosk scanning, and require a PIN where buddy punching is a concern.
- Agree on a tolerance for late arrivals and early departures so small differences do not create noise.
