How to configure settings to mark employees as no show if they have not completed the minimum number of working hours?

Learn how to configure settings in Keka HRMS to mark employees as absent if they haven’t completed the minimum number of working hours for the day.

    Organizations may need employees to work a minimum number of hours to ensure they can meet the demands of the business. Also setting a minimum number of working hours can ensure that employees receive a consistent and fair compensation package. 


    Keka allows you to configure settings to mark employees as absent if they have not completed the minimum number of working hours. 


    To do so, navigate to Time Attend (1), then go to Attendance tracking (2) and open the Penalisation Policy(3) tab.

    Select the relevant policy and go to the Versions (4) section. Now click on the Update icon (5) to open the Update Penalisation Policy window. 



    In the Basic Information step, choose the effective date for the new settings, which will create a new version of the policy. Click on Save.


    Now go to No attendance section and toggle the switch to enable/disable it. Decide to Deduct X day(s) leave for every day of no attendance.

    Next, enable Employee working less than X Effective/Gross Hours will be considered as no show and you can set a minimum number of Gross/Effective Hours that an employee has to work to be considered present for the day. Finally click Save.
