How to unassign attendance penalisation policy for an employee?

Learn how to unassign an attendance tracking policy for an employee in Keka HRMS. Easily manage and update employee attendance settings.

The attendance penalisation policy encompasses rules regarding employees' punctuality, productive work hours, leave applications, and more. It is designed to ensure discipline and policy adherence. However, there are situations where certain employees, especially senior management, may not require attendance tracking based on specific scenarios. In Keka, administrators have the flexibility to un-assign the attendance penalisation policy for these employees.

To remove the attendance penalisation policy for an employee, follow the steps below:

Open employee's profile by searching their name on the Global Search bar. Go to the Job tab.

Once you open the Job tab, scroll down and go to the Employee Time section where you will find the Attendance penalisation Policy field. Click on the edit icon beside the field to edit it.

Once you click on Edit, a window appears where you can check the box of the option 'Employee is no longer part of any tracking policy'. 

Also, click on the 'Effective From' option, and select the effective date from which the employee will not be tracked. If, there is any specific end date, then click on the 'Effective up to' tab and select the date from the calendar, else, select the check box of 'No end date yet'.  

Then add the Note regarding this change and click on Update (2).

Once you click on Update, the Attendance Tracking Policy will be shown as -Not Set- which means that the employee's attendance will not be tracked and the employee will not be penalised for attendance misses. 

Once the tracking policy is unassigned for any employee, the employee will also stop receiving Email triggers related to the tracking of attendance and employee will still be able to mark his attendance on daily basis.
