Getting started with Attendance
Attendance records when people are meant to work and when they actually did — schedules, check-ins, breaks, overtime, leave, absences and the corrections that keep the record honest. It feeds payroll…
Read article →The Attendance dashboard
The dashboard is the daily overview: how attendance is tracking, where absences are, and what needs looking at — without opening a report. Two minutes here each morning replaces most of the questions…

Approving attendance and leave requests
Approvals is the queue of everything waiting on a decision from you — attendance corrections and leave, in one place. On a system that feeds payroll, this queue is the control: it is where someone…
Read article →Checking in and out
Checking in creates the time log that proves you worked. This article is for employees: how the four actions work, what happens when you are offline or away from your branch, and what to do when a…
Read article →Checkpoints and geo-tracking
For work that happens away from a desk, KAMI records where a check-in happened, not only when. Checkpoints and geo-tracking are the two views of that, and they answer different questions.
Read article →Correcting attendance: amendment requests
Attendance records go wrong — a device misses a tap, someone forgets to check out, a day is scheduled against the wrong activity. Amendments are how they get put right: on the record, with a reason…
Read article →Events: the attendance record
An event is one person on one day: the activity they were scheduled for, and what actually happened. The Events page is every one of those records in a table you can filter, fix and bulk-edit — the…
Read article →How timekeeping is calculated
This is the article to read when a number looks wrong. It explains how KAMI turns check-ins into paid hours: what counts as work, how tardiness is measured, when a day becomes an absence, and — the…
Read article →KAMI ClockSmart
ClockSmart is KAMI's tablet check-in app: employees clock in and out at a device by the door, identified by face and optionally a passcode. It exists because a shared device at the entrance is the…
Read article →Offline and remote check-ins
Not every check-in happens at the office with a working connection. KAMI records both cases, flags them so a manager can see the circumstances, and — where you want it — holds them for approval…
Read article →Requesting and amending leave
Booking leave, and putting it right when plans change. Written for employees requesting their own leave and for the managers and admins who amend it afterwards.
Read article →Time logs
Time logs are the raw taps — every check-in, check-out, break out and break in, as recorded. Where an event is KAMI's interpretation of a day, the time log is the underlying evidence, and it is where…
Read article →Timesheet
The timesheet is the period's hours per person — scheduled against actual, with the deductions and premiums that make up a payslip. It is the handover point between Attendance and payroll, and the…

Event templates
An event template is a reusable day: an activity, its times, break, thresholds and overtime behaviour, saved so you can schedule it without re-entering the details every time.
Read article →Open shifts
An open shift is a shift published without an assignee, for people to claim. Instead of deciding who covers Saturday and telling them, you post it and let the people who want it apply.
Read article →Shifts
A shift is a working pattern — when work starts and ends, whether breaks are tracked, how much flexibility is allowed, and the thresholds that decide whether a day counts as tardy, half-day or…
Read article →Standard and dynamic schedules
A schedule is what tells KAMI when someone is expected to work — and therefore what their attendance is judged against. There are two ways to set one, and choosing wrongly is the most common cause of…
Read article →The team calendar
The team calendar is the visual view of who is working when — daily, weekly or monthly — and the place most scheduling actually gets done. It is also the fastest way to see coverage gaps before they…
Read article →Reports
Attendance reports
The reports answer the questions the day-to-day screens cannot: not "was Maria late on Tuesday" but "is lateness getting worse, and where". They are also where data-quality problems become visible…
Read article →Event tracker
The event tracker follows attendance records through their states — what has been raised, what is waiting, what has been settled. Where the Events page shows you the records themselves, the tracker…
Read article →Leave balances and accrual
A leave balance is not a number someone types in — it is calculated from the policy: how often leave accrues, from when, capped at what, and what carried over from last year. This article explains…
Read article →Settings
Activities and how they pay
An activity is what a block of time is — regular work, overtime, night shift, a type of leave — and how it is paid. Activities are where attendance turns into money, which makes this the most…
Read article →Attendance settings on an employee profile
Most attendance behaviour is set company-wide, on shifts and activities. But some settings belong to the person: their expected working hours, whether they must check in at all, how much lateness…
Read article →Attendance user rights
Attendance rights decide who can see whose attendance, who can change it, and who can approve it. They matter more than most permissions because attendance feeds payroll: the ability to amend an…
Read article →Attendance validation rules
Validation rules check attendance data against conditions you define, so problems surface where they are cheap to fix rather than at payroll. They catch the records that are technically valid but…
Read article →Calendar rules and the attendance lock
Calendar rules are the company-wide behaviours of Attendance: how long the past stays editable, what kinds of correction people may raise, and how shifts and leave behave. Small settings with a wide…
Read article →Emergency leave allowance and leave cycles
Emergency leave allowance covers the leave people cannot plan: they were ill, something happened, and they are telling you afterwards rather than asking beforehand. Rather than refusing it or…
Read article →Holiday rules
Holiday rules tell KAMI which days are holidays, what class each one is, and where it applies. Because holiday class drives holiday pay automatically, this page has a direct line to payroll — and in…
Read article →Importing leave data
When you move to KAMI mid-year, people arrive with leave already earned and leave already taken. Importing brings both across, so balances are right from day one rather than starting everyone at zero…
Read article →Leave conversion and encashment
Leave conversion turns unused leave into something else — most often money, sometimes another leave type. It is how "use it or lose it" becomes "use it, bank it, or be paid for it", and because the…
Read article →Leave types and policies
A leave type in KAMI is an activity — the same object that defines working time, configured to be requestable and to accrue a balance. That is why leave shows up on the same calendar, in the same…
