      Time & Attendance Overview

      Laudio receives time and attendance (T&A) data from your organization through a data feed from your T&A platform. This information is analyzed to identify key trends and surfaced in Laudio as actionable insights for leaders.

      • View time and attendance data in one central location, including unscheduled absences, late clock-ins, and missed punches.

      • Actionable trends surfaced for you as the leader to help you check in with team members.

      Included in Calculations

      • Unscheduled absences: Only the first shift is included if multiple absences occur in a row. If an employee has an unscheduled absence, then works a shift, and later has another unscheduled absence, both absences are counted.

      • Missed punch / No show: Any shift with a missed punch or no show is counted.

      • Arriving late or leaving early: Only shifts outside the department’s standard shift start/end times and associated grace periods are included.

        • If a single shift has both a late arrival and early departure, only the late arrival is shown.

      Excluded from Calculations

      • Any shift with a low census pay code.

      • Any shift where training, administrative, or meeting time accounts for more than 50% of total hours worked.

      • Any shift with Orientation pay codes.

      • Any shift that cannot be matched to a known worked shift (tagged as “Unknown” shift type).

      • Any shift where more than 50% of time is a scheduled absence (e.g., PTO).

      • Any employee who is not currently active (e.g., terminated).

      Matching Worked Shifts to Standard Shifts

      • Actual punch-in/punch-out times are compared to all standard shifts for the employee’s department.

      • Shifts are matched to a standard shift if:

        • The start time is within 60 minutes of the standard shift start time.

        • The end time is no more than 30 minutes early and up to 5 hours later than the standard shift end time.

      • Exception: If a low census pay code is in place, these criteria are ignored.
