ROSTER & TIME ATTENDANCE SKILL

To manage staff rosters and track time attendance, you can plan employee shifts, apply recurring roster templates to date ranges, and record actual clock-in/clock-out times against planned hours via backend APIs and a PostgreSQL database.

Yes, you can apply pre-defined roster templates to specific date ranges. This allows you to quickly generate recurring weekly staff schedules instead of creating individual shifts manually each time.

Actual clock-in and clock-out tracking records real employee worked hours and compares them against planned shift schedules. This highlights discrepancies between scheduled roster hours and actual attendance data.

Yes, a PostgreSQL database is required. The skill interacts with backend APIs connected to PostgreSQL to execute CRUD operations for storing shift templates, planned rosters, and actual time attendance records.

The best way to track actual versus planned hours is by creating weekly shifts using roster templates, then capturing actual employee clock-in and clock-out records to compare against those scheduled shifts.

Roster templates streamline recurring shift creation but require backend API interaction and a PostgreSQL database. Complex scheduling changes or non-recurring attendance exceptions may need manual shift adjustments outside the standard template application.
