Quick answer

The Attendance module in Easedesk lets you track work hours. Web + biometric integration, shift-aware, and overtime + late marks — all in one place, designed for Indian SMEs.

What is the Attendance module?

The Attendance module in Easedesk ERP is built for Indian businesses that need to track work hours without juggling spreadsheets or stitching together multiple tools. It is part of Easedesk's 50+ module unified platform.

It is included in every Easedesk subscription (subject to plan availability) and works out-of-the-box with sensible Indian defaults — INR currency, April–March fiscal year, GST-aware pricing, and Indian compliance.

Key features

Attendance ships with the following capabilities:

  • Web + biometric integration
  • Shift-aware
  • Overtime + late marks
  • Leave-linked

Who should use it?

Teams that work hours regularly will get the most value. Common users include HR managers, payroll admins and team leads.

Why teams choose Easedesk for this

Compared to standalone tools, Easedesk's Attendance module gives you:

  • Accurate payroll inputs
  • Catch policy gaps
  • Mobile check-in

Permissions required

Access to Attendance is controlled by the Easedesk RBAC system. By default, the predefined roles that include access are typically Admin, HR Manager and the Viewer role (read-only). Owners can edit role permissions in Settings → Users & Roles.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Attendance module do in Easedesk?
It lets you track work hours from a single place inside Easedesk, with Indian-format defaults (INR, GST, April fiscal year) and audit-grade history.
Is Attendance included in my Easedesk plan?
Attendance is part of Easedesk's 50+ module platform and is available subject to your subscription plan. Most plans include it by default — check Settings → Billing for what your plan covers.
Who can access Attendance?
Access is governed by role-based permissions. By default, Owner and Admin roles have full access; module-specific predefined roles (e.g. HR Manager for HR, Accountant for Finance) grant scoped access. You can customise this in Settings → Users & Roles.
Can Attendance be disabled if my team doesn't need it?
Yes. Owners can disable any non-mandatory module under Settings → Modules. Disabled modules are hidden from the sidebar but their data is preserved if you re-enable later.
Where does Attendance data come from?
Data is created either manually from the in-app forms, imported via CSV, ingested through the Easedesk API, or auto-generated from other modules (for example, journal entries created automatically when an invoice is posted).
