Overview

The Time & Attendance module in HCMatrix helps you track employee work hours, manage time-off requests, and monitor attendance patterns. This module is currently under development with enhanced features coming soon.

​
Accessing Attendance

1

Navigate to Attendance Module

Access the Time & Attendance page from the main navigation sidebar. The system automatically validates your authentication:
// From: ~/workspace/source/app/attendance/page.tsx:12-16
useEffect(() => {
  if (!auth.getToken()) {
    router.push('/auth/login')
  }
}, [router])
2

Authentication Check

The module requires a valid authentication token. If you’re not logged in, you’ll be redirected to the login page automatically.

​
Current Implementation

The attendance module is built with a modern, responsive layout: 
// From: ~/workspace/source/app/attendance/page.tsx:18-31
return (
  <div className="min-h-screen bg-gray-50">
    <Sidebar />
    <div className="ml-64 flex flex-col min-h-screen">
      <Header title="Time & Attendance" />
      <main className="flex-1 p-8">
        <div className="bg-white rounded-lg border border-gray-200 p-8 text-center">
          <p className="text-gray-600">Time & Attendance module coming soon...</p>
        </div>
      </main>
    </div>
  </div>
)
The Time & Attendance module is currently under development. Enhanced features for tracking employee hours, managing shifts, and processing time-off requests are being implemented.

​
Planned Features

The upcoming Time & Attendance module will include:

​
Clock In/Out Functionality

Authentication & Security

Attendance tracking requires proper authentication:

if (!token) {
  router.push('/auth/login')
  return
}
Always ensure you’re logged in with appropriate permissions before accessing attendance data. Unauthorized access attempts are logged and monitored.

​
Best Practices

When the attendance module launches, follow these best practices:

​
For Employees

  • Clock in/out at the start and end of each shift
  • Submit time-off requests in advance
  • Report discrepancies immediately to your manager
  • Keep the mobile app updated for best performance

​
For Managers

  • Review and approve timecards promptly
  • Monitor attendance patterns for team health
  • Address chronic lateness or absenteeism early
  • Export time data before payroll deadlines

​
For HR Administrators

  • Configure attendance policies accurately
  • Set up automated alerts for attendance issues
  • Regularly audit attendance data
  • Maintain backup records for compliance

​
API Integration

When available, the attendance API will follow the same patterns as other HCMatrix modules: 
// Example future API structure
export const api = {
  // Clock in/out
  async clockIn(token: string, employeeId: number): Promise<ClockRecord> {
    return apiCall<ClockRecord>('/api/v1/attendance/clock-in', 'POST', 
      { employee_id: employeeId }, token)
  },

  // Get attendance records
  async getAttendance(
    token: string,
    employeeId: number,
    startDate: string,
    endDate: string
  ): Promise<AttendanceRecord[]> {
    const params = { employee_id: employeeId, start_date: startDate, end_date: endDate }
    const queryString = new URLSearchParams(params).toString()
    return apiCall<AttendanceRecord[]>(
      `/api/v1/attendance?${queryString}`,
      'GET',
      undefined,
      token
    )
  },

  // Submit time-off request
  async requestTimeOff(
    token: string,
    employeeId: number,
    startDate: string,
    endDate: string,
    reason: string
  ): Promise<TimeOffRequest> {
    return apiCall<TimeOffRequest>('/api/v1/time-off/request', 'POST',
      { employee_id: employeeId, start_date: startDate, end_date: endDate, reason },
      token
    )
  }
}

​
Data Structures

Planned data interfaces for attendance: 
export interface ClockRecord {
  id: number
  employee_id: number
  clock_in: string
  clock_out?: string
  break_duration?: number
  location?: string
  ip_address?: string
  device_type?: string
}

export interface AttendanceRecord {
  id: number
  employee_id: number
  date: string
  status: 'present' | 'absent' | 'late' | 'half_day'
  hours_worked: number
  overtime_hours?: number
  notes?: string
}

export interface TimeOffRequest {
  id: number
  employee_id: number
  start_date: string
  end_date: string
  type: 'vacation' | 'sick' | 'personal' | 'other'
  status: 'pending' | 'approved' | 'rejected'
  reason: string
  approver_id?: number
  approved_at?: string
}
