Making Sure the Shift Is Covered
The operational problem attendance tracking exists to solve. Knowing early, and having somewhere to go when you find out late.
Procedure
Covering the work

No-Shows
Someone simply does not arrive. The immediate response, and the fact that the most common explanation is the least dramatic.
Procedure
Lateness
Usually a logistics problem wearing a conduct costume. What to record, what it normally means, and when it is something else.
Analysis
Rotas and Attendance Together
The rota says who should be there; attendance says who was. Keeping both without maintaining two systems.
Analysis
Remote and Hybrid Teams
Attendance changes meaning when nobody is in a building. What still needs recording, and what stops being a question.
Analysis
When One Absence Breaks the Day

Analysis
More Than One Site
Two locations turn attendance from something one person knows into something that needs a shared record.
