Late Clock-In & Missed Clock-Out Workflow
Installing this workflow tells Sense to check every scheduled shift against your employees' clock-in and clock-out records. When someone's late to start or misses clocking out, Sense emails the employee and their manager, and their secondary manager if they have one, straight away, so gaps get picked up the same day rather than at the end of the pay period.
How it works
Set your grace period then let Sense monitor every shift
To use the Late Clock-In & Missed Clock-Out Workflow, simply set the grace period you want applied after scheduled start and end times, and decide whether missed clock-ins and clock-outs should also create a late event in the planner.
Then, every day at 5am, Sense will automatically check which employees are scheduled to work based on their work pattern and any booked time off.
If someone hasn't clocked in shortly after their scheduled start time, or hasn't clocked out within an hour of their scheduled end time, then Sense emails the employee and their manager, and their secondary manager where one is set, to flag it.

Common questions
What kicks this workflow off?
Sense checking, each day at 5am, which employees are scheduled to work based on their work pattern and any booked time off, then following up on missing clock-ins and clock-outs against that list.
Who gets notified?
The employee, their manager, and their secondary manager if that field is populated.
Can we set how long Sense waits before flagging a missing entry?
Yes, the grace period after scheduled start and end times is configurable, along with whether missed entries should create a late event in the planner.
Does this work for employees without a fixed schedule?
No, it needs scheduled start and end times to calculate lateness and missed clock-outs accurately.
What's needed to log a late event in the planner?
A "Late" event type must exist in your Event Manager for Sense to record one automatically.
