What this report shows
Attendance Exceptions lists scheduled and time-entry situations that usually need manager review:
- Absent scheduled day
- Missing clock-out
- Unscheduled work
- Short scheduled day
- Long scheduled day
Each row shows Date, Employee, Severity, Issue, Scheduled, Worked, Variance, and Time. Severity is Blocker or Warning.
When the selected period has approval data, a status line above the report shows whether timesheets are approved, not approved, or partly approved.
Filters
Use the date range, All employees, and All issues controls in the toolbar. The report uses each employee's work schedule to decide which days were scheduled and how many minutes were expected.
What to do with a row
The report is read-only. Use it to find the item that needs review, then open Time entries, Approvals, or Employees depending on whether the issue is a bad time entry, an approval state, or a schedule setup question.
Exporting

Common questions
- Why does the report not show late arrivals or early departures?
Clockspot work schedules store expected minutes by weekday, not shift start and end times. The report can compare scheduled minutes with worked minutes, but it does not infer arrival or departure rules.
- A day is marked Absent scheduled day but the employee was on time off.
Check the employee's time off entry for that date on Time Off Entries. This report focuses on scheduled work and clocked time; time off totals are easier to review in Time Off Usage & Balances.
- Why does a missing clock-out matter before payroll?
An open entry can keep completed hours from being final. Fix the entry on Time entries before relying on period totals.
