Teacher Attendance​

This area controls whether teachers can access attendance, set check-in rules, and define penalties or grace periods. The following example matches the admin UI in the screenshots.

Attendance rules affect payroll and automated penalties; review values carefully before enabling.

Add / Edit Attendance Rule​

Use the Add Attendance Rule modal to set Start/End time, grace minutes, and penalty amounts. Example form values:

Start Time: 09:00    End Time: 16:00
Late Grace (mins): 30
Early Leave Grace (mins): 15
Absent Early Leave (mins): 240
Late Penalty Amount: 50
Half Day Penalty Amount: 500
Absent Penalty Amount: 1000

Actions: Add Rule · Edit Rule · View Details

Active Rule Preview​

The active rule preview shows the applied times and penalties. Use the "View Details" button to open a detailed modal with cards for each value (late grace, half-day, penalties).
