This timeout will only work if employees have clocked in and are using option 2 or 3 from "Level of detail to be recorded" parameter.

If No is selected and an employee does not mark his out-time then system will create a pending attendance record, this record is visible to the Manager or HR on Attendance and Leaves > Attendance Approvals > Missing Out-time tab.

Official hours / Days worked definition
SB - Shift Beginning Time
SE - Shift Ending Time
This table is exclusively used to define the way Days Worked, Shift Hours and Official Hours are calculated and reported in Hours Worked Report. Click here to refer to the article on report write-up.

Days Worked - In the first row you can select which of the status will be added in the Days Worked. Multiple Status refers to days when the employee's attendance status is a mix of two or more status like 0.5 day present + 0.5 day leave. The shift hours for a day are also calculated on the same basis as Days Worked.  For example if a company has 9 am to 6 pm shift and an employee is on half day leave and is present for half day and Multiple Status box is selected against "Days Worked" then the Shift Hours will be equal to 9 hours. If the box is not selected then Shift Hours will be zero.

Official Hours - In the second row you can select the status which would be added to arrive at the Official Hours number.

Official Hours Basis - Official hours can be calculated on the basis of In / Out times or on the basis of Shift Begin / Shift End times. You can select one of the two options in the last row of the table.

1. Late coming allowance : the time entered here is added to the stipulated shift start time and only if an employee comes later than this time an alert will be sent to the employee and his manager on the next day if the employee has come later. The allowance entered here does not impact the late calculation shown in Attendance reports
   
2. Late Warning Letter : this is a separate feature and allows HR Manager to issue warning letters for late coming if this parameter is activated. You can define the number of incidences beyond which the letters could be issued
   In attendance reports late coming can be seen even without activating this parameter.
