Once your policies are built and linked to contracts, the final step is monitoring the data. This article explains how to view holiday information in attendance reports and how to make sure your global team's non-working days are tracked accurately for payroll.
Viewing holidays in the attendance report
The Detailed Attendance report is the main place to see how a site policy affects an employee's month.
- Go to Reports > Detailed Attendance.
- Select the employee and the date range.
- Look for the visual indicator: any day defined in a site policy is highlighted (usually in a different color, such as yellow or light blue) to distinguish it from a regular workday.
- Check the label: the name you gave the rule (for example, "Good Friday") appears in the Comments or Day Note column.
Verifying the holiday quota
To make sure the payroll logic works, check the Standard Hours and Total Worked columns:
- If the employee stayed home, the worked hours are 0, but the standard hours column shows the hours defined in the contract (for example, 8:00).
- If the employee worked, you see their actual punch in/out times alongside the holiday label, so you can check whether they earned holiday overtime rates.
Filtering reports by site policy
Filter the report to a specific regional group to see who worked during a local holiday, for example which members of the "Cyprus Team" worked during a local bank holiday.
Exporting data for payroll
When you are ready to send data to your payroll software or accountant:
- Click Export (CSV or Excel).
- The exported file includes a dedicated column for holiday hours.
- Audit trail: because the holiday name is attached to the date, your accounting team has a clear record of why an employee received extra pay or credit for that day.
Tip for managers
Before the end of the month, scan the Detailed Attendance report. If you see a holiday that is not highlighted, that employee's contract is not yet linked to a site policy. See Creating and managing site-specific policies.
