Phase 2 Time & Attendance Feature

This Phase 2 Time & Attendance Feature is only available in GTX 5.8.1 or later.

Marlin GTX enables managers and payroll officers to record and review context-specific notes directly against staff attendance entries.

Atendance notes can be recorded against individual attendance events and can be viewed as part of the attendance summary in any linked HR systems.

Unlike staff notes, attendance notes are also visible in HR, so that the payroll can be adjusted accordingly.

Example

If a staff member had to leave work early on a particular day due to a personal issue, and therefore interrupted their usual schedule, you can leave a note for the payroll officer using attendance summary notes.

Adding Attendance Notes

Main > Staff > Manage Attendance

Attendance notes can be recorded from within the Attendance Maintenance module (Main > Staff > Manage Attendance)

To record a note against attendance event:

  • Select the staff member in the Attendance Maintenance list
  • Click on the Summary tab in the section on the right
  • Click on the Note button on the far right:
  • Add new Note Details pop-up will open
  • Add note Summary and Details

A tick in the box next to the Notes button indicates a note has been added for this attendance event.

Tip
