CareCentre.io uses a colour-coded system to help managers quickly assess employee clock-in and attendance status. This visual representation makes it easy to identify punctuality, missed clock-ins, and manual adjustments. This guide explains what each colour means and how managers can use it to monitor attendance effectively.

Understanding Colour-Coded Shift Indicators

Each shift displays a colour-coded bar to indicate the attendance status of an employee. The meaning of each colour is outlined below:

1. Green – Clocked In/Out on Time

  • The employee clocked in and out on time as per their scheduled shift.

  • No further action is needed.

2. Amber – Missing Clock-in or Clock-out

  • Either the employee forgot to clock in or clock out.

  • Managers should review and follow up with the employee.

3. Blue – Manager Edited Clock-in or Clock-out

  • A manager manually adjusted the employee’s clock-in or clock-out time.

  • This may happen due to system errors, forgotten punches, or corrections.

4. Red – Late Clock-in or Clock-out

  • The employee clocked in late or clocked out late beyond the allowed timeframe.

  • Managers can investigate and take necessary actions if required.


How Managers Can Use Colour-Coded Shifts

1. Quickly Identify Attendance Issues

  • Scan the rota for Amber or Red shifts to spot attendance problems.

  • Use the Clock Icon to review detailed clock-in/out records.

2. Edit or Adjust Attendance Data

  • If an entry is incorrect, managers can manually edit clock-in/out times, turning the shift Blue.

  • Ensure changes are justified to maintain accurate payroll records.

3. Follow Up on Missed or Late Clock-ins

  • Discuss attendance concerns with employees showing repeated Amber or Red indicators.

  • Encourage punctuality and reinforce attendance policies.
