Attendance Overview

Attendance in Busiman isn't just a single "check in" button. It's built to answer a harder question honestly: was this person actually at work, and can we prove it without making them do extra paperwork?

There are four ways a check-in can be recorded:

Source	What it means
Mobile	Self check-in/out from the employee's own phone
Desktop	Check-in from the Busiman desktop app
Gate	Automatic, via a Bluetooth beacon device at the office entrance
Web	Check-in from a browser session

And two ways it gets trusted:

• Network-verified — the employee's phone was able to reach the office's local network while checking in, which is treated as strong proof of being on-site.
• Remote, with approval — the employee wasn't on the office network, so they submit a reason and a manager has to approve it before it counts as official attendance.

Tip: If you only read one of these, read Self Check-in & Check-out — it covers the check-in/check-out cycle that everything else builds on.
