Frequently asked questions

Facility managers can track attendance across multiple buildings by adding every location into one attendance system. Attendance Rota lets managers view all clock-ins from one dashboard, so they can immediately see which staff have arrived, which site they are working at, and whether anyone is late. This removes the need to collect attendance separately from each property.
A practical option is a tablet or mobile attendance system that works across different properties. Attendance Rota allows cleaners to clock in using a mounted tablet at a building entrance or through the staff mobile app when moving between jobs. Because everything feeds into one live attendance screen, managers can track site coverage more easily.
The attendance dashboard updates live as staff clock in and out. As soon as a cleaner, caretaker, security guard, or engineer starts work, their attendance appears in the system. Managers can filter by location and quickly see who is currently on duty.
Yes. GPS rules can be applied so staff must be within a set distance of the property before clock-in is accepted. For example, a cleaner may need to be within 100 metres of the building before the system allows attendance. This helps stop early clock-ins from home or from another site.
Security staff can clock in using facial recognition, fingerprint, swipe card, or mobile app. Each attendance entry records the exact start time, giving clear proof that the guard arrived and started duty at the expected time.
Yes. Different staff roles can all be added into the same system. Each person can have their own shift pattern, location, and attendance method, while managers still see everything together in one view.
Attendance Rota uses location validation to stop clock-ins outside the approved area. If a worker is not close enough to the assigned building, the system will reject the clock-in attempt and show that they are outside the allowed range.
Yes. Engineers can use the mobile app to clock in and out while moving between jobs. This is useful for reactive maintenance teams who visit different buildings during the day.
Mobile teams can use the staff app while managers track attendance centrally. Because multiple locations are supported, businesses can monitor attendance across all client properties without switching systems.
Attendance Rota includes shift scheduling where managers can assign shifts in bulk, view future coverage, and adjust rotas quickly when staffing changes happen. Multiple shifts can be assigned at once, which is useful for larger FM contracts.
Staff can submit sickness requests directly through the mobile app, and managers can approve or decline them from the admin side. Doctor’s notes can also be attached if company policy requires it.
Yes. Because shifts are already assigned inside the system, managers can compare actual attendance against planned start times and quickly spot lateness or missing staff.
Digital attendance records reduce manual entry errors because clock-in and clock-out times are captured automatically. These records can then be used for payroll exports, helping payroll teams work from cleaner data.
Yes. Subcontractors can be added as staff records and assigned attendance methods just like permanent employees, making contractor control easier on larger property contracts.
Attendance reports provide clear records showing who attended, when they arrived, and how long they stayed. This helps when clients request evidence for cleaning, security, or maintenance visits.
The most commonly used reports are attendance reports, sickness reports, holiday records, and location-based attendance summaries. Custom reports can also be created if a contract needs something more specific.
Clock-out times are recorded alongside clock-in times, so managers can see whether staff completed the full shift or left earlier than expected.
Yes. GPS attendance adds location proof to mobile clock-ins, which helps managers know staff were physically near the assigned building when they started work.
Yes. A smaller FM company may use one tablet at one site, while larger providers can run many locations together. The same system scales without changing the way attendance is managed.
Because attendance is stored digitally, managers can access reports quickly whenever a client, auditor, or compliance review asks for attendance history. Reports can also be filtered by location, staff member, or time period.
