Attendance Regularization

Purpose - Corrects a missed or wrong punch on a past date so that the employee is properly recorded as present. 

Who Can Use It 

• School Admin: regularizes individual dates or in a batch, subject to a monthly credit limit.
• DHE / Platform Admin: performs credit-free batch regularization for any school.
• Employees: view their monthly credit count and history. 

Key Capabilities 

• Single-date regularization with a reason, and optional custom punch-in / punch-out times. Batch regularization across multiple dates in one call. 
• Monthly credit consumption for school-admin regularizations (one credit per date). DHE regularizations consume zero credits. 
• Retrieval of the current monthly regularization count for an employee. 

• Distinct request-type labels ("ADMIN_OVERRIDE" or "DHE_OVERRIDE") on the resulting attendance rows so reviewers can tell them apart.  

How to Use It

• School Admin opens the employee's history for the month, picks the date(s), and submits a regularization with a reason and optional times. 
• The credits used are deducted from the school-wide monthly limit for that employee. The employee can see the updated attendance on their calendar and their regularization credit count. 
• When the monthly credit ceiling is reached, further regularizations are refused for that month. 
• A DHE can perform batch regularization at any time without consuming credits.

Rules & Restrictions 

• The monthly credit limit is set globally by DHE (default is five). 
• One credit is deducted per regularized date, regardless of whether one or both punches are being corrected. 
• The reason field is required.
