In certain cases, you may notice that an employee’s punch is recorded for the previous day instead of the current one. This is not an error but a result of how the Attendance Shift is configured in the system.
Understanding “Start of Day”
Each shift has a Start of Day setting that defines when a new attendance day begins.
- By default, this is set to 12:00 AM (midnight).
- Any punch after this time is counted for the current day.
- Any punch before this time is recorded for the previous day.
Example Scenario
Let’s take the following shift setup:
- Shift Timings: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Start of Day: 6:00 AM
Based on this configuration:
- A punch at 8:15 AM → counted for the current day
- A punch at 5:55 AM → counted for the previous day
- A punch at 12:30 AM (next day) → also counted for the previous day
This setup helps accurately track attendance for employees working night shifts or extended hours.

This helps ensure that punches are tracked based on real working hours and not just the calendar day
