Staff Presence Portal - Employee Attendance Management System

The Staff Presence Portal is a comprehensive employee attendance management solution that empowers portal users (employees) to create and manage their attendance entries directly through the Odoo portal interface. This module transforms the traditional attendance tracking process by providing employees with a user-friendly, self-service platform to record their check-in and check-out times, view attendance history, and track worked hours without requiring access to the main Odoo backend system.

The application seamlessly integrates with Odoo's HR Attendance module, allowing employees to create new attendance records with check-in and check-out times directly from the portal. The portal interface is designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, enabling staff to quickly log their attendance with essential details including date, check-in time, and check-out time. This eliminates the need for manual data entry by HR or managers and ensures real-time visibility of employee attendance patterns.

The system features an intuitive form-based interface where employees can create new attendance entries with just a few clicks. The built-in validation functionality prevents overlapping attendance records and ensures data integrity. All attendance entries are automatically linked to the employee's record, ensuring proper tracking and reporting. The portal maintains full compatibility with Odoo's standard attendance workflow, allowing seamless integration with existing HR processes, payroll calculations, and overtime tracking.

The module provides a complete portal experience with breadcrumb navigation, advanced search functionality, filtering options, and responsive design that works seamlessly across desktop and mobile devices. Employees can view their historical attendance entries with detailed information including worked hours, overtime hours, and validated overtime hours. They can filter records by various time periods (Today, This Week, This Month, This Quarter, This Year, Last Week, Last Month, Last Quarter, Last Year), search by date, group by date, and sort by newest or oldest entries. This self-service approach significantly reduces administrative overhead, improves data accuracy, and empowers employees to take ownership of their attendance tracking responsibilities.

The result is a streamlined, efficient attendance management system that bridges the gap between employees and HR managers. By enabling direct portal access for attendance entry, organizations can achieve better attendance tracking accuracy, faster data collection, and improved visibility into employee presence patterns while maintaining the security and structure of Odoo's integrated HR ecosystem.
