Late Check-In
Approval

Don't compromise between operational efficiency and compliance. Our new Exception Management feature intercepts late check-ins, routing them directly to administrators for review before finalizing the timesheet.

When a staff member attempts to check in after the configured grace period, the record is placed on hold and flagged as an attendance exception. This creates a structured, transparent process for handling late arrivals—allowing managers to review justifications and enforce policy in real-time.

How Exception Routing Works

A structured, transparent process for handling late arrivals.

1. Late Arrival Detected

SOJA TA detects check-ins past the grace period and automatically flags them as an exception, placing the record in a pending review state.

2. Instant Manager Alerts

Real-time notifications route the pending check-in directly to authorized managers, prompting them to review the late arrival.

3. Exception Review

Admins securely review the employee's justification via the web dashboard or mobile app, and either approve or reject the check-in based on policy.

4. Live Status Tracking

Employees track their review status directly from the Kiosk or App—eliminating messy, manual follow-ups and verbal excuses.
