This page is for managers. **Employee Attendance Tool** marks attendance for the people you select, on one date. Marking them here does not create pay.

1. Open **HR Tools**, then **Employee Attendance Tool**. The card says **Mark attendance for selected employees.**
2. Under **Employees**, use **Search employees** and select the people. The caption shows how many are selected.
3. Set **Date** and **Status**.
4. Choose **Mark Attendance**.

## What you should see

The page title is **Employee Attendance Tool**. The subtitle is **Select employees and mark attendance for a date.** The side note says **Tool** and **Employee Attendance**.

**Status** is **Present**, **Absent**, **Half Day**, **Work From Home**, or **On Leave**.

After it saves, the notice is **Marked attendance for** the number of employees. Those rows then show on [Attendance records](/hrms/attendance/attendance-log), with **Recorded by** as **Entered**.

## If something looks wrong

**Mark Attendance** stays off until at least one person is selected and **Date** is set.

If nobody is in the list, the page says **No employees yet** and offers **New Employee**. If a search has no match, it says **No employees match your search.**

If the request fails, the notice is **Mark attendance failed**. The people stay unmarked.

This is separate from a clock check-in and from [Build attendance from clock-ins](/hrms/attendance/auto-attendance).
