The Attendance Points feature allows employees to receive points when they post “penalty events” (Late Arrival, Early Departure, No Show, and Short Day). Employees can also be assigned a disciplinary level based on the number of points they accumulate, and the employee’s supervisor can be notified automatically of the level change.
The Points tab on the Employee form is used to view and manage a person's penalty points.
In order for an employee to automatically receive points when posting a penalty event:
The Attendance Points module must be licensed and enabled.
The employee’s Attendance Policy must have Points Enabled selected.
The penalty event (Early Departure, Late Arrival, No Show, Short Day) must be enabled in the Attendance Policy.
The penalty event's Points setting in the Attendance Policy must indicate the number of points to apply.
The DISCIPLINARY_LEVELS task of the ATTENDANCE service can be used to determine a person’s point level and which supervisors will be notified of the point and level changes. If you are using the DISCIPLINARY_LEVELS task, you must configure the Attendance Levels of the Attendance Policy.
Penalty points can also be applied when an event has a MANUAL_POINTS setting. The number of points defined in this event setting are applied when the event is posted to the timecard using the Add Elapsed or Replace Punch options.
Note: If a penalty event was triggered via the client terminal or Web Time Clock, the LABOR_ALL_MT service must run before points will show.

The Attendance Points feature requires the following:
You must have the Attendance Points module included in your license file.
The Attendance Points module must be enabled.

The Points tab on the Employee form is used to view and manage a person's penalty points. These penalty points can be applied automatically when a penalty event (Late Arrival, Early Departure, and so on) is posted or an event with the MANUAL_POINTS setting is posted.
You can also import penalty points for a specific employee, post date, and event name.
Create a .csv file with the employees and penalty points you want to import. This file must include the employee/person number, post date, and number of points. You can also include the event name.
Use the Import Definition form to create an import with the Attendance Points context. The required fields are Employee/Person Number, Post Date, and Points.
Configure an instance of the IMPORT_FILES service that includes your Attendance Points import.
You can run the IMPORT_FILES service via a schedule, or you can run it immediately using the Service Monitor form, or the Schedule Immediately button on the Import Definition form.
The imported points will be visible on the Points tab of the Employee form.
