# Overview

### Overview

The Time and Attendance module allows to manage the working hours of employees. This feature requires employees to enter the time they start and the time they leave. With this information, you can print reports that calculate important labor information and create schedules and relate them to daily punch in and punch out procedure. The Time and Attendance module is a very powerful tool, which eliminates time card compilation chore and allows to spend more time on managing your business. In order to access this module, click on the Time and Attendance icon on the screen of the Back-Office or of the module you are in.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/maitred-pos/maitred/maitred-online-help-contents-by-module/time-and-attendance/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
