Driver attendance and loss of pay: mark the exceptions, let the run do the rest
The register assumes everyone was present. You mark the days that were not. Paid days total at the right of each row, and the payroll run reads them. Built for transport offices that keep attendance for a few hundred drivers and staff.
*No credit card required
The register
Open Attendance for a month. Every employee is a row; every day is a column with its weekday; the last column is Paid days. A note at the top reads "Unmarked days count as Present". A Counts tab summarises the month.
- Mark only absences and other exceptions; the rest is present by default
- Paid days per employee update as you mark
- Switch months at the top; the Counts view totals the register
- The payroll run uses paid days for monthly packages; trip-paid drivers are paid per booking regardless
What it does for payroll
Paid days
The number the monthly package is prorated on, visible on the register before the run.
Loss of pay
Days marked as unpaid reduce paid days; the run computes the deduction.
Drivers and staff
One register for everyone; drivers on trip pay are unaffected by paid days.
Advances
Recovered in the same run; the run blocks a negative result.
Statement
Single Employee Statement shows the month's salary, advances and balance.
Counts
The Counts tab gives the month's totals per employee at a glance.

What stops happening
An attendance diary copied into Excel at month-end
Paid days argued on payday
Loss of pay forgotten for one employee and remembered for another
Advances recovered from memory
Who marks it, and when
The clerk marks absences as they happen, from the office or a phone browser. Drivers on the road are present by default, so a long haul needs no marking at all. At month-end the register is already complete; the run reads it the same day.
- One register for drivers, clerks and managers
- Exceptions only, so a 300-row register takes minutes a week
- Paid days visible before the run, so disputes are settled before payday
