Import Backdated Attendance Records

Import Backdated Attendance Records

If you’ve started using SalaryBox mid-month or mid-year and need to enter backdated attendance to ensure accurate salary calculation for previous months. You can use this feature to import attendance data from any source, whether you're tracking it in Excel, using biometric devices, or maintaining records in another system. This makes it easy to consolidate all your past attendance data into SalaryBox without the need for manual entry. It's especially helpful if you're onboarding mid-month or mid-year and want to ensure accurate salary calculations from day one.
