# How do I add attendance records on Salary.lu?

Attendance records in Salary.lu allow you to track working hours and specific activities for your employees. This feature is primarily used for hourly-paid employees, though certain activity types like overtime can apply to all employees.

## Adding an attendance record

To add an attendance record:

1. Log in to your Salary.lu account
2. Navigate to the "Presences" section
3. Click the "Add" button in the top right corner
4. Select the employee from the dropdown menu
5. Choose the activity type from the available options
6. Enter the date 
7. Enter the start time 
8. Enter the end time 
9. Specify the break duration in hours if necessary 
10. Click "Add Presence" to add another record, or click "Create" to save

||| Attendance records must be added before generating payslips for the relevant month to ensure they are included in the calculation.

## Activity types and their application

Different activity types have different effects depending on the employee's payment structure:

**For hourly-paid employees:**

* All activity types affect payroll calculations
* "Hours worked" records are essential for calculating the monthly salary

**For monthly-paid employees:**

* "Hours worked" records have no effect on payroll
* Overtime hours, paid overtime, and night hours paid are still calculated and included in the payslip

|| The system automatically ignores "Hours worked" entries for employees who are paid a fixed monthly salary.

## Viewing attendance records

Once created, attendance records appear in a table showing:

* Employee full name
* Date
* Activity type
* Start time
* End time
* Break duration
* Total duration

You can filter records by employee, year, and month using the filter options at the top of the page.
