Review exceptions and close the attendance month

Clear attendance exceptions, lock the month and hand attendance off to payroll.

Before payroll, attendance for the month needs to be complete and approved. HRPortal lists blocking issues such as missing punches, pending regularization requests and overtime waiting for approval.

1. Go to Time & Leave → Attendance operations (or Attendance & exceptions).
2. Work through the blocking issues. Use Exceptions & regularization to review correction requests.
3. When everything is clear, select Close the month, then Lock attendance. Confirm that you have reviewed the exceptions.
4. Select Hand off to payroll to refresh payable days in the draft payroll run for that month.

Locking makes attendance, leave and overtime for the month read-only and freezes payable days for payroll. If you reopen the month, reconcile it again before locking.
