Start here

In plain words: Odoo records when people check in and out, but to know who was late, who left early, who worked overtime and who was absent in the month, HR exports the attendances and counts by hand. Attendance Late, Early and Overtime Report compares every check-in and check-out with the working schedule of the employee and gives, for a period, the totals per employee and the detail of every day, ready to print or to export to Excel for payroll.

The totals per employee, the problem days and the printed summary.

Tip: Public holidays and time off of the schedule are not absences, and each employee is read in their own time zone.

Scheduled / Present / Absent days	Days of the schedule; those with an attendance; those without.
Late and Early	How many times and how many minutes in total.
Worked hours	The hours of the check-in and check-out pairs.
Overtime	Outside the schedule, from the minimum.
Attendance %	Present days divided by scheduled days.

Day by day

How it is computed

Rule	Detail
The schedule	The working schedule of the employee, without public holidays and time off, in the employee's time zone.
Late	First check-in of the day, compared with the start of the schedule.
Early	Last check-out of the day, compared with the end of the schedule.
Overtime	The time before the schedule starts plus the time after it ends. The lunch break is not counted.
Absent	A scheduled day before today with no attendance.
Several punches	The first check-in and the last check-out of the day; the hours are the sum of the pairs.

Who can do what

Who	Can

Arabic and right to left

Limits

Limit	Detail
Odoo’s own overtime	The module is a report: it does not approve overtime or change the overtime of Odoo Attendances.
One schedule	The schedule of the employee (or of the company) is used; flexible hours are not interpreted.
Night shifts	An interval that crosses midnight is attached to the day where it starts.
Size	Up to 20,000 employee-days for a summary; use shorter periods or departments beyond.

For developers

In plain words: Skip this chapter if you only use the module.

report = env['taqnix.attendance.report'].create({'date_from': '2026-10-01', 'date_to': '2026-10-31'})
report.action_compute()
report.line_ids.mapped('overtime_hours')   # totals per employee
report.day_ids                              # the days

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to do
Everybody is absent	The employees have no working schedule, or it does not include these days.
Late for everybody by some hours	Check the time zone of the employees: the schedule is read in it.
Too many days for so many employees	Choose a shorter period or a department.
Overtime is missing	It must reach the minimum (15 minutes by default); lower it for the report.
The PDF is empty or shows boxes	wkhtmltopdf must be installed; avoid symbols that the font lacks if you customise the template.
