1. Web Clock-In & Clock-Out

Employees can log their daily attendance through two interfaces:

A. Front-End Self-Service Portal

Embed the attendance widget on any WordPress page using the shortcode:

[hrp_attendance]

1. The employee logs in with their WordPress account.
2. The widget displays the current server time and the employee's assigned shift.
3. The employee clicks Clock In.
4. At the end of the shift, the employee clicks Clock Out.

B. WordPress Dashboard Widget

Logged-in employees with the Employee role can also clock in and out from the HR Press dashboard widget inside /wp-admin.
