What to record
Track date, employee, status, department, performance rating and notes. Keep notes factual and consistent so the export remains useful for reviews or follow-up conversations.

Visual summary of attendance rate, absence, lateness and performance by employee.
Attendance tracker guide
Track attendance patterns before they become admin headaches.
This free attendance tracker gives small teams a simple way to record who was present, absent, late or remote, with department and performance notes. It is designed for lightweight HR admin, team leads and operational managers who need a practical log rather than a complex HR system.
Useful for
Daily attendance logs, remote-work tracking, lateness reviews, absence summaries, team performance snapshots and simple rota follow-up.
Good practice
Use the same employee names and departments each time, export regularly, and keep sensitive HR context out of casual notes unless your business process allows it.
Performance ratings
Use the performance dropdown to add a contextual rating per record. This is not a formal review — it is a quick flag for managers to see who is performing well and who may need additional support or follow-up.
Remote work tracking
The Remote status option lets you track employees who are working off-site without marking them absent. This is useful for team visibility when remote and hybrid arrangements are in place.
Filtering the dashboard
Use the status filters to quickly see who is present, absent, late or remote on any given day. The dashboard summary updates to show attendance rate and performance distribution by employee.
How to use the attendance tracker
- Add a record for each employee and date you want to track.
- Filter the table by present, absent, late or remote status.
- Review the summary and dashboard for repeated patterns.
- Export CSV when you need a copy for records or analysis.
- Import staff via CSV or JSON to avoid re-entering names on repeated records.
- Use performance ratings to flag employees who may need support or follow-up conversations.
Is this attendance tracker free?
Yes. The current TemplatePilot attendance tracker is free to use in the browser.
Can I import staff names?
Yes. The page includes a staff import option for CSV or JSON so repeated names are easier to manage.
Is this a full HR system?
No. It is a lightweight tracker for operational visibility. Sensitive HR processes should still follow your company policy and legal requirements.
Can I track remote work?
Yes. The Remote status option lets you record employees working off-site without marking them absent.
What export formats are available?
CSV export is available for the full attendance log. Use the export to maintain records, share with HR, or import into another system.
Common attendance tracking mistakes
Avoid mixing full names, nicknames and initials for the same employee, because that makes exported summaries harder to clean. Do not use the notes field as a private HR case file; keep it short, factual and relevant to attendance or follow-up. Export regularly if the log matters, because browser data should be treated as a working draft rather than the only long-term record.
