Attendance expectations and availabilities are based on schedules, which can be added using the new [Schedules](/gtx/docs/schedules) module.

Salespeople and technicians can then be associated with Resources, Schedules and Explicit Availabilities, as required, using the new [Staff](/gtx/docs/staff) list.

Once staff members have been associated with the appropriate schedules they can record their attendance, including clocking on, clocking off and taking breaks, using the [Attendance Entry](/gtx/docs/attendance-entry) module.

Attendance records can then be viewed using the [Attendance Activity Report](/gtx/docs/attendance-activity-reports).

Attendance records can also be viewed and edited by users with the appropriate permissions, using the new [Attendance Maintenance](/gtx/docs/attendance-maintenance) module.

All of these modules are **covered in more detail in their individual help guides**, which can be accessed by clicking on the links in the menu on the left (or the Contents men at the top on mobile).

:::(Warning) (Tip)
Staff attendance can be recorded across all terminals on a network, or a single, dedicated attendance terminal can be set up, which staff can use to clock in and out on entering and exiting the workplace.

:::(Info) (Note)
**Salespeople Passwords are required for Time and Attendance functionality**. If you do not have Salespeople Passwords enabled, {{variable.SupportTeam}}.

## Time and Attendance – Phase 2

**{{variable.GTX Bold}}** [5.8.1](/gtx/docs/gtx-581) introduces a number of enhancements to Time and Attendance functionality, including the ability to:
* Share attendance reports with linked Marlin HR systems
* Request adjustments to attendance activity
* Add notes to individual attendance events
* Add notes to staff members

See the [T&A Phase Two](/gtx/docs/ta-2) help guide for a full overview of these new features.

 ## Time and Attendance Permissions

Who can clock on/off staff members can be controlled by setting appropriate [password group permissions](https://help.megabus.com.au/gtx/docs/password-groups), which can be accessed by selecting **System > Passwords > Password Groups** from the menu bar.
