Simplify Remote Work / Employee Attandance Time Tracking with the Odoo Employee Attendance Portal
Managing a modern workforce means managing flexibility. Whether you are dealing with a fully remote team, hybrid employees, or external contractors, accurately tracking working hours is critical for payroll and project management.However, a common challenge for businesses using Odoo is giving external or temporary users an easy way to clock in and out without granting them full backend access. Providing backend access just for time tracking can clutter your system, confuse users, and create unnecessary security risks.That’s exactly where the Employee Attendance Portal comes in.
1. What is the Employee Attendance Portal for Odoo?
The Employee Attendance Portal is a custom-built Odoo application designed to bridge the gap between HR management and external user accessibility. It empowers your staff to manage their own time directly from your website's front-end portal.By adding a dedicated "Attendance" menu to the portal, any user you assign can easily record their shifts, track lunch breaks, and monitor their working history—all with zero backend access required.
💡 Pro Tip for HR Managers: Keeping external contractors and temporary staff in the portal ensures your backend Odoo environment remains secure, clean, and restricted only to core administrative teams.
