💡 Tips

Use 24-hour time format (HH:MM)
Leave checkIn/checkOut empty for absent
Status values: present, late, absent, excused
Include notes for exceptions
One row per person per day
Consider separate CSV for time off requests

⚠️ Common Pitfalls

Timezone handling for remote workers
Check-out before check-in errors
Missing check-out (forgot to clock out)
Duplicate entries for same day
Break time tracking may be separate
