What Is WP ERP – Attendance?
WP ERP – Attendance is developed by WP ERP and is an administration plugin for WordPress. As a dedicated extension for the flagship HRM module, it allows organizations to record work hours, shifts, and attendance in a single interface. It belongs to the administration category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for resource planning.
The plugin solves the challenge of manual timekeeping by providing automated entry methods and IP-restricted logging. It is designed for businesses needing a reliable way to track remote teams or office staff without investing in expensive standalone SaaS applications.
WP ERP – Attendance Features
The attendance tracking environment is built around transparency and detailed record-keeping.
Time Tracking and Verification
Attendance allows employees to check in and out directly through their user dashboard. Administrators can implement IP restriction to whitelist specific office locations, effectively preventing time theft from unauthorized devices. The system records late arrivals and early departures automatically, providing a clear picture of staff punctuality for payroll purposes in the administration workflow.
Shift and Roster Management
Managers can create an unlimited number of shifts with custom timing profiles. The built-in roster system supports rotating schedules and allows for bulk shift assignments across multiple employees at once. If a worker is assigned multiple shifts, the plugin handles the overlapping data to ensure hours are logged accurately without manual intervention.
Hardware Data Integration
Organizations using physical card punches or paper ledgers can import data directly into the plugin. This feature bridges the gap between traditional hardware and digital WordPress management, consolidating all records into the employee HR profile. CSV imports make it simple to sync external logging devices with the central database.
Pricing
Professional attendance management requires the Attendance extension, which is typically sold as a premium add-on for the WP ERP ecosystem. Check current pricing on the Attendance sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.

Use Cases
Remote and Hybrid Team Management
Companies with geographically dispersed staff utilize the web-based login for easy administration of work hours. The system logs the exact time employees start and finish their tasks from any location with internet access.
Office Settings with IP Restrictions
Internal HR departments use the whitelist feature to ensure employees are physically present in the office before they can check in. This eliminates the possibility of proxy attendance or “buddy punching” from external networks.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can bundle attendance tracking into their client maintenance packages. Using WPExclusive allows developers to deploy these tools across dozens of client intranets without recurring per-license costs.
