Introduction
Monitoring punctuality is a key component of efficient attendance management. In uKnowva HRMS, administrators can define and enforce late mark rules using the dedicated Late Marks plugin.
This feature allows organizations to apply structured policies around late arrivals, ensuring discipline while offering flexibility to accommodate specific use cases.
Whether it is deducting leaves after a certain number of late marks or applying penalties through custom logic, uKnowva provides comprehensive options to configure these rules as per your HR policy.
This article explains how to access and configure the Late Marks plugin within uKnowva HRMS.
Step 1: Accessing the Plugin
To begin setting up your late mark rules, log in to your uKnowva instance and navigate to the top-right corner of your screen.
Click on your profile icon, which opens a dropdown list of options. From that list, select uKnowva Configuration to enter the configuration page.
Once inside, locate the Plugin Manager from the menu on the left side of the screen.
In the Plugin Manager, use the search bar to search for the Late Marks plugin.
When the plugin appears, click on it to open its configuration window.
Step 2: Configuring the Late Mark Rules
Inside the configuration window of the Late Marks plugin, you will find multiple settings that allow you to control how late arrivals are handled in your system.
The first and most essential setting is the Late Mark Rules section, where you can define the criteria that determine when a punch-in should be considered late.
You can specify how many minutes after shift start will be tolerated and what thresholds should trigger a late mark entry.
If your organization follows a more complex policy, you also have the option to add custom PHP logic to define advanced late marking rules.
This gives you full flexibility to tailor the system exactly to your needs, such as handling different rules for different departments or applying progressive penalties based on repeated lateness.
Further down, you will find options for Leave Deduction Rules, where you can configure how many late marks should result in a leave deduction and what type of leave should be deducted.
These settings help enforce your HR policies automatically and reduce the manual work of tracking and applying penalties.
Once all the configurations are set as per your organization’s requirements, click on the Save button to apply the changes.
If you wish to discard the updates, you can click on the Cancel button instead.
Conclusion

You’ve now successfully configured the late mark rules in uKnowva HRMS using the Late Marks plugin.
By following this process, you ensure that your organization’s attendance policies are enforced consistently and automatically.
