In Weplanify, each day is compared with what was planned: the [day's slot](https://weplanify.io/docs/planning.creer-un-creneau?lang=en) or, failing that, the hours on the [employee record](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.fiche.temps-de-travail?lang=en).

## The figures

- **Lateness**: first arrival minus planned start.
- **Missing time** (early leave): planned end minus last exit.
- **Total time** (span, break included): from the first arrival to the last exit.
- **Time worked**: time present minus the break.
- **Overtime**: time worked beyond the planned duration.

## Good to know

- The break used is the one entered, otherwise the slot's, otherwise the record's.
- Overtime only counts if its [tracking is on](https://weplanify.io/docs/pointage.heures-supplementaires?lang=en).
- Example: Morning slot 06:00 → 14:00, arrival 06:15, exit 14:00: 15 min late. A day without an exit counts as 0 h until it is [fixed](https://weplanify.io/docs/pointage.corriger-un-pointage?lang=en).
