Percentage of scheduled days the employee was present.
Inverse measure — often tracked separately for reliability scoring.
Attendance % = (Present ÷ Total) × 100 · Absence % = (Absent ÷ Total) × 100
Attendance rate is separate from PTO usage — unexcused absences, tardiness, and no-shows may be tracked differently than approved leave.
210 present out of 220 scheduled days = 95.45% attendance.
