Staff Period Attendance Intervals Overview

By Jonathan Vasek

Last Updated March 2nd, 2026

This model is part of the v2.5 API update which is currently in beta and therefore subject to change.

Staff Period Attendance Intervals define segments of time where staff were present for Staff Period Attendance records.

Not all providers supply the same granularity of information, so these records may contain the following configurations:

The start_date, end_date and seconds are all populated. This will happen if the provider supplies a date range, or if they supply the start date and seconds present.
Only the start_date is populated. This will happen if the provider only supplies the start date for an attendance record.
Only the seconds is populated. This will happen if the provider only supplies the seconds present for an attendance record.
