Adjective or Noun?

[chesda]

Hello there,

I am a new member here. I wonder about how to use this:

Which one is the right? and why?

employee attendant list,
employee attendance list,

Thank you.

Welcome, chesda.

An attendant is a person, an assistant, employed to help people, whereas attendance refers to the number of people present. Both are nouns and both can functions as adjectives,

[1] attedant list <list of assistants>
[2] attendance list <list of people present>

And both can be modified,

[3] employee attendance list <list of employees present>
[4] employee attendant list <list of employees who are attendants> *odd

Hope that helps.
