• I think it should look more like this:

    SELECT

    w.eID, w.name,

    al.[status],

    COALESCE(al.CheckTime, c.[Date]) AS [Date]

    ,CASE WHEN al.CheckTime IS NULL THEN 'A' ELSE 'P' END AS Attendance

    FROM dbo.employee AS w

    CROSS JOIN dbo.Calendar AS c

    LEFT JOIN dbo.AttendLog AS al

    ON al.eID = w.eID

    AND DATEDIFF(DAY, al.CheckTime, c.[Date]) = 0

    WHERE c.[Date] = '20130731'
