Attendance & Shifts

Check-in/out tracking, shift assignment, and team attendance views that managers actually use.

Overview

Attendance & Shifts records when people start and finish work, assigns the right shift to each person, and shows managers who is in, late, or absent at a glance.

It feeds leave and payroll directly, so loss-of-pay days and overtime are never reconciled by hand.

How it works - step by step

  1. 1HR defines working hours, shifts, and attendance rules for the organisation.
  2. 2Employees are assigned a shift or a roster.
  3. 3Employees check in and out each day; the system records time and status.
  4. 4Managers see a live view of their team’s attendance and flag exceptions.
  5. 5Employees request corrections, and managers approve them.
  6. 6Attendance flows into payroll automatically at month end.

Common questions

Can we run different shifts for different teams?

Yes. You can create several shifts and assign them per person, team, or roster.

What if someone forgets to check in?

They can submit a regularisation request, and the manager can approve or reject it with a reason.

Does it support location-based attendance?

Yes, geo-fenced attendance can be switched on by an administrator for your organisation.

Does attendance affect payroll?

Yes. Absences, late marks, and unpaid leave flow into payroll so salary is calculated from the same data.
