Solution · Attendance and leave
Attendance and leave that flow into payroll
Policies, balances, approvals and timesheets in one place, so the days worked and taken are the same days payroll uses.
Problems this solves
Leave tracked outside the HR system
Balances are kept in files and go out of date.
Attendance and payroll disagree
Payroll uses a different day count than the one managers approved.
Shift and timesheet admin
Scheduling and hours are handled by hand.
Who it is for
- HR and payroll administrators
- Managers approving time off
- Employees requesting leave

Frequently asked questions
Can a leave accrual run be undone if it was posted by mistake?
Yes — accrual and carry-forward both support a real Reverse action, and both let you preview the effect before you post in the first place.
Does attendance risk get flagged automatically?
A late-arrival or early-departure exception is detected and scored for severity in real time, not discovered later during a manual review.
Can an employee have two timesheets for the same period?
No — the platform enforces a real one-timesheet-per-employee-per-period constraint, not just a UI convention.
What's the difference between Scheduling and Rosters?
Scheduling is the planner's own working draft; a Roster is the finalized, officially published version employees actually see — kept deliberately distinct so a draft in progress never looks official.
