Attendance and leave, marked where the work happens.
Attendance and leave software for Indian businesses. Staff check in by phone where the work is, and approved leave lands in the same register.
What it does
Attendance, leave and holidays
Checked in by the person where they work, marked by the office where it has to be, and read back as reports — one register throughout.
Checking in
- From their own phone
- Staff check in and out themselves, on a computer or in the phone’s browser — it can sit on the home screen. Where each check-in was made is recorded.
- At a check-in place
- A point on the map and a radius in metres — paste a Google Maps link to fill it in. A check-in from outside the radius is refused.
- From home, or anywhere
- Working from home, the location is recorded but not held to a place. Others can be set to check in with no location at all.
- A photo, if you want one
- Switched on person by person: a selfie taken with the check-in and kept against the day — a photograph, not face recognition.
- Days already settled
- Nobody checks in over a day that is already marked — their approved leave, their week off, a holiday.
Shifts, week-offs and holidays
- Shifts
- Working hours with the breaks inside them. A check-in after the start is marked late, and a check-out before the end is flagged early.
- Week-offs and holidays
- Week-off policies, and holiday calendars kept year by year — each given to the people it applies to.
- Set per person
- Each person carries their shift, week-off policy, holiday calendar, leave structure, how they check in and whether a photo is asked for.
The office’s own marking
- The daily sheet
- Everyone on one date, on one screen, marked together — with approved leave already filled in.
- A person’s month
- One person’s month as a grid, with the times, a note, where each check-in was made and the photo taken with it.
- What a day can be
- Present, late, half day, absent, on leave, week off or holiday — and unmarked, until somebody marks it.
- The records
- Every check-in with its hours and its place on a map, filtered by date and person, and taken away as CSV or Excel.
Leave
- Types and structures
- Paid or unpaid, medical or casual, each with its days a year — and a structure giving each person their types and days.
- Asking
- The person asks for the dates with a reason. A request for more than is left of the balance is refused as it is made.
- Answering
- Approve with a note, and the days come off the balance and go into the register. Reject, and a reason is required.
- Changing course
- A request still waiting can be withdrawn by the person; an approved one can be cancelled by the office, and the days go back.
Reports and alerts
- Reports
- The register, who was on time, hours and overtime, leave and absence, the exceptions and more — as CSV, Excel or PDF.
- Alerts
- In the office system or by email: a late check-in, an early check-out, a leave request or decision — or every check-in and check-out.
- The day’s summary
- An email of the day’s attendance, previewed first and sent when you choose to send it.
Leave and the register
Approved leave, written into the register
When the office approves a leave request, the days it covers are written into the register as leave and taken off the person’s balance, in the same step. Nobody copies a slip across, and nobody totals the register at the month’s end.
It only fills days nobody has marked. A day the person was already marked present, a week off or a holiday inside the dates is left as it was.
Cancel an approved leave and both come back: the days return to the balance, and the register goes back to unmarked for those dates.
A request for more than is left is refused when it is made, not discovered when the month is counted — and whether a day of leave is paid is decided by its type, which is what payroll reads.
Beside it in the set
What attendance takes, and what it hands on
The register is set up from each person’s record, filled partly by the people themselves, and read by payroll when the month is worked out.
Takes from
Employees
The register marks the people on the employee list. Each one’s shift, week-off policy, holiday calendar, leave structure and way of checking in are set against them, person by person.
Works with
What staff do themselves
Staff check in, ask for leave and see their own days, balances and the holiday list. What the office decides comes straight back to them.
Hands to
Payroll
The register sets the paid days: a day present counts whole, a half day as half, leave by whether its type is paid. Payroll will not work out a month while a working day is unmarked.
What it costs
Attendance comes in the Workforce set
Employees, Attendance and Reimbursements together, priced per person per month. The people you buy it for are the people the register holds and who can sign in.
Each set also comes with its own limits on places staff may check in from and on working patterns — the shifts, week-offs and holidays your staff are marked against. They are raised by asking rather than by buying.
- Workforce set
₹49.00₹44.10a person, a month
₹132.30 a person for the 3 months, paid at the start.
- Payroll, added to it
₹30.00+ ₹27.00a person, a month
₹81.00 a person for the 3 months, paid at the start.
Longer terms cost less a month. Prices exclude GST. Payroll, which reads this register, is an extra on the Workforce set and is not needed to keep attendance.
Before you switch it on
Questions about attendance and leave
What owners ask before they move their register across, answered plainly — including the ones where the answer is no.
No. Staff check in from the office system on their own phone or computer, and each check-in records where it was made — with a photo as well, for anyone you switch it on for. The photo is kept against the day; nothing is matched against a face.
Yes. Each person is given one way of checking in: at a check-in place, where a check-in from outside its radius is refused; from home or anywhere, with the location recorded but not held to a place; or with no location at all. A site team can be tied to the site while a salesperson on the road is not.
No. A day nobody marks stays unmarked. The office marks everyone for a date at once on the daily sheet, with approved leave already filled in — and payroll will not work out the month while a working day is unmarked, so a gap is found before salaries rather than after.
Leave requests are for whole days. Half a day is marked by the office on the register as a half day, which payroll counts as half a day worked.
No. Hours worked beyond the shift are reported, in the hours and overtime report, but nothing adds them to a salary by itself. If you pay for them and run salaries with Payroll, they go in by hand when the month’s salaries are reviewed.
Not by themselves. Balances are kept year by year from the days each leave type allows, and unused days do not roll forward on their own.
