Attendance Management Still Takes Too Much Manual Effort
01Work Arrangement
Challenge
Stores, shift workers, and flextime staff each use a different attendance system
Work patterns that don't fit standard presets end up in another system or a spreadsheet.
Solution
Shifts, Flextime, and More in One System
Set up shift work, rotating shifts, flextime, discretionary work, and deemed off-site work from the same building blocks.
02People Data
Challenge
Every hire or transfer means fixing attendance settings by hand
HR changes aren't reflected in attendance, and passing month-end figures to payroll is also manual.
Solution
Share People Data with HR and Payroll
Hires and transfers update attendance and leave settings automatically, and finalized attendance goes straight to payroll.
03Traceability
Challenge
You can't explain how overtime hours were calculated
You can't trace which rule applied to whom or how it was calculated, so every inquiry or audit takes time.
Solution
See Exactly Which Rules Apply to Whom
Check the work arrangement and rules behind each person's hours, step by step.
