Leave and attendance
Leave and attendance, without the spreadsheet arguments
Leave balances that nobody has to defend, rosters that match who actually turned up, and staff who can check both from their phone.
Leave that balances
The reason leave is disputed is that the balance lives in a spreadsheet and the request lives in an email. Here they are the same record.
Your own leave types
Annual, sick, maternity, paternity, compassionate, unpaid — whatever your contracts and policy define, set up as they are written.
Accrual and carry-over
Earned per period or granted up front, with carry-over rules and expiry, applied the same way for everyone.
Approvals that route
A request goes to the right manager, with the balance visible at the moment of approving it, and a record of who approved what.
Public holidays
The year’s holidays loaded and marked, so a leave request spanning one is not quietly counted against the balance.
Leave liability
What untaken leave is worth across the organisation, for finance, by department or branch.
Payroll knows
Unpaid leave reaches the next payroll run from the same record, rather than being remembered by someone.
We do not state statutory entitlements on this page. They are set by law and by your contracts, and both change; the system is configured to what applies to you, which we confirm during discovery.
Attendance and shifts
For organisations where who worked which shift is a question with money attached.
- Shift rosters by branch, department or location, in a month view.
- Check-in and check-out from the employee app, where you allow it.
- Attendance requests and corrections reviewed by a manager, with the original kept.
- Timesheets and overtime against a project, shift or cost centre, approved before they reach payroll.
- Absence and lateness reports by team, so a pattern is visible before it becomes a dispute.
Biometric and time-clock devices
If you already have fingerprint or card clocks, the aim is to read them, not replace them.
- Most devices can export or expose their logs, and we import them against employee records.
- How clean that is depends on the specific model, so we check yours during discovery rather than promising it in advance.
- Where a device cannot be read, check-in from the app or supervisor entry covers the same ground, and the record still shows who entered it.
We do not resell or install hardware. We integrate with what you have, or tell you plainly if a device cannot be integrated.
The employee app
Most of what staff ask HR is something they could answer themselves if they could see it.
- Check in and out from anywhere you allow.
- Leave balances, requests and upcoming holidays.
- Expense claims with a receipt attached.
- Salary slips, opened by the employee rather than printed by HR.
Where staff have no smartphone, HR or a supervisor acts on their behalf and the record still shows who entered what.
Common questions
Usually. Most devices can export or expose their logs and we import them against employee records. The device model decides how clean that is, so we check the specific one during discovery rather than promising it in advance.
No. The app is the convenient path, not the only one: HR or a supervisor can act on an employee’s behalf, and the record shows who entered it.
Yes. A manager sees their own team’s requests and balances and nothing else, and can approve from a browser or the app.
Yes, when leave and payroll are the same system — which is how we deploy them. The run reads the same leave record a manager approved.
