HR
Leave requests that find the right approver on their own.
Allowances, requests, a manager-to-HR approval chain with escalation, decisions from email, a team leave calendar and daily attendance.
Why it matters
When leave is managed by email, requests wait in the inbox of a manager who is away, balances are worked out by hand, and two people from the same small team end up off in the same week. Nobody can say for certain who was in on a given day.
Time off and attendance in detail
-
Allowances
Each person's entitlement comes from the most specific rule that applies.
- Employee override first, then the job title's benefit class, then the leave type default
- Benefit classes can also cover mileage and paid-training allowances
- Approved leave uses the allowance; a cancellation returns it
-
Routing and escalation
Requests go up the reporting line until someone decides.
- Manager, skip-level manager, then HR
- Absent approvers and self-approval are skipped
- Escalation after three days by default
-
Decide from anywhere
Approve or reject from the signed-in queue or from the email.
- Waiting on me and All pending views
- Email links expire after seven days and need a confirmation click
-
Team view
See overlaps before you approve.
- Leave calendar, absence patterns and approval turnaround reports
- Who's out today and in the next 30 days on the dashboard
-
Attendance
A daily clock-in and clock-out per person.
- Hours worked calculated when both times are present
- Attendance and attendance-exceptions reports
Questions
Is attendance the same as billable time?
No. Attendance records the working day; time billed to clients is logged separately, so the two never get mixed up.
Can I see whether someone was on approved leave when they did not clock in?
Yes. Attendance and leave are separate records that you can compare in the reports.
