Evaluate attendance trackingwith a design partner.
Workforce is a controlled web beta for selected design partners exploring attendance, shift, and roster workflows. It is separate from the Leave plan and has no public price, checkout, or committed general-availability scope.
Workflows being evaluated fordesign-partner feedback
One-tap check-in/out
Employees check in and out from the web with a single click. Timestamps are recorded automatically — no manual entry, no forgotten timesheets.
Late detection
Configurable grace period after your office start time. Late arrivals are flagged automatically so managers can spot patterns without micromanaging.
Absence resolution
When someone does not check in, managers are notified. Resolve absences as LWOP, excused, or apply retroactive leave — individually or in bulk.
Overtime tracking
Overtime minutes calculated automatically when worked hours exceed the expected daily total. Configurable weekly caps and rate multipliers.
Optional geolocation
Capture location on check-in for on-site verification. Fully toggleable per account — off by default, no tracking without explicit opt-in.
Full audit trail
Every check-in, check-out, resolution, and edit is logged with who changed what and when, supporting internal audits and HR reviews.
Sanctions & warnings
Auto-warn employees after a configurable number of uninformed absences. Notifications sent to the employee and their approvers via the system.
Retroactive check-in
Employees who forgot to check in can submit a retroactive request. Managers review, approve, or decline — with full notification flow.
Analytics dashboard
Attendance trends, punctuality rates, department breakdowns, top late arrivals, and overtime leaders — visualised with interactive charts.
CSV export
Export monthly attendance data for payroll — check-in/out times, worked hours, overtime, and absence records. Ready for your payroll system.

Workforce beta questionsclearly answered
What the controlled web beta is exploring, how access works, and what is not included in the Leave plan.
Talk to our team01Is attendance tracking included in the $10/month price?
No. The $10/month Leave plan covers leave management for unlimited employees. Attendance, shift, and roster workflows belong to the separate, invite-only Workforce web beta.
Workforce has no public price or checkout. Applying for the beta does not start a trial or select a subscription.
02How does attendance tracking work?
Employees check in and out from the web each day. The system records timestamps, detects late arrivals based on your configured office hours and grace period, and calculates worked hours and overtime automatically.
Employees on approved leave, holidays, or weekends are detected automatically — no check-in required. Managers see a real-time daily view of who's checked in, who's on leave, and who hasn't checked in yet.
03What happens when an employee forgets to check in?
Employees who haven't checked in are flagged on the daily attendance view as 'Not Checked In'. At the end of the day, the absence detection system marks them as absent automatically.
Managers can resolve the absence as LWOP (full or half day), excused, or apply retroactive leave. Employees can also submit a retroactive check-in request for manager approval.
04Is this shift rostering or workforce management?
No. Leave Balance tracks one check-in and one check-out per employee per day. It answers the question: 'Was this person here today, when did they arrive, when did they leave?'
If you need multi-shift rostering, break tracking, or complex scheduling across locations, a generally available workforce-management product may be a better fit. We confirm the current Workforce beta scope directly with design partners.
05Is geolocation tracking always on?
No. Geolocation is fully optional and off by default. An account administrator must explicitly enable it. When enabled, location data is captured only at the moment of check-in or check-out — there is no continuous tracking.
Geolocation is useful for verifying on-site attendance for field or multi-location teams. It can be disabled at any time.
06Can managers only see their own team's attendance?
Yes. Managers and approvers see attendance data scoped to their direct reports. Only administrators have access to the full company view. This keeps data visible to the people who need it without over-exposing sensitive information.
07Does attendance integrate with leave management?
Fully. Employees on approved leave appear as 'On Leave' automatically. Half-day leave is supported — employees check in for the other half. Holidays and weekends are detected based on each employee's location settings.
Absence resolution can create linked leave requests (e.g., resolving an absence as LWOP automatically creates the corresponding leave record for balance tracking).
08Can I export attendance data for payroll?
Yes. Monthly attendance data can be exported as CSV from the staff attendance view. The export includes check-in/out times, worked hours, overtime hours, and absence records — ready to import into your payroll system.
