Attendance and leave, in order.

Shift schedules, attendance policies, regularization with a paper trail, and leave balances your people can check without asking HR.

01 · The policy lab

Move one rule. Watch the month — and the money — recompute.

Kiran’s March, one screen: the policy on the left, the roster in the middle, the pay on the right. Change the shift hours, the overtime rate, or approve a pending leave, and every day re-evaluates — then the paycheck follows. The rule decides, the same way, for everyone on it.

1 absent, 1 half-day, 2 overtime hours. Month earnings ₹33,845. Roster status is computed the way the product computes it — present, half-day or absent by hours against the shift, overtime beyond it. Earnings come from the same loss-of-pay engine payroll uses; PF and Professional Tax are the product’s own statutory engines. The grace period flags late marks — a signal, not a deduction.

And here it is, in the product.

The Policy Lab computes the same way the product does — this is the real March roster it’s modelling: statuses, late flags, and the overtime column.

Policies decide

Grace periods, half-day rules, and rounding live in policy — applied evenly, not negotiated case by case.

Trails, not arguments

Regularization and approvals leave a record. Disputes become lookups.

Feeds payroll directly

Closed attendance is what payroll computes on — no export, no reconciliation.

The capabilities, in detail.

Define shifts and attendance rules per branch, department, or team; the policy does the enforcing.

  • Shift schedules with assignment history
  • Policy-level grace, rounding, and half-day rules
  • Branch-wise holiday calendars

Quick answer

Different rules for the factory floor and the office?

Yes — policies attach at branch, department, or team level, so each group runs its own rules.
