Capabilities

Everything attendance needs to handle

Biometric Integration

Sync with fingerprint scanners, facial recognition devices, and RFID card readers. Attendance punches flow into Octal HR automatically — no manual entry.

Mobile Punch-In / Out

Field staff and remote employees can mark attendance from the mobile app. GPS-based location verification ensures they're where they say they are.

Multiple Shift Types

Configure day, night, rotating, and flexible shifts. Set start/end times, grace periods, and overtime thresholds per shift. Assign different shifts per department.

Overtime Calculation

Define overtime rules per shift — 1.5x or 2x rates, daily limits, weekly caps. Overtime hours flow directly into payroll calculations without manual work.

Late & Early Departure

Track late arrivals and early departures with configurable grace periods. Generate reports on habitual latecomers and auto-deduct from payroll if configured.

Holiday Calendar

Pre-loaded public holiday calendars for 2025–2026 for your country. Add company-specific holidays. Holidays automatically excluded from attendance calculations and payroll deductions.
