Why it feels simpler
Job, site, manager, documents, and status in a single file. Folders and uploads live on that person. The directory is the record you search during the week.
Clock in and out with device, IP, and location on the punch. Exceptions stay visible to the manager who has to sign them.
PTO requests hit the right person. Balances follow the policy you set. Approved leave lands on a shared team calendar so coverage is a grid.
Roles for operators, managers, and employees. Sensitive actions like pay changes, terminations and sign-in tokens are recorded with who and when.
How it works
01
Add employees. Set sites, managers, and employment type first so everything else has a home. Invite by email or link.
02
PTO rules, who can see pay data, who can edit a punch. Operators keep the keys. Managers get the work they actually do.
03
Clock in. Request leave. Sign the onboarding packet on Me — from a phone if that is where they work. The record updates without a chase email from HR.
04
Managers close time and leave. Approved hours and PTO can export as a CSV to the payroll system you already run.
