Front-line supervisors
They already close hours and coverage. The product should match that job, not add a portal they will ignore.
Manager tools
Approvals, coverage, and birthday emails that stay private.
Managers get the queue they already run: time exceptions, leave requests, and who is out. Birthday dates stay on the file — not a company-wide calendar.
Why it matters
A manager should not need a second login to approve a punch or two days of leave. They also should not need a shared birthday spreadsheet that leaks dates to the whole company.
Peer Roll gives the manager of record a weekly queue: exceptions on time, pending PTO, and upcoming time off on their team. A birthday digest goes to that manager only. Dates remain on the employee file. Employees do not get a public feed of personal data they did not ask to publish. The daily or weekly summary of approvals and open tasks — email when mail is configured — lives on manager digests. Goals and simple reviews live on performance.

Coverage
Who is out. Pay is not in this queue.
On the record
What you get in Peer Roll.
- One queue for time exceptions and leave requests.
- Who is out this week, from the same leave data — the PTO calendar is that grid.
- A birthday digest to the manager of record.
- No requirement to post birthdays on a shared calendar.
- Manager views that omit HR-only notes and sensitive fields.
- Daily or weekly team attention mail lives on manager digests — when mail is configured.
- Goals and simple reviews live on performance — not a talent suite.
How it runs
A week in this workflow.
01
Assign the manager
The reporting line on the employee file decides who sees the queue and who gets the digest.
02
Work the week
Approve or send back time and leave. Coverage is visible without a side chat.
03
Keep dates quiet
If you use birthday emails, they go to the manager — not the all-hands list.
Who uses it
Built for the jobs you already have.
People ops who protect dates
Birthdays and personal notes are not decoration. They stay scoped.

These workflows share the same record.
Manager digests
A daily or weekly summary of what still needs you — when mail is on.
Managers get a digest of pending approvals and open tasks. Daily or weekly. The email goes out when mail is configured. This is team attention mail — not a chat product, not a campaign.
Goals and reviews
Set a goal. Write a simple review — not a talent platform.
Managers set a goal on the employee file. A simple review sits next to it. That is light performance — not calibration, not a nine-box, not a talent suite.
Org chart
Reporting lines you can see, not a slide from last quarter.
The tree is built from the manager on each employee file. Search a name, expand or collapse a branch, switch to a list on a phone, and click through to the record.
Time and attendance
A punch should carry evidence.
Clock in and out with device, source IP, and location on the punch. Exceptions stay visible to the manager who has to sign them.
