HROne: Leave Policy For Employees 

Let us have a look at how HROne ensures that the leave tracking and policy of the company is in place:

  • Create multiple leave types and define applicability according to organisational structure
  • Clearly define leave types by specifying leave name, cycle, type (paid or unpaid), encashment allowed or not, eligibility based on employee status, gender or ESI, and Credit rule
  • Avoid confusion and automate requests for leave, by setting up the number of requests allowed per tenure, year, or month, as well as the minimum and a maximum number of leaves allowed per request. You can also allow for backdated leaves, with associated penalties

HROne assures to resolve problems of leave policy, especially in case of new joiners’ policy set-up. Additionally, HROne saves HRs from the hassles of the approval process of bulk leaves at years’ end when employees tend to utilise all of their sick or casual leaves.

P.S.: Short Leave can be easily pre-defined with HROne to further maintain attendance records without any confusions


HROne: Set Up Check-In/ Check-Out System

HROne can make your check-in policy easy to apply whether you mark attendance with a biometric system, mobile or website in your organisation. Both on-site and off-site employees’ check-in and check-out can be easily managed with one system.

Let us discover how HROne attendance and leave management software can streamline check-in policy-

  • Choose the applicable platform for check-in/out- it could be web-based or mobile as per our organisational needs (P.S.: Mobile punching offers better flexibility)
  • Maintain discipline in your company, by setting up maximum punches allowed and restricting employees for marking attendance in defined time window
  • Utilise geo-fencing and geo tagging (GPS tracking) feature with IP validation for transparent check-in policy of on-site employees
  • Regularize attendance or allow for backdated attendance, (of course in the limit) by setting up a number of days, limit, and if they are allowed to correct attendance after the process is completed

P.S.: IP Validation with mobile check-in along with the on-site photo can assure check-in of employees in real-time

Using HROne, any employee will not be able to mark attendance with their location off. They can only do so when they are within their mapped location.
