Time and attendance rules and policies vary from organisation to organisation and tend to be industry specific. PowerApps has deep experience in this field and is able to cater to requirements across the spectrum.

PowerApps Time and Attendance module is designed to automate the entire process of attendance. PowerApps offers various ways to capture attendance data :

• Data from Atttendance readers - This is useful when your workforce usually reports to work at designated places. Data can be captured using various attendance capture devices such as, proximity readers or biometric devices.
• Web based attendance - For smaller team sizes, it might not be feasible to install attendnace data capture devices, or if individual or team is based at client locations - it'd not be possible to install devices. For such environments, PowerApps provides the facility of web attendance from employee self service.
  Various controls are available to make it secure and to ensure that people mark attendance only from designated places of work.

• Manual Data capture - When the team does does not work at designated places every day or does not have access to the application to mark web attendance - it's the responsibility of the supervisor/leader/manager of the team to track attendance. PowerApps makes it easy to capture this data quickly and effortlessly

PowerApps also provides various features and tools to manage this complex process:

• Multiple Shifts and rosters - PowerApps has one of the most comprehensive shift and roster mechanism to handle multiple shifts, shift rotating sequence, rotating off days and policies associated with them. 
• Automated Overtime calculation - PowerApps allows calculation of overtime automatically, along with the provision for approval  of overtime using a built-in workflow on manager self service.
• Automate holiday work/off day work calculations - PowerApps allows advance scheduling of weekly off and holiday work. It allows post-facto approval of holiday and working on offdays - in case authorisation is required for that. The PowerApps payroll administration module can automate the calculations and payments for such extra work
