Leave and attendance FAQs

What is leave and attendance management software?

Leave and attendance management software brings employee punches, shifts, holidays and time off into one record. ZaroHR applies configured policies, routes requests for approval and prepares a reviewed, locked attendance period for payroll. HR can manage attendance and leave together instead of reconciling separate spreadsheets.

How does ZaroHR manage employee leave policies?

ZaroHR lets HR configure each leave type with its own accrual frequency, balance, carry-forward rules, supporting attachments and approval chain. Policies can include half days, optional holidays, compensatory leave and restrictions during probation or notice periods. Requests are checked against the configured policy and available balance.

How does ZaroHR record attendance, enable geo-fencing, and help HR manage attendance across departments and locations?

ZaroHR's Leave & Attendance module is a comprehensive attendance management software that records attendance through web punches, mobile punches, and supported biometric devices. HR can configure location-specific punch methods, office-IP checks, and geo-fencing rules through its geofencing attendance app capabilities. Attendance records are centrally available alongside shifts, working hours, and approved leave. HR can also manage attendance across departments and office locations from a unified dashboard, with filters, reports, and exports for attendance, leave, and loss-of-pay tracking.

Can ZaroHR manage shift scheduling, shift swaps, and flexible leave policies such as half-day, compensatory leave, and work-from-home?

Yes, ZaroHR's shift management software supports night shift attendance, rotating shifts, roster planning, and manager-approved employee shift swap requests. HR can assign shifts in bulk, configure week-off patterns, and manage location-specific holiday calendars. Its integrated leave management system supports half day leave, compensatory leave, optional holiday, work-from-home policies, and on-duty request workflows. HR can configure eligibility rules, approval hierarchies, and leave balances to automate policy-driven approvals.

How does ZaroHR prepare loss-of-pay (LOP) information for payroll processing, and can attendance records be changed after payroll month close?

ZaroHR's attendance management software automatically calculates loss of pay (LOP), including LOP attendance, overtime, leave balances, and other attendance-related adjustments to generate accurate payroll attendance reports. HR can review and finalize unpaid absence and LOP calculations before applying a payroll period lock or attendance month close. Any changes after closure follow a controlled unlock, correction, and re-lock process, with all updates recorded in the attendance audit trail for complete transparency and compliance.
