PHI HCM • THE STANDARD FOR MODERN HCM
Time and attendance software

Time and attendance software. Clearer hours, exceptions, and payroll handoffs.

Phi HCM connects employee time tracking, timecards, attendance, configured pay rules, and approvals. Review missing punches, overtime totals, and corrections before approved hours move into payroll-ready workflows. Give employees, managers, HR, and payroll a clear view of the records and responsibilities behind each handoff.

01
Capture

Give employees a clear time experience.

Start with how each workforce group records hours and reviews its timecard. Test the time-clock or capture method proposed for your deployment, including device connections, employee visibility, and what happens when a punch is missing. Confirm mobile-friendly workflows without assuming a separate native app.

  • Time capture and timecards
  • Employee visibility and self-service
  • Pay codes and work-rule context
  • Mobile-friendly workforce workflows
02
Resolve

Give missing punches and overtime a review path.

Test a missing punch, a shift crossing midnight, and a correction near the payroll cutoff. Review the overtime result under your configured rules, identify who can make or approve a change, and confirm what remains in the history. This is exception review, not a promise that every discrepancy or compliance risk disappears.

  • Manager review queues
  • Time-clock exceptions and overtime review
  • Approval paths and audit history
  • Earlier correction and reconciliation
03
Connect

Carry meaning into payroll readiness.

Trace approved hours and pay codes into the payroll process you intend to use. If an existing payroll system stays, confirm the transfer format, cutoff, receiving-system response, rejected records, and late corrections. Bring accruals, attendance, schedules, and cost centers into that same review instead of relying on repeated manual entry.

  • Time-to-payroll workflow
  • Accruals and leave context
  • Schedule and attendance connections
  • Reporting and finance alignment
A practical evaluation scenario

Test a timecard correction before choosing a system.

Employee time tracking should make exceptions explainable. Bring a synthetic shift example and your policy requirements; do not submit real employee records through this website.

  1. Step 1

    Record the exception

    A fictional employee records a start time but misses the end-of-shift punch.

    What to verify: Check how the incomplete record appears to the employee and manager, and what prevents premature approval.

  2. Step 2

    Correct and recalculate

    The responsible reviewer enters the confirmed end time and reviews the calculated hours.

    What to verify: Compare the original and corrected record, rule application, access permissions, and review history.

  3. Step 3

    Approve the period

    The team completes required reviews before the payroll cutoff.

    What to verify: Confirm which hours are approved, how later corrections are handled, and how the receiving payroll process validates the export.

Illustrative evaluation scenario—not a customer case study, product image, or guarantee of a particular result. Confirm availability and configuration for your deployment.

Questions for time and attendance software

Compare systems by the rules and exceptions your workforce actually runs, not only by the smoothest part of a demo script.

  • ✓Can the system represent the time, pay, attendance, and approval rules that make your workforce unique?
  • ✓Can employees see what was captured, changed, approved, or still needs attention?
  • ✓Can managers resolve exceptions before the payroll cutoff?
  • ✓Can time activity connect cleanly to schedules, accruals, payroll readiness, and reporting?

Questions buyers ask

Understand the system before you choose it.

Can we retain our current payroll system?

Potentially. Confirm the integration or export required for your receiving payroll system, including employee identifiers, pay codes, cutoff times, rejected-record handling, and reconciliation. A payroll handoff must be agreed and tested for your deployment; it is not automatically available for every system.

What does employee time management software do?

Employee time management software records work hours and helps teams review timecards, exceptions, and approvals. In workforce management, it connects recorded activity to schedules, attendance, and payroll. It serves a different purpose from a personal to-do list or project task planner.

Are time tracking, timekeeping, and timesheet software related?

Yes. Time tracking and timekeeping describe recording work activity; timesheet software organizes those records for review. Compare how a system captures time, applies your rules, handles corrections, and documents approval before payroll.

How should we evaluate overtime and pay rules?

Bring representative shifts, pay codes, locations, and rule examples to the demonstration. Review the calculated hours, exceptions, approval responsibilities, and effect of a correction. Confirm the configuration required for your workforce and policies.
