A CONNECTED VIEW OF THE WORKDAY
Know who is working.
See what needs attention.
Keep the schedule, the attendance record, and the review together, without rebuilding the picture at month-end.
Biometric integration
Connect supported device punches to employee records with device mapping and sync visibility.
Geofenced attendance
Use configured site locations and attendance boundaries for location-aware mobile punches.
Roster planning
Plan date-wise employee shifts and bring monthly assignments in through roster imports.
Auto shift mapper
Match punches to the nearest eligible shift when no roster assignment already exists.
Shift assignments
Set working times and assign shifts to the people and teams who follow them.
Weekly offs & holidays
Account for non-working days and configured weekly-off patterns when reviewing attendance.
Attendance corrections
Let employees request a new entry or correction with the details reviewers need.
Payroll inputs
Resolve pending items and confirm attendance records before they are used in payroll.
THE CONTEXT BEHIND EVERY PUNCH
More than a timestamp.
A working-day record.
See when someone checked in, which shift they followed, and whether the record needs attention before drawing conclusions.
Capture from your enabled sources
Bring web, mobile, or supported device records into the attendance workflow configured for your team.
Read attendance in context
Review punches with the assigned shift, leave, and working-day rules instead of isolated times.
Keep exceptions visible
Identify missing punches and disputed entries so the right person can review them.
Capture methods depend on your setup. Device connections, location permissions, and connectivity are confirmed before rollout.

WORKING PATTERNS WITH STRUCTURE
Different teams.
The right shift rules.
Give every attendance record a schedule to work against. Keep shift times, assignments, and weekly offs connected.
Define the working window
Set shift start and end times so attendance is reviewed against the expected day.
Assign people to their shift
Keep employee assignments visible across departments and locations as team schedules change.
Make weekly offs explicit
Use regular weekly offs or week-number patterns to reflect how your organization works.
Shift times and weekly-off patterns follow your configuration. Confirm overnight shifts and other special policies during setup.

MOBILE CLOCK-IN & GEOFENCING
A simpler check-in.
With the right location context.
Let employees record their working day from their phone, with location and capture requirements shaped around your attendance policy.
Clock in and out on mobile
Give employees a convenient way to record attendance through the Pletox app.
Define the attendance boundary
Configure the location and radius used for geofenced attendance at your office or site.
Capture the context you need
Enable location or selfie capture where your policy requires it, with appropriate device permissions.
Geofenced attendance is not continuous location tracking. GPS accuracy, permissions, connectivity, and employee-specific settings affect location checks.

BIOMETRIC INTEGRATION
Keep the device.
Connect the attendance record.
Bring supported biometric punch logs into Pletox so device attendance joins the same employee and shift workflow.
Connect supported devices
Confirm the integration method and device access before enabling attendance synchronization.
Map device IDs to employees
Link device identifiers to the correct people so incoming punches have a clear owner.
Review incoming logs
Check device, employee, punch time, and synchronization status when investigating a missing record.
Compatibility and sync frequency depend on the device and integration. A connected device does not guarantee instant or uninterrupted delivery.

ROSTER PLANNING
Plan the week.
Make each assignment clear.
Keep date-wise shift assignments together so teams know which working pattern applies to each employee.
Assign shifts by date
Plan employee shifts across the roster instead of relying on a single default schedule.
Bring in a prepared roster
Use the shift roster template to import monthly assignments and validate the uploaded data.
Keep plans connected to attendance
Give punches an assigned shift to follow and make schedule changes visible in the roster.
Roster assignments take precedence over automatic shift mapping for future punches. Review changes before recalculating historical attendance.

AUTOMATIC SHIFT MAPPING
A punch comes in.
The policy finds the shift.
When no roster assignment exists, map an employee's punch to the nearest eligible shift start under their active policy.
- 01
Choose eligible shifts
Define which shifts the policy can consider and which employees it covers.
- 02
Match the incoming punch
Compare the punch time with eligible shift starts when the employee has no existing roster assignment.
- 03
Keep planned assignments intact
Future punches preserve existing roster assignments. Historical remapping is a separate, deliberate review.
Policies have effective periods. Historical remaps include safeguards for locked, open, specialized roster, and overnight-review records.

Automatic mapping uses the nearest eligible start, not a guarantee of attendance approval or payable overtime.
A MISSED PUNCH NEEDS A REVIEW
Let people explain.
Give reviewers the context.
Handle missing or incorrect punches through a clear request flow, with proposed times and a reason attached to the record.
- 01
Submit the correction
The employee selects the attendance date and shares the requested times and explanation.
- 02
Review the request
The responsible reviewer checks the original record and proposed correction before deciding.
- 03
Use the reviewed outcome
Approved changes feed the attendance record under your configured rules and period controls.
Submitting a request does not approve it. Review permissions and closed attendance periods still apply.

FROM DAILY RECORDS TO PAYROLL INPUTS
Close the gaps.
Then close the period.
Bring attendance, approved leave, and reviewed exceptions together before they affect the pay run.
Review the full period
Check working days, leave, and non-working days against the attendance period your team uses.
Resolve outstanding items
Review corrections and overtime eligibility instead of treating unverified records as final inputs.
Control changes after review
Use attendance period locks and authorized review to protect the records used for payroll.
Attendance review is separate from payroll approval. Pay calculations follow your salary rules and approved inputs.

Attendance connects.
Your team moves forward.
Keep working-day records connected to the people, requests, and payroll workflows around them.
BEFORE YOUR NEXT SHIFT
Your attendance questions,
answered.
Understand the records, rules, and reviews behind a connected working day.
Book a demoAttendance can use the web, mobile, or supported device sources enabled for your organization. We confirm capture methods, permissions, connectivity, and any location requirements during setup.
Yes. Define shifts and assign employees to the relevant working pattern. Weekly offs can follow a regular schedule or configured week-number patterns. Special requirements, including overnight shifts, should be validated during setup.
Compatibility depends on device access, supported APIs, or export formats. Employee mapping, duplicate checks, and synchronization expectations are confirmed before enabling a connection.
Employees can submit a new-entry or correction request with the attendance date, proposed times, and reason. The authorized reviewer checks the request before approval. A missing punch should be reviewed rather than treated as an automatic pay deduction.
Leave and eligible overtime are reviewed alongside attendance and shift rules. Entitlements, eligibility, approval responsibilities, and payroll treatment depend on your configured policies; extra time does not automatically become payable overtime.
Yes. Configure the attendance location and radius for employees covered by the policy. Location checks depend on device permissions, GPS accuracy, connectivity, and any configured exceptions. A clock-in location check is separate from continuous location tracking.
For employees covered by an active policy, an incoming punch is mapped to the nearest eligible shift start when no roster assignment exists. Existing roster assignments are preserved for future punches. Historical remapping is a separate reviewed action with safeguards for protected records.
Yes. Maintain date-wise employee shift assignments and use the monthly shift roster template for imports. Review validation results and confirm assignments before use. Existing roster assignments take precedence over automatic mapping for future punches.
HR reviews the attendance period, resolves exceptions, and confirms the inputs used for payroll. Period locks help control later changes. Payroll calculations and final approval remain separate and follow your salary rules.
