Audience Q&A
Overtime rules, existing biometrics, ease of use, configuration and staff without smartphones.
Q&A highlights
Yes. Employees request overtime in the app, before or after the hours, depending on company policy. Once it's approved, the attendance and payroll modules apply local statutory rules, including the Philippines' roughly 1,200 overtime scenarios, with no manual work.
No. A PeoplesHR service connects to the server that collects your biometric data and pushes the raw punches in. They're then processed against the shifts defined in the system. Any type of device can connect.
"No one actually has a problem using an ATM." The app uses simple, HR-friendly icons, and each employee only sees the features enabled for them.
Yes. The implementation team configures it per client. The built-in Enterprise Security Manager controls who sees what, for example what supervisors can see of their team, or hiding mobile numbers in the employee directory. The mobile app follows the same settings.
The app runs on Android, iOS and Huawei's HarmonyOS. For staff on feature phones, companies can place a kiosk with an ATM-like interface in a common area.
