Team attendance & leaves: Tracking daily and monthly records on your uKnowva instance

  • Print

In every organisation, there are multiple tasks that a team leader or a manager has to supervise. One such crucial task when managing a team is that you need to ensure that they are showing up at work on time and managing their leave accordingly.

When managers have complete visibility of their team members’ attendance, they can allocate projects more efficiently. When they have an HRMS like ours, they don’t need to manually follow-up all the time with their team members.

Similarly, a manager becomes self-sufficient when they can manage, check, regularise, and keep track of their team’s attendance and leaves history in a unified instance of uKnowva.

Let’s read about it below when it comes to checking your team members list, leave history, and daily attendance report.
