The following are the major enhancements, incorporated into the newest version of HRM System:

• Employee attendance tracking
 Punch in/out time allows employees to enter the time of arrival to and departure from the workplace
 Easy and hassle free attendance tracking by incorporating the punch in/out times into employee timesheets

• Enhanced timesheets
 Administrator’s ability to define the start of the working week for the timesheets adds on the flexibility for the system
 The detailed timesheet view ensures the easy access to all the timesheet information within a single button click
 Filtering by certain criteria, preview and printing of the timesheets



• Project management
 The new role of Project administrator has been introduced, granting project administrators with the privileges to define and modify their project activities and monitor project reports
 The project reports for the certain time period display the functionality
 By specifying the project and the relevant activities, employees can register and track their work time. The project and employee reports appear to be a handy tool for the project administrators, who can now manage the allocation of the tasks and time in regards with the past performance and occupancy of the employees.

• Hourly based leave
The leave management module has been re-engineered to provide more precise management of employee leave related operations in hours (the previous versions of the system allow day/half-day scaling).
 Administrators of the system can define working shifts, specifying the number of working hours per day assigning employees who are working according to this work shift.
