Attendance connection

Connect Work Schedules With Attendance

A schedule should not sit separately from your employee attendance system.

ConnectSimpli links assigned work schedules with Time & Attendance so managers can compare expected hours with actual working time and keep attendance records accurate.

This also helps your HR and payroll teams work from more reliable time data.
