PHI HCM • THE STANDARD FOR MODERN HCM
Time and attendance software

Time and attendance software for a clearer workday.

Phi HCM connects employee time tracking, timesheets, attendance, pay rules, approvals, and payroll-ready data. Give employees, managers, HR, and payroll a shared view of recorded work and the exceptions that need attention.

01
Capture

Give employees a clear time experience.

Time and attendance software should make it obvious how people record activity, review their time, and understand what needs attention.

  • Time capture and timecards
  • Employee visibility and self-service
  • Pay codes and work-rule context
  • Mobile-friendly workforce workflows
02
Resolve

Move exceptions earlier in the process.

Managers and payroll teams need visibility into missing punches, attendance exceptions, approvals, corrections, and cutoff risk.

  • Manager review queues
  • Exception visibility and resolution
  • Approval paths and audit history
  • Earlier correction and reconciliation
03
Connect

Carry meaning into payroll readiness.

Time activity should connect to accruals, attendance, schedules, cost centers, payroll processes, and the broader workforce record.

  • Time-to-payroll workflow
  • Accruals and leave context
  • Schedule and attendance connections
  • Reporting and finance alignment
A practical evaluation scenario

Test a timecard correction before choosing a system.

Employee time tracking should make exceptions explainable. Bring a synthetic shift example and your policy requirements; do not submit real employee records through this website.

  1. Step 1

    Record the exception

    A fictional employee records a start time but misses the end-of-shift punch.

    What to verify: Check how the incomplete record appears to the employee and manager, and what prevents premature approval.

  2. Step 2

    Correct and recalculate

    The responsible reviewer enters the confirmed end time and reviews the calculated hours.

    What to verify: Compare the original and corrected record, rule application, access permissions, and review history.

  3. Step 3

    Approve the period

    The team completes required reviews before the payroll cutoff.

    What to verify: Confirm which hours are approved, how later corrections are handled, and how the receiving payroll process validates the export.

Questions for time and attendance software

Compare systems by the rules and exceptions your workforce actually runs, not only by the smoothest part of a demo script.

  • Can the system represent the time, pay, attendance, and approval rules that make your workforce unique?
  • Can employees see what was captured, changed, approved, or still needs attention?
  • Can managers resolve exceptions before the payroll cutoff?
  • Can time activity connect cleanly to schedules, accruals, payroll readiness, and reporting?

Questions buyers ask

Understand the system before you choose it.

What does employee time management software do?

Employee time management software records work hours and helps teams review timecards, exceptions, and approvals. In workforce management, it connects recorded activity to schedules, attendance, and payroll. It serves a different purpose from a personal to-do list or project task planner.

Are time tracking, timekeeping, and timesheet software related?

Yes. Time tracking and timekeeping describe recording work activity; timesheet software organizes those records for review. Compare how a system captures time, applies your rules, handles corrections, and documents approval before payroll.

How should we evaluate overtime and pay rules?

Bring representative shifts, pay codes, locations, and rule examples to the demonstration. Review the calculated hours, exceptions, approval responsibilities, and effect of a correction. Confirm the configuration required for your workforce and policies.
