PHI HCM • THE STANDARD FOR MODERN HCM
Workforce management software

Workforce management software that connects time, coverage, and pay.

Workforce management brings together the work you plan, the hours people record, and the exceptions managers need to resolve. Phi HCM connects Time, Attendance, Scheduling, Strategic Scheduling, Accruals, Leave, and payroll readiness with your broader HCM system.

01
Activity

Review time before the cutoff.

A missing punch should lead to a reviewable correction, not an unexplained payroll change. Follow the employee timecard through exception review, employee confirmation where required, and manager approval. Review the approved result before the payroll handoff.

  • Time capture and timecards
  • Attendance and exceptions
  • Accruals and leave balances
  • Approval history and reporting
Explore Time
02
Coverage

Plan work around reality.

Use a representative shift and absence scenario to evaluate coverage. Identify the location and role that need coverage, review availability and leave, and compare the resulting schedule with recorded time. Strategic Scheduling adds a focus on more complex coverage and operating constraints.

  • Coverage and demand visibility
  • Availability and preferences
  • Scheduling and Strategic Scheduling
  • Connections to time and attendance
Explore Strategic Scheduling
03
Control

Make the handoff explainable.

Time review, payroll review, and reporting are different responsibilities. Trace the pay period, pay codes, approvals, and source results across that handoff. Review labor allocation with finance and use Business Intelligence to understand the records behind a report.

  • Payroll-ready data and review
  • Labor cost and finance alignment
  • Role-based governance
  • A path from focused deployment to global scale

A practical evaluation scenario

Follow a shift from planning to payroll readiness.

Evaluate WFM as a connected process. Use a fictional shift and an absence to see where employees, managers, and payroll each take responsibility.

  1. Step 1

    Plan coverage

    An employee has approved leave on a day that still requires coverage at a particular location.

    What to verify: Review the leave decision, required role, available people, and manager approval of the revised schedule.

  2. Step 2

    Review actual work

    The replacement employee works the shift but has a missing punch.

    What to verify: Follow the correction, employee confirmation where required, calculation rules, and timecard approval.

  3. Step 3

    Reconcile the handoff

    Payroll receives the reviewed hours for the period while operations compares planned and actual coverage.

    What to verify: Confirm the cutoff, pay codes, receiving-system format, reconciliation owner, and correction process.

Illustrative evaluation scenario—not a customer case study, product image, or guarantee of a particular result. Confirm availability and configuration for your deployment.

Workforce management software evaluation

Bring a real scheduling constraint, timecard exception, and payroll cutoff to your evaluation. The workflows above are demo scenarios, not customer results; validate the configured rules and connected services for your own rollout.

  • Can employees and managers complete everyday workforce actions easily?
  • Can the system manage exceptions before they create payroll or coverage problems?
  • Can scheduling reflect demand, skills, availability, and policy constraints?
  • Can workforce activity become approved, reviewable, and financially aligned data?

Questions buyers ask

Understand the system before you choose it.

What does workforce management software include?

Workforce management commonly includes timekeeping, attendance, scheduling, absence, and the review steps that prepare workforce activity for payroll. In Phi HCM, these capabilities are organized into modules so the scope can reflect your workforce and operating rules.

Is workforce management the same as payroll?

No. Workforce management records and reviews the work and absence activity that can affect pay. Payroll applies the relevant earnings, deductions, and other configured rules. Define the data, approvals, cutoff, and correction responsibilities between them before deployment.

When should we evaluate Strategic Scheduling?

Evaluate Strategic Scheduling when coverage needs extend beyond a basic roster: for example, different roles, locations, skills, availability, and demand patterns. Bring representative constraints to the demo to confirm the right configuration and module scope.

How does workforce management connect to HCM?

Core HCM provides the employee and organization context. Workforce management uses that context for day-to-day work, while payroll, finance, and Business Intelligence support the next review and reporting steps. Agree which system owns each field when other systems remain in place.
