From Timesheet to Paycheck to Invoice: Where Hours-to-Cash Leaks Happen
A billable hour has a journey. It starts when someone works, gets recorded in a timesheet, passes through approval and payroll, and eventually appears on a client invoice.
Attendance that works on the devices your team already owns.
Turn every workday into a reliable record.
Most attendance problems are not really attendance problems. They are the hours your HR team spends fixing them. Someone forgot to punch out. The thumb scanner did not read a finger. The device at the second office broke again, so that whole branch is on a WhatsApp group and a spreadsheet. By the time payroll starts, no one is sure which numbers are real. WorkMentor removes the machine from the middle of all this. Your people open WorkMentor in a browser on whatever device is already in their hand and check in. The office location, the shift, the grace minutes and the working hours are already set by you, so the record is correct the moment it is created. Late marks, early leaving, overtime and worked hours are calculated for you, not typed in later by someone at the end of the month.

The kiosk is any tablet or phone.
WorkMentor runs on the computers already on the desks, a tablet running as a kiosk at the entrance, and the phones people carry, with the same shift rules, holidays, and leave balances on each one. Every check in, correction, and approval lands on the same record payroll and performance reviews read from.

Location aware check in and check out, plus work from home records, follow the same policies HR already set.
Leave without the back and forth

What Is Geofencing Attendance and How Does It Work?
Geofencing attendance is a way of recording employee attendance using a virtual boundary around an approved location. When an employee is inside that boundary, they can check in on their own phone or computer. When they are outside it, the system can block or flag the check-in.

Common questions
Questions about attendance and leave.
How do employees check in with WorkMentor?
Employees check in from their phone with the WorkMentor mobile app, so no terminals or badge readers are needed. Check-ins are location-aware, and work from home days are recorded separately from office attendance.
Can WorkMentor track shifts and late arrivals?
Yes. HR defines shift schedules, and WorkMentor records late arrivals and early departures against them. Holidays and working day overrides adjust the schedule, and employees can request attendance corrections for managers to approve.
How does leave management work in WorkMentor?
HR sets up leave types and quotas. Employees submit leave requests, managers approve them in the same flow as attendance requests, and leave reports show what has been requested and approved.
Does attendance data feed into payroll?
Yes. Approved attendance and leave are ready for payroll preparation, so totals do not have to be rebuilt by hand. The same data also feeds performance reviews and attendance automation rules.
Is attendance tracking included in the Free plan?
The Free plan includes basic attendance and leave access for one user. The Pro plan includes the complete attendance and leave workflow with multi-user access. Pro costs $9 per user per month and starts with a 30-day free trial, with no credit card required.
