WorkMonitor for shift teams
Every shift accounted for, in the time zone it was worked
Attendance from activity rather than a punch clock, coverage per local day, and geofenced job sites, so handover gaps show up before a customer finds them.
Free for two seats, no card.

Rollout
Getting a rota onto a record that holds
- 1
Define the sites
Geofenced job sites with clock in and out, in beta, for the work that does not happen at a desk, feeding the same attendance record as everyone else.
- 2
Compute the day locally
First and last activity per person per local day, so a rota spanning time zones is compared fairly rather than against head-office hours.
- 3
Approve on a chain that holds
Append-only timesheets with correction chains and separation of duties, so a disputed shift has a trail rather than a rewritten cell.
- 4
Export straight to pay
Approved hours feed the payroll run through one shared rate engine and an integer-cent pre-flight, with no re-keying step in between.
A punch clock vs. a record of the shift that ran
workmonitor.vsRota and attendance today
What attendance means
With WorkMonitor
First and last activity, with idle detected and split out rather than rounded.
Rota and attendance today
The moment somebody badged in, which is not the same as the work.
Time zones
With WorkMonitor
Per-person local day, with coverage computed across sites.
Rota and attendance today
One report in head-office hours, quietly marking a whole region as late.
Off-desk work
With WorkMonitor
Clock in and out against geofenced job sites, in beta, on the same record.
Rota and attendance today
A paper sheet or a text message, transcribed on Monday.
Corrections
With WorkMonitor
Corrections append, carrying the author and the reason, with the original still readable.
Rota and attendance today
The cell is overwritten and the original is gone.
Getting to payroll
With WorkMonitor
Approved hours seed the run directly, pre-flighted in integer cents before export.
Rota and attendance today
Export, re-key, reconcile.
Problems during the shift
With WorkMonitor
Anomalies surfaced while the shift is still running.
Rota and attendance today
Raised in the handover, after the shift ended.

The status meeting, already written
Status is normally assembled by asking. Here it is already: hours, activity, attendance and risk on one board, for one person or the whole company. Set the thresholds once and it tells you who needs you.
Jobs to be done
The jobs a shift operation runs here
- Track time automaticallyNo timer to start, no Friday reconstruction. Idle is split out rather than estimated, and approved hours reach payroll and invoicing without a re-key.
- Run payroll from approved hoursApproved timesheets seed the run, one rate engine prices pay and billing, an integer-cent pre-flight has to balance, and the export is gated to the owner.
- Catch anomalies with smart alertsAnomaly detection against your own baseline, six named agents on specific jobs, evidence-cited summaries, and delivery to a channel your team already reads.
- Manage remote & hybrid teamsOne live board across every zone, attendance in each person’s local day, capacity bands that name who is drowning, and a rollout that never touches a machine.
Straight answers
The questions we would ask in your position
Every answer here is the one you would get on a call. Open as many as you like; they stay open, so two can be held side by side.
Partly, and it is worth being precise about which part. Geofenced job sites cover on-location presence, and attendance derives from whatever activity the shift produces. A dedicated mobile app for fully deskless teams is planned rather than shipped, the product pages carry the current status.
Activity is read per local day, not against a head-office clock. That is the difference between 98.2% coverage looking fine and a two-seat hole at 02:00 in Manila being visible.
Yes. Approved hours feed payroll runs on the same ledger, which removes the manual re-keying step where shift-pay disputes usually originate. Approval is multi-stage with separation of duties, so a total is signed off by somebody other than the person who worked it.
The activity behind the total is there, the approval chain shows who accepted it and when, and the employee has a self-view of what was collected plus a route to appeal a specific capture. The dispute runs through a process with a record rather than through two people’s memories.

Take these with you
The software is the easy part of a rollout
Here is what we would send a manager doing one for the first time: how to read a productivity number, what to say to a remote team before anything is installed, and a policy you can adopt as written.
Point it at one team for a week.
Create the account, put the agent on a handful of desks, and leave it alone. On Friday you read the week instead of reconstructing it: hours against their projects, focus and idle per person, and the timesheets already filled in.
