How to use it

Before you rely on it
An attendance sheet is not the same thing as a statutory register. Where a register is prescribed for your establishment, it has its own required particulars and retention period.
When the spreadsheet stops scaling
A template is the right answer until the reconciliation between sheets costs more than the sheets save. Workclave records the same data as work happens, applies your policy automatically, and produces the register, the payroll input and the client hours statement from one source. Free for up to 3 users.
