About AttendanceBot

AttendanceBot is a vacation management, time tracking and employee scheduling solution for Slack which provides a central location from which to manage and approve staff leave requests, track attendance, billable hours and payroll, plus manage shift schedules, time off, availability, and more. As an online solution, AttendanceBot gives users the flexibility to track time on projects and apply for leave or remote work anytime, anywhere, via any internet-enabled device. Users can also set-up approvals, leave quotas and holidays according to company policy.

Time tracking technology allows users to clock in and out of work, as well as create timesheets directly within Slack. Users can also track billable hours for clients and projects, plus set-up and customize shifts and schedules for employees. Automated notifications serve to remind employees when to clock in and out based on their shifts. Managers then receive notifications in real-time when an employee punches in or out for their shift. AttendanceBot allows users to generate and download Excel reports, or schedule reports to be sent periodically to their inbox to stay up-to-date.

AttendanceBot supports absence and attendance management tools which enable employees to apply for leave and obtain approvals within Slack. Employees simply send a message such as ‘sick today’ in order to request leave. Managers receive requests instantly for approval. Managers can also customize the approval workflow, so that specified leave requests can be auto-approved or require multi-level approvals. AttendanceBot allows users to create their own leave types, as well as implement their own leave policies by defining their rules for leave accrual. Shift planning tools help users plan and manage weekly, fortnightly or monthly shifts for employees from a single dashboard. Managers can track lateness or no shows, and control shift reassignments on the fly.

    I really like the simplicity of our staff telling us where they are at all times during the work day. It's also nice for vacation reporting.

    Pros

    I love how we can naturally talk to the bot. Even today, I clicked on the bot and said "I'm working from Starbucks this morning" and it logged it and updated my status on Slack. .

    Cons

    I wish I could get a report of who's in-and-out a little simpler and quicker. I had to mute the channel I was receiving notifications on because they were a bit overwhelming.

    The team likes it, the management team find it limited

    Pros

    It is very easy to use if you already are a heavy Slack user. the bot can be configured with the mail leave types, and the team likes that it takes literally 1 second to announce a leave (type things like "work from home tomorrow" and it will record it)
    You can also see all the alerts in one channel

    Cons

    The count of annual leaves per person doesn't seem very precise. Also if your team is on different time zones and different contracts it makes it harder to maintain

    Putting a timecard into Slack just makes sense. Compared to other options I looked at, this one is heard to beat from a value and features standpoint!

    Pros

    My favorite things is the responsiveness of the support staff. When I had questions or input, it was handled extremely fast! It's easy and obvious to use, and it integrates to Slack great!

    Cons

    No complaints! Does what I want perfectly!
