Which Indian leave types are supported?

Trakkar includes templates for common leave types such as casual, earned, and sick leave, with balances and approval workflows. Customize labels to match your HR policy.

Can I export attendance for Indian payroll?

Yes. Run attendance and work summary reports for any date range and export them as CSV or Excel for your payroll tool. Trakkar doesn't replace statutory payroll filing, but it gives you clean attendance data.

How does Trakkar compare to Zoho People for attendance?

Zoho People focuses on HR records and leave. Trakkar adds billable project time, optional screenshots, and GST client invoicing in the same product. See our Zoho People alternative page.

What does attendance management cost?

Attendance, leave, shifts, WFH approvals, time tracking, and GST invoicing are included in Trakkar Team at ₹120/user/month.

Managing employee attendance in India means shift start times, grace minutes, casual and earned leave, festival holidays, and WFH weeks. A simple clock-in button doesn't cover it, and spreadsheets get harder to keep straight as headcount and approval chains grow. Trakkar models the shift and leave templates Indian teams use, routes WFH and corrections through one Requests queue, and keeps attendance beside billable project time, so operations and finance work from the same numbers.

Step by step

How it works in Trakkar

A practical workflow your team can run every billing cycle.

Configure shifts, grace, and holiday calendar — Set default shift start (for example 9:30 AM), grace minutes, and regional holidays. Employees see the rule on the attendance screen when they check in.
Define Indian leave types and balances — Use templates for casual, earned, sick, and unpaid leave with opening balances. Leave reasons stay visible to HR and managers, not the whole company.
Monitor the live attendance board — Filter by in, late, not in, or on leave. See check-in time with late minutes after grace, worked hours, breaks, and office vs home location.
Approve leave, WFH, and time corrections — Managers act on pending items from Requests or the home dashboard. Approvals update balances and attendance automatically, so nobody enters anything twice.
Export attendance for payroll and audits — Run attendance and work summary reports for any date range: today, the last 7 or 30 days, this or last month, or a custom range. Export them as CSV or Excel, ready for your payroll tool or your accountant’s spreadsheet.

Operations view

Managers see their team's full day, from clock-in on

The home overview shows how many people are working, on leave, or waiting on approvals. Attendance ties to project hours, so you can tell whether a late arrival affected delivery before the client notices.
