Attendance Management
Configure work calendars, shifts, locations, attendance records, corrections, approvals, and attendance reporting.
What this service does
DeskGo attendance follows the work calendar and rules configured by the company. Accurate timezone, working days, weekly days off, holidays, shifts, and approval ownership are more important than relying on an assumed default policy.
Who it is for
Office, hybrid, field, shift-based, and multi-branch teams that need an explicit attendance process.
