Employee Guide: Using SignHR Daily

Dashboard, attendance, leaves, payslips, and requests

Your dashboard — the first thing you see

After logging in, the Dashboard gives you a snapshot of your day and everything you need at a glance.

What's on your dashboard:

  • Attendance status — see if you're punched in or out, and your check-in time.
  • Pending leave requests — track the status of any leave you've applied for.
  • Upcoming events — birthdays, work anniversaries, and holidays.
  • Assigned tasks — tasks and checklists with due dates.
  • Quick action buttons — apply for leave, mark attendance, or submit a request in one click.
  • Notifications — approvals, comments, and updates from your team.

Mark your attendance

Go to Attendance to punch in at the start of your shift and punch out at the end.

Punch methods (depending on your company's setup):

  • Kiosk — tap on a shared device at the office entrance.
  • Face Recognition — take a selfie using your phone or device camera.
  • Geo Tagged — punch from your phone with GPS stamp (for remote/field work).
  • Biometric Device — use a fingerprint or iris scanner (if available).

After punching in:

  • You'll see your check-in time on the screen.
  • Punch out at the end of your shift to complete the record.
  • Your daily attendance log shows check-in, check-out, and effective hours.
  • If you forget to punch, submit an Attendance Correction from Requests.

Late or early punches are flagged in the log. Contact your manager if you need a correction.

In their words

Loved by the people who run HR.

Hear what HR leaders across India say about running people ops on SignHR.

Our QC checks are logged every single shift. My last audit was a five-minute export instead of a week digging through registers.

Our crew just ask the assistant about their shift or pay now, and it answers correctly with the policy attached — even on a 500-person event day.
