WorkEdge - Workforce Management

The all-in-one Workforce Optimization platform designed to streamline scheduling, automate attendance, and unlock actionable people insights. A comprehensive Employee Workforce Optimization (WFO) suite is designed to handle the entire "life-cycle" of a shift. Below is a detailed list of functions categorized by the four core modules you requested.

1. Time & Attendance

Omni-channel Clock-in: Support for mobile apps (iOS/Android), web-based portals, physical biometric terminals (fingerprint/facial recognition), and digital kiosks.
Geofencing & GPS Tracking: Restrict clock-ins to specific GPS coordinates or "sites" to prevent off-site time logging.
Auto-Rounding & Grace Periods: Automatically round clock-in times to the nearest increment (e.g., 5 or 15 minutes) based on company policy.
Overtime Guardrails: Real-time alerts when an employee is approaching daily or weekly overtime limits.
Break Management: Automated tracking of paid and unpaid breaks, ensuring compliance with labor laws.
Digital Timesheet Approvals: A streamlined workflow for managers to review, edit, and bulk-approve timesheets.
Audit Trails: Detailed logs of every manual change made to a time record for legal and compliance security.
This module ensures every minute worked is captured accurately and feeds directly into payroll.

2. Workforce Scheduling

AI-Powered Forecasting: Predict future staffing needs based on historical data, seasonal trends, or integrated sales/POS data.
Drag-and-Drop Roster Builder: Visual interface to create weekly or monthly schedules in minutes.
Skill-Based Routing: Assign shifts only to employees with the required certifications or training levels.

Shift Swapping & Trading: Peer-to-peer shift exchanges with automated manager notification and approval.

Return-to-Work (RTW) Workflows: Automated triggers for interviews and documentation when an employee returns from long-term leave.

4. People Analytics

Executive Dashboards: High-level visualization of headcount, labor costs, and turnover rates.
Planned vs. Actual Analysis: Compare scheduled hours against actual hours worked to identify operational leaks.
Absenteeism Trends: Heatmaps showing which days, shifts, or departments have the highest call-out rates.
Predictive Attrition Modeling: Identify "flight risk" employees by analyzing patterns in engagement and attendance.
Productivity Metrics: Correlate labor hours against output (e.g., Sales per Labor Hour or Units Produced).
Diversity & Inclusion Reporting: Breakdown of workforce demographics by role, department, and pay grade.
Compliance Reporting: Instant generation of reports for EEO, ACA, or local labor board audits.
