Feature Scope
Namely combines time and attendance tracking with scheduling, payroll, HR, benefits, and compliance tools in a cloud-based HCM platform. Employees can record time through physical or biometric clocks, a web clock, or a mobile app with geofencing and geotagged entries. Editable online timesheets sync approved time to payroll.
Managers can build and publish schedules, view coverage in real time, approve time entries, and configure overtime, breaks, attendance policies, and PTO accruals. Employees can view schedules, swap or drop shifts, and request time off. Job costing assigns hours to tasks, locations, or job codes; dashboards, custom reports, and audit trails support labor analysis.
The platform also provides OSHA, EEO-1, EEOC, and ACA reporting; guided I-9 verification with secure document collection; multi-state compliance alerts; an employee handbook with version control; and a compliance library. Additional resources include anonymous reporting, more than 300 compliance and workplace courses, and access to live HR advisors.
