AttendanceBot is a comprehensive tool for Slack and Microsoft Teams, designed to streamline time off, time tracking, shift planning, availability, and hybrid work management.
Time Off, Absence, and Leave Scheduling – AttendanceBot allows for quick logging of time off, creation of approval flows, team notifications, and schedule synchronization with Outlook, Google, or Apple calendars. It provides administrators with full control over leave types, rules, accruals, organizational holidays, and blackout dates. Teams gain immediate access to balances, approvals, team availability, and past or future reporting via CSV or an external dashboard.
Time Tracking – AttendanceBot simplifies time tracking, whether working remotely or in the office. Simple ‘in’ and ‘out’ messages are used to punch in and out, enhancing timesheet accuracy. The tool also allows for tracking time spent on projects or clients, with powerful visualizations for analysis. It keeps the team informed through channel announcements, availability queries, and a punch board displaying the team’s status.
Shift Planning – AttendanceBot’s sleek interface allows for efficient scheduling of employee shifts, with all relevant information kept within Slack. It notifies team members of their assignments, sends reminders for upcoming shifts, allows for employee-driven reassignment, and enables employees to claim open shifts.
Availability and Hybrid Work – AttendanceBot aids in managing return-to-office and hybrid work policies. It allows for scheduling time in the office or at home with simple commands. It also enables the creation of recurring team schedules, setting of office capacities for social distancing, and synchronization with Slack status.
Birthdays – AttendanceBot helps foster team cohesion with features like birthday shoutouts, work anniversary announcements, and custom reminders.
AttendanceBot is free for teams of 5 or fewer.
