    The cost of manual HR

    Still managing attendance and leave by spreadsheet, register and WhatsApp?

    01

    Manual attendance

    Registers and biometric exports that someone has to reconcile by hand, every single day.

    02

    Complicated approvals

    Leave requests scattered across email, calls and chat, with no single record of who approved what.

    03

    Errors that compound

    One missed punch or miscount ripples into payroll, and HR ends up firefighting instead of planning.

    04

    Constant follow-up

    Employees ask HR for balances and status that they should be able to see themselves.

    Manacle brings attendance and leave together in one automated system — so records are accurate by default, not by effort.

    Everything you need to manage attendance & leave

    Six connected modules that replace the registers, spreadsheets and side-channels HR teams currently stitch together.

    01

    Smart attendance management

    Track attendance accurately across shifts and locations with automated records and real-time visibility into who's in, out or late.

    02

    Automated leave management

    Employees apply for leave in a few taps; managers review and approve from anywhere, with every decision logged automatically.

    03

    Employee self-service

    Give employees direct access to attendance history, leave balances and request status — without a single call to HR.

    04

    Real-time attendance tracking

    See absences, late arrivals and attendance patterns as they happen, not at month-end when it's too late to act.

    05

    Custom leave policies

    Configure leave types, entitlements and approval workflows to match how your organization actually operates.

    06

    Reports & insights

    Generate attendance and leave reports on demand, so HR decisions are backed by current data, not guesswork.

    Manage attendance & leave in three steps

    No lengthy rollout. Configure once, and the system runs itself from there.

    Attendance dashboard

    An instant view of who is present, absent, late or on leave across every office, site and field territory. Managers see exceptions first, so they can follow up the same morning, and HR no longer compiles attendance from registers or spreadsheets at the end of every month.

    2

    Leave balance

    Employees see exactly how much of each leave type they have left before they apply, based on your policy and what they have already taken. Balances update automatically after every approval, which removes guesswork, reduces back-and-forth with HR and prevents leave being granted beyond entitlement.

    3

    Approval workflow

    Leave requests reach the right manager instantly, with the team calendar and the employee’s balance alongside. Managers approve or reject in one tap from the office or the field, multi-level approvals follow your hierarchy, and employees are notified straight away, so no request sits forgotten in an inbox.

    4

    Employee records

    Every attendance entry, leave request and approval is stored against the employee in one organised record, with dates, locations and approver notes. HR can answer queries quickly, produce reports for payroll and audits in minutes, and keep a clean history even when managers or teams change.

    • Shift, roster and weekly-off rules applied automatically.
    • Late marks, half days and absences flagged without manual checks.
