How working-time recording works

The work day's journey from a proposal to your confirmation, the manager's approval and payroll.

Updated

A work day takes four steps in Kelomo: Kelomo proposes → you confirm → the manager approves → payroll exports. Your part is to check and confirm your own days – the rest happens without you.

1. Kelomo proposes the day

Kelomo builds a complete proposal for the day from the sources in use in your organisation: the work-time model, the published shift, the punches and the calendar. The proposal is only a calculation on screen – nothing has been recorded until you confirm.

2. You check and confirm

Before confirmation the day is a draft: correct entries and breaks freely. Confirming makes the day your statement to your employer – this is how this day went. See Confirm your work day.

Noticed a mistake after confirming? You can reopen your own day for editing as long as your manager has not approved it.

3. The manager approves

A confirmed day moves to your manager’s Approvals queue. The manager approves the day or returns it to you with a reason – a returned day rises onto your home page to be corrected.

4. An approved day moves on to payroll

Only approved days end up in the payroll data. Confirming your days on time therefore shows directly in your pay being right and on time.

What you can rely on

  • Approved data does not change unnoticed. Corrections after approval go through the manager, and every correction stays visible. See Correct an already confirmed day.
  • The calculation does not change retroactively. Once a day is confirmed, later changes to the work-time model or the shift plan do not change its calculation.

If something goes wrong

The proposal looks wrong. Correct the day before confirming – a draft can be edited freely. See Edit the day’s entries and breaks.

My manager returned my day. You see the reason on the home page and in the week view. Correct the day and confirm it again.
