What this service does

DeskGo attendance follows the company's configured work calendar, timezone, working days, holidays, shifts, and attendance rules. Keep the calendar accurate first, then use attendance records and approvals for daily operations.

Start with the workflow you need. DeskGo is modular, so a company can enable this service without being required to use every other DeskGo module.

Who it is for

Companies managing office, hybrid, field, shift-based, or multi-branch teams that need dependable attendance and approval workflows.

Recommended setup

  1. Set company timezone

    Choose the timezone used by attendance records, work calendars, automation, reports, and daily operational dates.

  2. Configure the work calendar

    Select working days, planned weekly days off, company holidays, and any special working dates. DeskGo follows the configured calendar and does not invent a weekend policy.

  3. Define shifts and locations

    Add shift timings, grace rules, locations, geofencing or device expectations, and the teams that use each rule.

  4. Set approval ownership

    Decide who reviews corrections, leave, overtime, missed punches, and attendance exceptions before payroll or reporting.
