What Trakkar keeps together
Managing employee attendance in India means shift start times, grace minutes, casual and earned leave, festival holidays, and WFH weeks. A simple clock-in button doesn't cover it, and spreadsheets get harder to keep straight as headcount and approval chains grow. Trakkar models the shift and leave templates Indian teams use, routes WFH and corrections through one Requests queue, and keeps attendance beside billable project time, so operations and finance work from the same numbers.
Trakkar Premium is ₹120/user.

How it works in Trakkar
A practical workflow your team can run every billing cycle.
- Configure shifts, grace, and holiday calendarSet default shift start (for example 9:30 AM), grace minutes, and regional holidays. Employees see the rule on the attendance screen when they check in.
There is a short walk-through of shift timings and grace on a team roster.
- Define Indian leave types and balancesUse templates for casual, earned, sick, and unpaid leave with opening balances. Leave reasons stay visible to HR and managers, not the whole company.
- Monitor the live attendance boardFilter by in, late, not in, or on leave. See check-in time with late minutes after grace, worked hours, breaks, and office vs home location.
Watch clock-in and worked hours in one step, including late minutes after grace.
- Approve leave, WFH, and time correctionsManagers act on pending items from Requests or the home dashboard. Approvals update balances and attendance automatically, so nobody enters anything twice.
- Keep attendance, leave, and WFH in one placeAttendance, leave, and WFH records sit in one place, next to project time, so you don't rebuild them in a spreadsheet at month end.
