TIME & ATTENDANCE | HRMANAGEMENT365
Capture, approve and use working time through one connected process.
When hours, breaks, attendance and project time are recorded in different places, every correction creates more work for employees, managers, HR and payroll.
HRManagement365 brings time capture, review and approval into a controlled Microsoft-based process — giving employees practical ways to record their time and giving managers clearer information to act on.
Bring your current clocking, timesheet or attendance process and we’ll show how it could work in HRManagement365.
PRODUCT SCREENSHOT PLACEHOLDER
Replace placeholder.png with an approved Time & Attendance screen. Recommended landscape image, approximately 16:10.
Stop rebuilding the same working-time record at every stage.
The problem is rarely just how somebody clocks in.
The real problem starts when the information has to be checked, corrected, approved, reported and passed to the next process.
Before
Disconnected time recording
1
Employees record time
In spreadsheets, paper forms, separate clocking systems or emails.
2
Managers chase missing entries
Errors and incomplete records have to be found and corrected manually.
3
HR or payroll checks the data again
Information is consolidated and reviewed before it can be trusted.
4
Finance and operations wait
The wider business waits for approved information it can actually use.
With HRManagement365
One controlled process
1
Employees capture working time
Use a recording method appropriate to their role and working environment.
2
Rules and workflows identify what needs attention
Exceptions are surfaced rather than relying on somebody to manually review every record.
3
Managers review and approve
The relevant employee and working-time information is available during the approval process.
4
Approved records become usable data
Working-time information can support HR, reporting and configured downstream processes.
Capture the information once. Control what happens next.
Time & Attendance should do more than collect hours.
Three practical reasons to connect capture, approval and downstream use rather than treating time recording as an isolated task.
1
Capture time where work happens
Give different employees practical ways to record their working time.
- Start and stop clocking
- Grid-style time entry
- Virtual or physical clocking
- Browser, Microsoft Teams and Outlook
- Tablet and smartphone
- Compatible data-entry terminals
This allows the process to reflect how different employees actually work rather than forcing every role into one method.
Operational gain
Reduce dependence on one rigid method of time entry.
2
Put exceptions in front of the right manager
Turn recorded time into a controlled approval process.
Instead of HR checking every record manually, configured rules and workflows can route information requiring attention to the appropriate people. Managers can review working-time information while HR retains a structured record of the process.
Operational gain
Spend less time chasing timesheets and more time resolving genuine exceptions.
3
Make approved time useful
Working-time information should not finish its journey when the timesheet is approved.
HRManagement365 is built around Microsoft Power Platform and Dataverse, creating a Microsoft-based foundation for HR information, reporting, automation and connected business processes.
Approved working-time information can therefore become useful beyond the Time & Attendance module itself.
Operational gain
Create a more dependable source of working-time information for the processes that depend on it.
One time process. Different ways to record the work.
Choose capture methods around real working environments rather than forcing office, mobile and site-based employees into the same interaction.
Start / Stop Clocking
Clock working time as it happens.
Employees can start and stop recording time rather than recreating their working day afterwards.
Suitable for
- Operational employees
- Service teams
- Field-based roles
- Environments where actual start and finish times matter
Timesheet Grid
Enter working time in a familiar grid.
Employees who record time periodically can enter working hours through a grid-style interface instead of using a traditional physical clock.
Suitable for
- Office employees
- Professional services
- Project-based roles
- Employees recording hours against activities
Microsoft and Mobile Access
Record time from the tools and devices employees already use.
Employees can access HR processes across digital working environments including Microsoft applications, browser and mobile devices.
Suitable for
- Hybrid workforces
- Remote employees
- Travelling employees
- Distributed teams
Physical Clocking and Terminals
Connect digital HR with the physical workplace.
Physical or virtual time clocks and compatible data-entry terminals can support environments where employees need to record attendance from a specific workplace.
Suitable for
- Manufacturing
- Warehouses
- Distribution
- Multi-site organisations
- Operational workforces
Optional FaceClocking
Need a low-touch clocking option?
FaceClocking can provide an additional facial-recognition-based clocking method through compatible devices, with clocking information connected back to the wider HR environment.
It is an optional extension, not a requirement for the core Time & Attendance process.
From a clocking to an approved record.
Follow one operational path from capture to usable information.
01
Record
Employee records working time
Use the configured method appropriate to the employee and working environment — for example start/stop, grid entry, mobile, browser, Microsoft environment or a clocking terminal.
02
Check
Apply the relevant working-time logic
The recorded information enters the configured working-time process.
03
Identify
Surface exceptions
Missing, unusual or otherwise reviewable entries are made visible rather than disappearing into spreadsheets or email chains.
04
Approve
Route the record to the appropriate manager
Managers review the relevant information and resolve items requiring attention.
05
Record
Create the approved working-time record
HR retains structured employee and working-time information within HRManagement365.
06
Use
Put approved time to work
Use the resulting information for reporting, automation and configured downstream HR, ERP, project or payroll processes.
Configured downstream processes keep the data useful without implying every payroll, ERP or project flow behaves identically out of the box.
One time record. Useful to more than one department.
Employees
Make recording time easier.
Use an appropriate capture method whether employees are office-based, remote, travelling or working from a physical site.
Less friction around recording the working day.
Managers
See what needs your attention.
Review working-time information and exceptions through a structured approval process.
Less chasing and clearer accountability.
HR & Payroll
Work from more dependable information.
Move away from repeated checking, manual consolidation and multiple versions of the same working-time record.
Greater confidence before information moves downstream.
Operations & Finance
Connect time with the work behind it.
Approved working-time information can contribute to reporting and configured operational processes.
Better visibility of the workforce information behind operational and financial decisions.
IT
Keep HR inside the Microsoft architecture.
HRManagement365 is built around Microsoft Power Platform and Dataverse and forms part of the wider Microsoft environment used for identity, reporting, workflow and business applications.
Reduce the need to introduce another isolated HR technology stack.
Time data should not become another Microsoft integration problem.
If your organisation already runs on Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 or Business Central, adding time recording should not mean creating another disconnected data island.
HRManagement365 is built on Microsoft Power Platform and is designed to extend HR capability for organisations operating within the Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem.
The process should make five things clear:
- Where time originates
- Where it is processed
- Who approves it
- Where the record is stored
- Which systems use it afterwards

“But our time process isn’t standard.”
That is usually the important question.
Time & Attendance needs to reflect how employees actually work — including where they work, how time is captured, who approves it and what happens to the approved information afterwards.

Time & Attendance FAQs
Start with the questions that determine fit: working patterns, capture methods, downstream use and Microsoft architecture.
Will it support our shifts, breaks and overtime rules?
Your actual working-time policies should be reviewed during solution design. Bring examples of shift patterns, break rules, overtime, working-week structures, exceptions and approval requirements so they can be mapped against the available configuration.
How can employees record their working time?
Can approved time connect to payroll?
How does it work with Business Central?
Can we use physical clocking terminals?
Is facial recognition required?
Where is the data stored?
Can it support multiple companies or legal entities?
Do all employees have to clock in in the same way?
Can time be recorded against projects or activities?
See your own time process in HRManagement365.
Your employees may record time differently. Your managers may have different approval responsibilities. Your payroll, project and operational systems may use the resulting information differently.
That is exactly why the next step should be a demonstration built around your working-time process.
Bring an example timesheet, clocking process, shift pattern or approval workflow. We’ll use it to make the demonstration relevant to the way your organisation actually operates.
