Compliance & Automation Add-ons
Beyond tracking hours, Synktime automates the policy work that usually falls on HR - late fines, business rules, and attendance notifications sent directly to employees.
These add-ons matter most for businesses managing labour compliance across multiple GCC jurisdictions, where consistent documentation gets audited.
What Are Compliance & Automation Add-ons?
They are the layer of Synktime that turns raw attendance data into policy enforcement. Instead of HR manually checking who was late, applying fines by hand, or texting reminders individually, the rules run themselves once configured.
This is separate from basic attendance tracking, it's what happens after the punch is recorded.
How It Works
Set your policy once -
Configure grace periods, late fine amounts, shift patterns, overtime formulas, and leave rules.
GPS tags every check-in -
Each punch is recorded with the employee's location, giving HR a verifiable record which is useful for confirming field staff reached the right site.
Fines and rules apply automatically -
No manual review; the system applies your configured policy consistently across every employee and location.
Alerts go out on their own -
Attendance confirmations, late-arrival alerts, and shift reminders send directly to employees via WhatsApp, in English or Arabic.

Frequently Asked
Does GPS verification track employees all day, or just at check-in?
Just at check-in. Location is captured at the moment attendance is marked, not tracked continuously.
Can WhatsApp alerts be limited to specific teams?
Yes. Notification settings are configurable per team or individual employee.
Do rule changes apply retroactively to past attendance?
No. Changes apply going forward from the date they are set - past records and payroll calculations aren't altered.
