Manufacturing
Plants need exact hours against fixed shifts, with overtime and breaks handled by policy, and a clean path from the punch to payroll.
In plain words
Plants run on fixed shifts, with strict start times, set breaks and overtime that has to agree with agreements and law. A few minutes of lateness repeated across hundreds of people matters, and so does an approved period that quietly changes.
dayFlow measures each person against their shift with the grace you set, takes the break off long unbroken days, counts overtime at your rate, and freezes the month when payroll is done.
The challenge
Today
With dayFlow
How dayFlow helps
Late is decided with your grace minutes; early leave likewise; the unpaid break comes off long sessions; overtime starts where your policy says. The same rules apply every day.
In practice
Approvals are per day, with corrections visible, and a closed period is frozen and locked. Rules changed later apply from then on, not backwards.
In practice
Missed clock-outs, mismatches and doubtful punches are listed for the supervisor to clear before the week is approved.
In practice
A normal day
07:00
Production shift starts; late is counted after the grace minutes.
12:00
Unpaid break is taken off long unbroken days.
15:00
Overtime beyond the shift counts at your rate.
Month end
The period is approved, closed and locked.
Examples
A three-shift plant
Day, evening and night shifts are defined once. Supervisors see lateness per shift and approve at the end of the week.
Overtime before a deadline
A line works extra hours. Overtime is counted at the agreed rate and approved with the days.
Payroll week
Finance closes the period and exports the sheet; nobody can change the numbers afterwards without reopening it on record.
