What it does
ZenHR manages employee information, attendance, time off and payroll operations. Time-off details show balances and the approval cycle, with separate actions for pending and approved requests.
Open a time-off request to inspect its balance, status and approval cycle. Pending requests can be withdrawn; approved requests use Request to Cancel. When submitting leave, check the chosen type and dates against the calculated amount.
An authorized administrator can open mobile Dashboard → My Actions → Approval Override, inspect the approval cycle and choose Take action for an approver. Approve or reject there. The history records who acted on the approver's behalf, and both the requester and original approver receive notifications. This section requires permission to approve pending transactions, so assign access to the people responsible for covering absences.
ZenHR prices Value and Advanced per organization, using headcount, countries and the chosen bundle. Value includes payroll, attendance, onboarding and employee self-service. Advanced adds centralized sign-in, salary scales, cost centers, company expenses and developer connections. Ask for a written quote covering your entities and migration needs; the mobile approval process requires a logged-in account.
