Time and attendance

Everything that happens between clocking in and the end of the shift.

Module 01

Attendance

Employees clock in and out from the mobile app and every record lands in one place.

GovHub records employee clock in and clock out events from the mobile app and the web console. Supervisors see live attendance for their teams, late arrivals and absences are flagged automatically, and HR works from a single accurate register instead of paper sheets spread across departments.

Module 02

Leave

Digital leave applications with balances, approvals, and a full history per employee.

Employees apply for leave from their phone, see their remaining balance before they submit, and track the status of every request. Applications move through the approval chain automatically, balances update once leave is approved, and HR keeps a complete audit trail for every leave type the municipality offers.

Module 03

Overtime

Capture, approve, and control overtime before it reaches the payroll run.

Overtime is captured against the hours actually worked and routed to the responsible supervisor and manager for approval. Departments can monitor overtime spend as it accumulates rather than after the fact, and only approved hours are released to payroll, which removes disputes at the end of the month.

People and pay

Applications, appointments, and the numbers that reach the payroll run.

Module 04

Study Assistance

Manage study assistance applications and outcomes in a structured workflow.

Employees submit study assistance applications with the supporting documents attached, and the request follows a defined approval workflow through the department and HR. Every application, approval, and outcome is stored against the employee record so the municipality can report on how development funding is used.

Module 05

Acting Assignments

Track acting appointments with clear start dates, end dates, and approvals.

Acting assignments are recorded with the position, the acting period, and the approving authority. GovHub keeps the assignment linked to the employee for the duration of the appointment so that allowances are paid correctly and the municipality always knows who is acting in which role at any point in time.

Module 06

Payroll

Approved attendance, leave, and overtime feed straight into the payroll process.

GovHub consolidates approved attendance, leave, overtime, and acting allowances into payroll ready data for each pay period. Finance works from figures that have already been checked and approved by the responsible managers, which shortens the payroll run and reduces manual capture errors.

Governance and insight

The record of what happened and the reports built on top of it.

Module 07

Audit Logs

Every action is recorded with the user, the change, and the timestamp.

GovHub keeps an immutable log of who did what and when across the platform. Submissions, approvals, rejections, and administrative changes are all recorded, which gives internal audit and oversight bodies the evidence trail they need without asking departments to reconstruct events from memory.

Module 08

Reporting and Analytics

Dashboards and exports that turn workforce data into decisions.

Managers get dashboards for attendance, leave liability, overtime spend, and headcount by department, with exports for council reporting and external audit. Because the data comes from the same approved records used for payroll, the numbers in a report always match the numbers in the system.
