People Manager Guide

As a team lead or tean manager in BonardaHR, you have access to specialized manager workflows for team approvals, attendance oversight and leave management.

1. Manager Dashboard & Approvals Inbox​

When you log in with manager permissions, your Dashboard includes a dedicated Management Overview section:

  • Pending Approvals Counter: Quick badge showing how many timesheets and time-off requests need your sign-off.
  • Team Availability Widget: Live snapshot of who is currently working, on break, on leave, or out of office today.
  • Approvals Inbox: Centralized feed for fast 1-click approvals or detailed reviews.

2. Reviewing & Approving Timesheets​

Steps to Review Timesheets:​

  1. Navigate to Attendance → Team Timesheets (or click the alert in your Dashboard).
  2. Filter by your department or direct reports.
  3. Click on an employee's timesheet to inspect daily entries, start/end timestamps, break durations, and overtime flags.
  4. Approve: If everything matches expected schedules, click Approve Timesheet.
  5. Reject / Request Changes: If hours are missing or incorrect, click Reject, enter an explanatory comment (e.g., "Please adjust Thursday hours to account for early departure"), and send back to the employee for resubmission.

3. Managing Team Leave & Time Off​

Reviewing Leave Requests​

  1. Open Time → Team Time.
  2. Click on any pending request to view:
    • Requested dates and total working days.
    • Leave policy type (e.g., Annual, Sick, Parental).
    • The employee's remaining balance.
    • Notes or medical certificates attached.
  3. Check the Team Calendar Overlap Bar (highlighted if another team member in the same department is already off on overlapping days).
  4. Click Approve or Decline (with reason).
