EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE TRACKING SOFTWARE
Real-time attendance tracking that flows directly into payroll with no manual reconciliation.
Certiva Workforce Control is employee attendance tracking software for businesses with 10 to 75 employees. It captures real-time shift data, manages leave approval workflows with running balance tracking, flags overtime exceptions before they lock in, and exports clean payroll-ready records to Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks Payroll, and Paychex.
Common workforce pressure points
What workforce control looks like in practice
See how attendance visibility improves across daily management, leave review, and payroll preparation.
Daily workforce visibility
A clearer operating view so attendance issues are handled before they spread.
Attendance to payroll handoff
Reduce reconciliation work caused by fragmented workforce records.
What breaks down when workforce visibility is missing
As teams grow, attendance blind spots appear quietly, and the costs show up weeks later in payroll errors and management friction.
Late arrivals that go unaddressed
When attendance exceptions are not tracked in real time, supervisors learn about patterns too late to address the behavior.
Leave confusion that creates conflict
Approvals, denials, and leave balances become hard to manage and easy to dispute when records are fragmented across email threads.
Payroll preparation that takes too long
Admin teams spend hours reconciling spreadsheets, chasing supervisor sign-offs, and cleaning up records before payroll can run.
Break tracking that becomes a liability
When break and overtime records are inconsistent, compliance exposure grows alongside team size.
What the Workforce Control System covers
Core attendance management capabilities built for operations teams, HR administrators, and payroll coordinators.
Real-time attendance tracking
Track arrivals, departures, absences, and exceptions live. So supervisors act in time instead of reviewing logs after the fact.
Shift and division visibility
Keep staffing coverage clear as your team structure grows across departments, divisions, and locations.
Leave request and approval workflow
Manage leave requests, approvals, balances, and history, with clear records for HR and management.
Break and overtime records
Track breaks consistently across your workforce, with the documentation your payroll and compliance processes need.
Payroll-ready workforce records
Generate payroll period records from attendance data, reducing the manual work between attendance management and payroll preparation.
Audit-ready attendance reports
Access the attendance history, pattern reports, and workforce records your management, HR, and audit reviews require.
What teams see after the first 90 days
How buyers frame fit before rollout, same story across every Certiva product page.
Operations teams using Certiva Workforce Control typically cut payroll preparation time by 60 percent or more within the first quarter. Exception queues are resolved daily, not the day before payroll.
When supervisors resolve exceptions daily through a structured workflow, the unresolved exception queue at payroll day drops by more than 80 percent on average.
Most teams are fully operational within a few days of setup. Implementation is kept simple because complex rollouts create adoption problems.
Who this system is built for
The Workforce Control System fits teams where daily attendance management creates admin overhead that grows with headcount.
- Operations managers who need to see workforce status without chasing supervisors or checking multiple tools.
- HR and admin teams managing leave requests, break tracking, and payroll coordination for growing teams.
- Business owners and finance leads who need accurate, audit-ready attendance records before payroll runs.
Best fit
Start here if workforce visibility is costing you time every week
If late arrivals go unaddressed, leave tracking creates disputes, or payroll prep regularly involves manual reconciliation, this is the system to evaluate first.
