Terms and policies
The terms of use and privacy policy will be linked here at release.
All terms and policiesWhy this exists
Attendance is a chain, not a screen.
A punch becomes a record, a record becomes a request, a request becomes an approval, and all of it has to survive month-end. KINTAI is designed around that chain rather than around a single timesheet screen.
Screen
What it looks like.
This is a development build. The employee and figures shown are sample data, not real staff records.
What it does
What it does.
Leave
Track entitlements and use.
Requests and approvals
Overtime, days off and leave go through an approval route.
Month-end close
Close the month, run pre-payroll calculations and export them as CSV.
Shifts
Manage rotating shifts and clock in against them, from a tablet or smartphone.
Change history
Changes to attendance data are logged.
Records for everyone
Daily and monthly records that staff and admin can both check.
Payroll hand-off
Producing figures the next step can use is in scope.
When you would use it
Situations, not features.
A team that clocks in
Punches that turn into usable records.
Approvals that stall
See where a request is sitting.
Month-end that drags
Close with the numbers already reconciled.
Payroll staff
Take the closed month into payroll, in a form that can be reproduced later.
How it goes
The basic flow.
You should be able to guess the next step without reading a manual.
- 1Clock in
Record the day; punches, leave and requests build up.
- 2Request and approve
Corrections and leave go through the approval chain.
- 3Close the month
Check, fix, and hand the figures on.
Daily records and closed months are kept apart.
Daily punches, work, leave requests and leave history live in KINTAI; payroll refers to the closed, fixed data. Coverage of labour regulations, overtime-agreement management, IC cards and specific work schemes will be stated at release.
Questions

The problems this app is built around, and what to settle before you bring it in.
- People and workBeyond the 8-Hour Day: Building Work Around Short ShiftsHiring only full-timers rules out parents with limited hours. Which tasks suit short shifts, how to fit work to time slots, and covering sudden absences.
- Working betterBreaking "Only She Can Do It" Into Tasks You Can Hand OverOn short-staffed floors, work drifts to the veteran and stops when they are out. Split their day into judgement and routine, then cut the routine into pieces a new hire or part-timer can take.
- People and workA Sudden Resignation or Leave: Keeping the Work MovingWhen someone resigns or goes on leave without warning, hiring alone may be too slow. How to list the work that cannot stop, decide what to cover, delay or pause, what to check before bringing in outside help, and what to prepare in normal times.
