    • Attendance can be recorded based on location, device authentication, or QR verification (if applicable).
    • Real-time tracking of attendance logs for better workforce monitoring.

    3. Leave Request & Management

    • Employees can request different types of leaves (paid leave, sick leave, unpaid leave, etc.) directly through the system.
    • Managers or HR can approve, reject, or modify leave requests as needed.
    • Leave balances and usage history can be tracked efficiently.

    4. Overtime Management
