Adding more to Pocket HRMS product updates, this blog includes the latest updates made to our software for the month of February 2021. The software faced major improvements in making the self-service portal real-time along with new geo-fencing reporting.
Other updates include a new ‘stop payment’ option in the data wizard and mobile app geo fencing validation. Updates, in brief, are as below-
Employee Self-service Portal
Real-time updates:
The attendance dashboards have been enhanced for managers and the HR department. You can now view employees that are absent or present through the dashboard in real-time, based on the corresponding employee shift timings and the real-time attendance capturing.
To check the latest data, simply refresh the page and you can view the required details at Employee Self-service Portal > Dashboard.

Geo-Fencing Report
Distance calculator:
You can now get a detailed GeoFencing report with a distance calculator. On mismatch during employee punch in/out, the employee location is saved. This location will be compared to the saved office address(or addresses) and the calculated distance will be mentioned in the report for your easy reference.
New unique pages to check geo-fencing data for-
Employee: They can only see their own mismatched information. The report can be found under Leave Tracking > My Report > GeoFencing Mismatch Report.
Manager: They can see their own mismatched information as well as their subordinate’s information. The report can be found under Leave Tracking > User Report > GeoFencing Mismatch Report.
HR: They can view employee and manager mismatch information along with their own geo fencing information. The report can be found under Leave Tracking > Employee Report > GeoFencing Mismatch Report.
Data Wizard
New Option – Stop Payment:
You can now filter employees based on Stop Payment marked as Yes or No. If selected Yes, employees with stop payment-enabled will be included in the data wizard report. Alternatively, if selected No, employees with stop payment-enabled will be excluded from the data wizard report.
Settings can be found under Analytics > Data Wizard > Settings (gear symbol on top right) > Stop Payment on Pocket HRMS.
Mobile App
Geo-Fencing validation:
Pocket HRMS will validate locations based on set geofence and in case of any mismatch will save the required details in Geo-Fencing Mismatch Report.
