Calamari’s Time & Attendance solution integrates with Microsoft 365, allowing employees to log work hours, track attendance, and manage timesheets without switching between multiple tools. Simplify time tracking, reduce administrative workload, and ensures accurate attendance records.
Log your work hours without switching between applications.
No need to open external apps—employees can start and end their workday with a single click inside Microsoft Teams. All recorded time is stored in one system, making it easier to track attendance without disrupting daily routines.
A clear overview of who is off work helps managers plan schedules and ensure business continuity. This feature helps avoid scheduling conflicts and ensures proper staffing.
Employees can log breaks throughout the day, ensuring compliance with labor laws and internal policies. This also gives managers a better overview of work patterns and helps prevent excessive workloads.
A detailed breakdown of work hours, including start times, breaks, and end times, is provided at the end of each day. This transparency allows employees to verify their records and correct any discrepancies before they impact payroll.
“Through Microsoft Teams, our teams now experience increased productivity, clarity for managers since they can see the time off calendar for their entire team, more control for managers in terms of tracking leave allowance, easier timesheet submission.”
Keeping track of work hours shouldn’t require switching between multiple tools. With Calamari timesheet card integrated into Microsoft 365, employees can easily monitor their logged hours in real time and compare them against planned schedules.
The timesheet displays total hours worked each day and compares them against scheduled time. Employees can see how much time remains or how much they have exceeded their planned hours. Weekly and monthly views help track long-term work patterns and detect trends in overtime.
A built-in calculation shows whether an employee is within their scheduled hours or has exceeded them. If overtime occurs, it’s automatically recorded, giving both employees and managers a clear picture of extra time worked. This helps maintain a balanced workload and ensures compliance with internal policies.
Employees can review their timesheets from the previous month to check logged hours and compare them with current work patterns. This allows them to stay informed about their work history without leaving Microsoft 365.
Calamari’s automated notifications keep employees and managers updated on work hours and attendance. Delivered in Microsoft Teams, they eliminate manual reminders and improve time tracking accuracy. Notifications cover time tracking, absences, and important HR milestones, depending on the modules a company has enabled.
Employees get reminders to clock in and out, ensuring accurate records. Missed clock-ins trigger alerts, while managers receive notifications about pending timesheet approvals. These updates appear in the in Teams integration and can also be sent via email.
Teams receive real-time updates on clock-ins, clock-outs, and breaks, giving managers instant visibility into attendance. Notifications about upcoming public holidays and remote work help teams plan ahead. Alerts can be sent to Teams channels or group email addresses.
Calamari offers three flexible modules that can be enabled independently, allowing companies to customize their HR management system based on their needs. Whether you need time tracking, leave management, or a centralized employee database, Calamari seamlessly integrates with Microsoft 365 to enhance daily operations.
When the Time Off module is enabled, an additional Availability tab appears in the integration, giving employees instant access to their leave balance, submitted and approved time-off requests, and team availability. This allows users to check their remaining vacation days, view upcoming absences, and plan their schedules without leaving Microsoft Teams.
The Core HR module serves as an electronic employee file, storing essential information in one place. It enhances communication in Teams integration by sending automated notifications about employee birthdays and work anniversaries, helping teams stay connected and engaged.
Companies can activate only the modules they need, ensuring a tailored approach to HR management. Whether you require basic time tracking, full leave management, or a complete HR system, Calamari adapts to your organization’s structure—all while keeping everything accessible within Microsoft Teams.
