Employee

Your dashboard

What an employee sees in the unified TracefyHR portal — the My Attendance card, My Time Off card, status pill, and notifications, all in one place.

When you log in, you land on the unified TracefyHR portal at /portal. It's the same workspace your HR and Managers use — but the cards you see are tailored to your day.

The dashboard is designed to answer three questions at a glance:

  • Have I checked in today?
  • How much leave do I have left?
  • Anything I need to know about?
The unified portal home for an employee — My Attendance card, My Time Off card, recent activity, and notifications

The status pill (top bar)

In the top bar you'll see a coloured pill showing your current presence — Available, In a meeting, Out, etc. Click it to:

  • Pick a different status
  • Add an optional note ("Customer call until 4pm")
  • Set how long it lasts (auto-clears when it expires)
  • Update your work location (Office / Remote)

Your manager and teammates see this pill on your profile and in the org chart — handy when someone needs to know whether to ping you.

My Attendance card

A self-contained card that always shows where you are in your work day:

  • 🔵 Ready to start your day — primary Start my day CTA opens the check-in form (Work Plan, Top Priorities, Blockers).
  • 🟢 Checked in at 9:14 AM — green status, summary of your check-in notes, and a Check out CTA.
  • ⚫ Day complete · 9:14 AM – 5:30 PM — read-only summary of the full day.

You don't need to open a separate page to check in or out — the card handles both.

See Check in and check out for the full flow.

My Time Off card

Two balance pills (typically Vacation + Sick) with:

  • Days remaining — big number, easy to read at a glance
  • Used this year — small print so you know how it's trending
  • A progress bar so you can see where you are in your annual quota

A single Request Time Off button at the bottom opens the apply dialog. Whichever leave type you click into, the form is pre-selected for you.

The dashboard never flashes "your account isn't linked" while it loads. Cards render a layout-shaped skeleton until the data arrives, so there's no scary banner on a fresh page load.

Notifications bell

The bell at the top shows new alerts:

  • Leave request approved or rejected
  • Custom feature submission decisions
  • Payroll posted
  • HR-issued announcements

Click an item to jump straight to the page that explains it.

What you can't see — and why

Employees see only their own data. You can't see:

  • Other employees' leave balances or salaries
  • Payroll figures for the whole company
  • Settings, expenses, or budget information

If you need any of that, ask your HR or Manager.
