What is session-based attendance?

Session-based attendance links every work session to a specific project and client at the moment it starts — not just recording clock-in/out times. Each session is approved by a manager before billing, creating a clean audit trail.

How is Workclave different from Keka?

Keka is a payroll-first HR suite starting at ₹9,999/month before adding any users. Workclave is session-based workforce intelligence starting free, with every session linked to a client project and manager-approved before billing.

Yes. Workclave is free for up to 5 users with no credit card required. Pro plan is ₹199 per user per month with no base fee and no minimums.

Is Workclave compliant with India Labour Code?

Yes. Workclave is built for India Labour Code compliance and DPDP compliance, providing the attendance audit trails and session records required by Indian regulations.

THE PROBLEM

Traditional attendance tools track time. Not work.

Every tool on the market asks “when did you arrive?” Workclave asks “what did you build, for which client, approved by whom?”

The old way — clock-in / clock-out

Attendance without context

Knowing someone arrived at 9am tells you nothing about which client was billed, what was built, or whether the work was approved.

15–30% of billable hours vanish

Undocumented sessions, context-switching between clients, and Friday reconstructions from memory — creating billing gaps every month.

Two tools, zero shared data

HR tool for compliance. Toggl for billing. Neither talks to the other. Your team logs everything twice and reconciles it manually.

The Workclave way — session-based

✓

Every session linked to a project

Work starts when a session starts — project and client are selected upfront. Every minute is attributed before it's logged.

✓

Manager approval before billing

Sessions are reviewed and approved before they close. No disputed invoices. No reconstructed timesheets. A clean audit trail per session.

✓

Attendance and billing in one tool

India Labour Code compliance, approval workflows, AI summaries, and client billing reports — all from a single source of truth.
