The Challenges  

Ziffity faced multiple challenges in enforcing timesheet compliance and Loss of Pay (LOP) policies:


  • Manual LOP processing
    Timesheet non-compliance was identified and handled manually, increasing HR effort and the risk of inconsistencies.


  • Inaccurate payroll impact
    Lack of automated validation between timesheets, leave, and WFH resulted in payroll discrepancies.


  • WFH misuse scenarios
    Employees could apply for Work From Home but skip timesheet updates, leading to policy violations without enforcement.


  • No structured reversal mechanism
    Employees had no formal, auditable process to contest or reverse LOP deductions after correcting timesheets.


  • Role-based exceptions not handled
    Certain roles such as Delivery Managers and Tech Leads required exemption during travel or specific scenarios, which was difficult to manage manually.

Implementation

Spikra implemented a structured and policy-driven automation framework within Zoho People.

LOP Automation Logic


  • A scheduled workflow evaluates the previous day’s timesheet automatically.

  • LOP is applied based on logged hours.

  • Automation runs daily at a predefined time, ensuring consistency.

Leave & WFH Validation

  • Existing Sick Leave, Casual Leave, or On-Duty requests are verified before applying LOP.

  • If a WFH request exists without a timesheet, the system automatically:


-Revokes WFH

-Applies LOP as per defined criteria

Role-Based Eligibility & Exclusions


  • Automation applies only to permanent employees in the delivery team.

  • Delivery Managers and Tech Leads can be excluded dynamically when required

LOP Reversal Workflow

  • A dedicated LOP Reversal Tracker was implemented.

  • Employees can submit a reversal request after updating their timesheet.

  • Approval workflow is routed to reporting managers.

  • Upon approval, the system automatically revalidates timesheets and:


-Cancels LOP

-Converts full-day LOP to partial

-Retains LOP if criteria are unmet
