AttendanceBot - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

AttendanceBot is a vacation management, time tracking and employee scheduling solution for Slack which provides a central location from which to manage and approve staff leave requests, track attendance, billable hours and payroll, plus manage shift schedules, time off, availability, and more. As an online solution, AttendanceBot gives users the flexibility to track time on projects and apply for leave or remote work anytime, anywhere, via any internet-enabled device. Users can also set-up approvals, leave quotas and holidays according to company policy.

Time tracking technology allows users to clock in and out of work, as well as create timesheets directly within Slack. Users can also track billable hours for clients and projects, plus set-up and customize shifts and schedules for employees. Automated notifications serve to remind employees when to clock in and out based on their shifts. Managers then receive notifications in real-time when an employee punches in or out for their shift. AttendanceBot allows users to generate and download Excel reports, or schedule reports to be sent periodically to their inbox to stay up-to-date.

AttendanceBot supports absence and attendance management tools which enable employees to apply for leave and obtain approvals within Slack. Employees simply send a message such as ‘sick today’ in order to request leave. Managers receive requests instantly for approval. Managers can also customize the approval workflow, so that specified leave requests can be auto-approved or require multi-level approvals. AttendanceBot allows users to create their own leave types, as well as implement their own leave policies by defining their rules for leave accrual. Shift planning tools help users plan and manage weekly, fortnightly or monthly shifts for employees from a single dashboard. Managers can track lateness or no shows, and control shift reassignments on the fly.
