One source of truth

Your team information shouldn't live in spreadsheets, messages and memory.

Availability arrives in one place. Leave requests somewhere else. Shift changes get sent through messages. Employee details sit in another file. Timento brings the workforce information needed for daily operations into one connected platform.

Scattered

  • Spreadsheet
  • Messages
  • Leave emails
  • Paper notes
  • Separate employee records
  • Verbal availability

Connected

One place for the people behind the operation.

Employees, roles, availability, leave and permissions live in the same platform as the schedule, the worked hours and the daily operation.

  • Employee profiles
  • Roles & permissions
  • Availability & Leave
  • Employee Portal
  • Shift swaps
  • Notifications

Your team

The people behind the schedule.

An employee in Timento is more than a name in a planning grid. The operational profile keeps the details managers actually need while planning, running and reviewing the working day.

  • Name
  • Contact information
  • Role
  • Employee number
  • Hire date
  • Bank information
  • Birthdate
  • Schedule notes
  • Company / location
  • Permissions

Managers have the workforce information they need in the same environment where the work is managed , not in a separate file that nobody updates.

Access & responsibility

The right people. The right access.

Timento separates what someone does in the operation from what they can do in the platform. A shift leader in the kitchen is a job role. A planner who builds and publishes schedules is a permission role.

  • Employee

    Works in the Employee Portal: schedule, hours, availability, leave requests and the operational information for their own shifts.

    • My Schedule
    • Clock In · Breaks · Clock Out
    • Availability & Leave
    • Worked Hours
  • Planner

    Builds and publishes the schedule using availability, leave and roles, and follows up on what changes afterwards.

Job role vs. permission role

Job roles describe the work , reception, kitchen, housekeeping, supervisor , and are used while planning. Permission roles describe what someone can see and do inside Timento. Keeping the two separate means you can staff flexibly without handing out management access.

Plan with real information

Know when your team can actually work.

Availability & Leave connects employee input with workforce planning, so managers don't need to reconstruct staffing information every time they build the schedule.

  • Employee availability

    Employees indicate when they can work, in the same place they check their schedule.

  • Leave requests

    Requests are submitted in Timento instead of arriving through messages, notes or conversations.

  • Leave balances

    Where balances are used, they stay visible alongside the request rather than in a separate file.

  • Approval

    A manager reviews and decides. Nothing becomes final because it was mentioned in passing.

  • Approved leave

    Once approved, the absence is part of the planning picture instead of a surprise on the day.

  • Calendar visibility

    Planners see who is available, who is off and where the gaps are before publishing.

  3. 03Smart Scheduling

Availability and approved leave are planning information, not paperwork. They exist so the schedule reflects the team you actually have.

Leave workflow

From request to schedule.

One route for every leave request, from the moment an employee submits it to the moment the planner sees the result.

  1. 01

    Request

    The employee submits a leave request in the Employee Portal, with the dates and any context.

  2. 02

    Review

    A manager sees the request together with the rest of the team picture instead of judging it in isolation.

  3. 03

    Approve

    The manager approves or declines, and the employee gets a clear answer.

  4. 04

    Visible in planning

    Approved leave shows up while the schedule is being built, so nobody is planned into time off.

  • The employee gets clarity

    A submitted request has a status and an answer, not an unread message.

  • The manager keeps control

    Nothing is approved by accident, and decisions are made with the team in view.

  • The planner sees the result

    Approved leave is planning information the moment the schedule is built.

Timento supports the request, review, approval and planning visibility of leave. It does not calculate statutory entitlements or process payroll.

Employee self-service

Everything employees need. Without the admin maze.

Give employees one simple mobile-friendly place for the information and actions they use during the working week.

No desktop login, no separate HR portal, no chasing a manager for an answer that already exists in the platform.

  • My Schedule

    Upcoming shifts, times and location , always the published version.

  • Calendar Export

    Your schedule, where you need it: export shifts as an iCalendar (.ics) file or subscription link and add them to a compatible calendar application. Timento stays the source of truth.

  • Clock In · Breaks · Clock Out

    Start the shift, register breaks and clock out from the same place.

  • Availability & Leave

    Share availability and submit leave requests without sending a message.

  • Worked Hours

    See registered hours instead of counting them back from memory.

  • Shift swaps

    Request a swap with a colleague and follow what happens with it.

  • Operational Checklists

    The routines that belong to the shift, on the device already in hand.

  • Knowledge Hub

    Procedures and guides where the work happens, not in a binder.

  • Notifications

    Updates about schedules, requests and approvals that actually matter.

  • Colleagues

    See who is on the team and who is working alongside them.

  • Birthdays

    Small thing, real culture , the team knows when to say something.

Flexibility with control

Plans change. The schedule shouldn't become chaos.

People get sick, exams move, life happens. Timento gives employees a structured way to solve it without letting the published schedule drift away from the manager.

  1. 01

    Employee requests swap

    The employee asks to hand over a shift instead of arranging it privately.

  2. 02

    Colleague responds

    A colleague accepts or declines, so the replacement is a real agreement.

  3. 03

    Manager oversight

    The change stays visible to the manager rather than happening behind the schedule.

  4. 04

    Schedule stays controlled

    The result is one schedule everybody works from , including the people who never saw the conversation.

Employees get flexibility, managers retain visibility. Timento is built so shift changes remain part of the schedule, not a side conversation.

Keep everyone updated

The right update. The right person.

Notifications are updates triggered by workforce events. Messages are communication between people and teams. Timento keeps the two apart, so an update never disappears inside a conversation.

  • Schedule published
  • Schedule changed
  • Open shift available
  • Leave request submitted
  • Leave request approved or declined
  • Shift swap request and response
  • Time approval
  • Checklist and review follow-up

Every notification is tied to something that happened in the operation, so the update has a subject, an owner and a next step.

Messages

Communication between people and teams.

Messages carry announcements, team updates and questions. Where it is enabled, employees can reply, confirm they have read something, and start a team message themselves.

  • Announcements
  • Replies
  • Acknowledgement
  • Employee-created messages

Action Needed

Turn a message into something someone takes responsibility for.

Some messages need more than a read receipt. An Action Needed message can be picked up by someone on the team, so the team and the manager can see that it has an owner.

  1. 01Message
  2. 02Action Needed
  3. 03Reply / Acknowledge
  4. 04I'll take it

Lightweight operational accountability , not project management.

In-app + Push

Updates that reach the working team.

Schedules, requests and operational updates shouldn't depend on someone checking their inbox. Supported notifications are delivered in-app and as push notifications on the mobile employee experience.

  • In-app
  • Push

Employees can manage how they receive supported notification types, so relevant updates arrive without unnecessary noise.

The employee experience runs in the browser on mobile , no traditional app-store download required.

Employee Pulse & Skills

Who is doing the work , and who is ready for it.

Two additions to the same connected employee profile: a quick signal from the team, and a clear picture of what people are qualified to do.

Employee Pulse

A quick signal from the people doing the work.

Employees can quickly indicate how things are going with a simple sentiment input, optionally followed by one open question. No forms, no scheduled campaigns, no scoring.

Skills & Certifications

Know who is ready for the work.

Availability tells you who can work. Skills & Certifications helps tell you who is qualified for the work , with verification status, valid-from dates, expiry and supporting documents on the same employee profile.

Role-based access

Everyone sees what they need.

Employees, planners and managers work in the same platform without needing access to the same information or controls.

  • Role-based access

    What someone can see and do follows their permission role, not an informal agreement.

  • Company separation

    Companies are kept apart, so information stays where it belongs.

  • Location access

    Where multiple locations are used, access can follow the locations someone is responsible for.

  • Manager permissions

    Managers get the planning, approval and follow-up controls their responsibility requires.

  • Employee self-service

    Employees manage their own schedule, hours, availability and requests , and nothing else.

  • Admin controls

    Company Admins manage employees, roles, permissions and the setup behind daily operations.

Access is described here as role-based access control inside Timento. Specific security certifications are covered separately on the security page.

For managers

Less chasing. More visibility.

The manager should not have to move between five disconnected systems to understand the team.

Because people, planning, time and daily operations share one platform, the answer to “where do we stand?” is a screen instead of a round of phone calls.

People + Scheduling

Better planning starts with better workforce information.

A schedule is only as good as what the planner knows about the team. People Management supplies that information before the first shift is placed.

    Small business

    One team, one location, one manager who does most of it personally.

    Growing teams

    More people, more shifts, and the first need for structure around availability and approvals.

  3. 03

    Multi-location

    Several locations, local managers and access that follows responsibility.

  4. 04

    More complex organisations

    Multiple companies, layered permissions and managers who need overview rather than detail.

One connected platform

People are connected to everything else.

People Management is not an isolated employee database. It powers the rest of the working day.

Why it matters

People data that actually helps run the day.

Availability affects scheduling. Roles affect responsibilities. Worked hours affect approvals. Leave affects staffing. Timento keeps those relationships connected.

Information about people

  • Employee records stored somewhere
  • Leave tracked in a separate list
  • Availability collected and retyped
  • Roles known but not applied

Information that runs the day

  • Availability & Leave feeding Smart Scheduling
  • Roles driving Operational Checklists
  • Worked Hours reaching Review & Approve
  • Approved leave visible while planning
  • Permissions matching responsibility
  • Notifications tied to real events

Timento People Management covers the people needed to run the workforce and the working day. It is not a recruitment, performance review or benefits system.

Questions & answers

People Management questions, answered

Short, factual answers about employee information, availability, leave, shift swaps, self-service and permissions in Timento.

What employee information can I manage in Timento?

Timento keeps the workforce information needed to run the operation: name, contact details, role, employee number, hire date, birthdate, bank information, schedule notes, company or location and permissions. It is an operational employee profile rather than a full HR administration system. The point is that managers have the details they need in the same place where planning, hours and daily operations happen.

Can employees enter their own availability?

Yes. Employees share when they can work through the Employee Portal, in the same place they check their schedule. That availability becomes planning information, so planners build the schedule from what the team has actually indicated instead of collecting it again by message.

How do employees request leave?

Employees submit a leave request in the Employee Portal with the dates and any context. The request gets a status, so the employee can see where it stands instead of waiting for a reply in a chat. Nothing depends on a note, a message or a conversation being remembered.

Can managers approve leave requests?

Yes. A manager reviews the request together with the rest of the team picture and approves or declines it. The employee gets a clear answer, and the decision stays visible in the platform. Timento supports the request, review and approval workflow; it does not calculate statutory entitlements or run payroll.

Does approved leave appear in scheduling?

Yes. Approved leave is visible while the schedule is being built, so nobody is planned into time off by accident. Together with availability it gives the planner a realistic view of who can actually work before the schedule is published.

Can employees swap shifts?

Yes. An employee can request a swap, a colleague responds, and the change stays visible to the manager instead of being arranged privately. Employees get flexibility while managers keep oversight, so the published schedule remains the single version everybody works from.

What can employees access through the Employee Portal?

The Employee Portal gives employees My Schedule, Clock In · Breaks · Clock Out, Availability & Leave, Worked Hours, shift swaps, Operational Checklists, Knowledge Hub, notifications, colleagues and birthdays. It is mobile-friendly, so frontline employees can handle the working week from the device they already carry.

Can different users have different permissions?

Yes. Timento uses role-based access, so employees, planners and Company Admins work in the same platform without the same visibility or controls. Job roles describe the work being planned; permission roles describe what someone can see and do inside Timento. Keeping them separate means you can staff flexibly without handing out management access.

Can Timento manage employees across multiple locations?

Yes. Employees, roles and permissions can be organised per company and location, and access can follow the locations someone is responsible for. That lets a business grow from one team to several locations without changing platform or retraining employees.
