A mobile HR app for employees and managers

Last reviewed · Checked against the app's screens

The short answer

The Verdeshell HRMS app for iOS and Android lets employees check in at geofenced work sites or with their face, apply for leave and comp-off, request regularisation and On Duty, and submit expenses, travel and timesheets. Managers see team attendance and approve requests on the phone. Punches made without a signal sync later.

Push notifications tell employees when a request is approved or something needs their attention, and each person chooses which notifications they receive.

What managers do in the app

  • Approve or reject leave, regularisation, On Duty and travel requests from the phone.
  • See team attendance for the day — who is in, late, on leave or on a comp-off — without opening a laptop.
  • Approvals follow the same workflow as the web, including delegation while an approver is away, so a request approved on the phone is approved everywhere.

Geofenced and face check-in

Check-in from the app is governed by the attendance policy. You map employees to work sites drawn on a map, and can run the fence in audit mode first to see who would be refused before anything is enforced. Face check-in is judged by the same rules, so the face confirms who is punching and the fence confirms where.

What stays on the web, and why

Payslips and salary details stay on the web only. They are not shown in the mobile app by design: a phone is easily lost, shared or looked over, and pay is the most sensitive record an employee has. Employees view and download payslips, Form 16 and tax declarations from self-service on the web.

Administration also stays on the web — payroll runs, policies, settings and reports — so the app remains quick for the tasks people do every day.

Privacy in the app

  • The app links to the privacy policy and terms, and an employee can open a pre-filled email to make an access, correction or deletion request about their data.
  • Face-recognition data is deleted 90 days after an employee leaves, and punch-location details in the attendance register are cleared after 365 days.
  • Sensitive records — bank details, PAN, Aadhaar and pay — are encrypted at rest on Verdeshell's side.

Getting the app

The app is free for every employee of a subscribed company, on iOS and Android, and is part of the Starter plan. Employees sign in with the same account they use on the web.

Frequently asked questions

Can managers approve leave from their phone?

Yes. Managers can approve or reject leave, regularisation, On Duty and travel requests in the app, and see their team's attendance for the day. Approvals follow the same workflow as the web.

Does the app work where the signal is poor?

Check-ins and check-outs do. A punch made without a signal is kept on the phone and sent when it reconnects, timed from the moment of the tap. Other tasks need a connection.

Why are payslips kept on the web only?

It is a deliberate choice: payslips and salary details are kept on the web only, because a phone is easily lost or shared. Employees view and download payslips from self-service on the web.

Can employees submit expense receipts from the app?

Yes. Employees attach a photo of the receipt to an expense claim and can follow the claim through each approval step in the app.
