Why Tickin existsWork moved into chat.
Work moved into chat.
HR didn't.
Your team runs its whole day in Slack and Microsoft Teams. But attendance is still a spreadsheet, leave hides in DMs, and month-end is a scramble. Most HR software “fixes” this by adding one more app your team won't open.
Why most HR software fails
- It's one more app to open — so employees quietly avoid it.
- Attendance stays in a spreadsheet nobody keeps current.
- Leave requests get lost in DMs and inboxes.
- Hours live apart from payroll, so month-end is a scramble.
Why chat-first HR works
- It lives in Slack, Teams, and the browser — nothing new to adopt.
- People clock in and request leave with a single message.
- Managers approve time and leave with one tap, in context.
- Hours flow straight into reports and payroll — nobody re-types a number.
Don't make people come to HR. Bring HR to them.
Features
Everything you need to run people ops.
One platform for time, attendance, leave, overtime, payroll, and the projects your team is actually working on. Replace the spreadsheets, the email threads, and the three different tools your team has been gluing together.
Time & attendance
Time tracking & attendance
Clock in from Slack, browser, or desktop. Set your office hours, working days, and timezone; sessions, hours, and daily breakdowns are tracked automatically, no manual timesheets.
Break tracking
Toggle a break with /tickin break in Slack. Tickin pauses the work timer, subtracts break time from worked hours, and shows the daily total. So overtime stays honest.
Overtime detection
When an employee clocks out past your configured daily threshold, Tickin sends a Slack or Microsoft Teams DM with two buttons: continue (records as OT) or cap at the threshold. Their choice is logged with the session.
Office hours & late alerts
Set office hours, a grace period, working days, and timezone. Clock in past the grace window and managers get a late-arrival notice in Slack or Teams, once per person per working day, skipping public holidays.
Idle detection
The optional desktop app watches for keyboard and mouse activity. After 15 minutes of inactivity the session is marked idle, so you never overcount.
Payroll & leave
Payroll & salary slips
Pro-rated salary, deductions, and overtime calculated automatically. Monthly PDF salary slips emailed to every employee on the 3rd.
Leave management
Custom leave policies, balances tracked automatically, approvals routed through team lead and then admin. No spreadsheets, no email threads.
Attendance adjustments
Missed a clock-in or got a time wrong? Employees request a correction, team lead reviews, admin signs off. The audit trail follows.
Shift management
Design weekly schedules per team or per employee. Days, hours, and active state, visible to admins and team leads at a glance.
Projects & tasks
Project boards
Organize work into projects and drag tasks across To Do, In Progress, and Done. A clear board your whole team reads at a glance.
Rich tasks
Priorities, due dates, multiple assignees, labels, and checklists that track sub-steps. Attach files, then search and filter to find anything fast.
Project time tracking
Log hours against any task, with two-stage approval, team lead first, then admin. Billable, accountable time tied to the people already in your workspace.
Comments & dashboards
Comment with @mentions to loop teammates in, get notified in-app, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, and see time and progress by project, task, or person.
Team & insights
Team lead approvals
Delegate without losing oversight. Team leads handle adjustments and leave for their own team. Admin keeps final say on overtime and payroll.
Slack-native workflow
The /tickin command (start, end, break, attendance, balance, leave) runs right in Slack, and overtime prompts arrive as DMs. Most of the day's tracking happens without opening the portal.
Reports & scheduled digests
An automated daily Leave & WFH summary posts to Slack, plus weekly and monthly time-entry digests and salary slips by email, all sent in your workspace timezone on working days only. Overtime, attendance, and leave data stay filterable by employee, department, or date range in the admin portal.
Activity log
Every state change recorded, clock events, approvals, salary edits, invites. Browse the timeline by employee or event type when you need to know what happened.
Chat Command Center
Work where your team already works
One /tickin command runs attendance, leave, approvals, and reports right inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. It works the same on both, and adapts to each person's role.

How it works
From signup to payroll in four steps.
No implementation consultants. No 90-day rollouts. Tickin is opinionated on purpose, you get a working HR system from day one.
- 01
Create your workspace
Sign up with your email or Google account. Set your company name, currency, and country preset. No credit card. No setup calls.
- 02
Invite your team
Send invites by email. Assign each person a role: admin, team lead, or employee. Connect Slack so the team can clock in from any channel.
- 03
Track work as it happens
Your team clocks in from Slack, web, or desktop. Tickin captures hours, breaks via /tickin break, and idle time on the desktop client. Overtime is confirmed at clock-out with a Slack DM.
- 04
Approve, report, pay
Review timesheets, approve leave, and generate payroll in minutes. Salary slips delivered to every employee.
Built on trust
Trust over surveillance.
Tickin is designed around trust, not surveillance. Attendance, leave, payroll, and time tracking all work without any screenshot monitoring — there are no forced screenshots and no keystroke logging.
Screenshot and activity monitoring are available as an optional module that is disabled by default. An admin can turn it on for the rare team that needs it — it is never our default identity.
- Attendance
- Hours worked
- Leave & balances
- Approvals
- Payroll & tax presets
- Reports
What Tickin measures — outcomes, not behavior.
