# Overview

Since attendance and leave management is one of the most time consuming activities for every HR Manager or Time Officer, we have tried to simplify the same by creating rules and automations around it. Runtime HRMS allows you to setup customized rules for half-day, absents, sandwich rules, time penalty and more.

The best part about Runtime HRMS is that attendance is updated in real-time as soon as employees submit a punch. Based on defined rules, employees and their managers can see attendance using mobile or web apps, and HR Managers can see team's attendance on HR portal.

Various aspects of Attendance & Leave Management in Runtime HRMS are covered under below sections:
