Questions we actually get

With the real answer, not a link to a ticket form.

  • An employee says their leave cost more days than they expected

    That is the counting rule on the leave type. Depending on the setting, non-working days inside a request can be excluded, counted in full, or counted only when leave falls on both sides of them.

  • Someone forgot to punch out and the day looks wrong

    Your attendance policy decides what a missing punch means, and employees can raise a correction request from their portal that recalculates the day once approved.

  • Our biometric device is on the office LAN and will not sync

    A cloud service cannot reach a device on a private network. Use webhook mode with the LAN bridge, or file import — neither requires opening your network.

  • Payroll shows exceptions and I do not know what to do with them

    An exception is an employee whose payslip the engine could not compute confidently — usually a missing salary structure or a formula referencing something unavailable. The rest of the run completes regardless.

  • A night shift is producing two attendance records

    It should produce one, dated to the night the shift started. Check that the shift's end time is earlier than its start time so the platform treats it as crossing midnight.

Reporting something urgent

Security issues

Write to security@chefotech.com. We will not pursue legal action against researchers who follow an agreed scope and give us a reasonable chance to fix what they find.

Privacy requests

Write to privacy@chefotech.com. If your employer holds the data, they control it and are the right place to ask — we will tell you so and let them know you asked.

The trial is a full account, not a sandbox. Configure your real leave rules and see what the engine does with them.
