NextHR is the phone half of the HR and payroll system your employer runs. Sign in with your work email and everything you normally have to ask someone for is on your own handset. CLOCK IN AND OUT Punch from where you actually work. If your employer has set up work sites, the app records which one you are at; if you are working from home, say so and it will not check where you are. No signal underground or on site? The punch is kept on your phone and goes in the moment you are back online — it is never lost and never silently dropped. WHAT YOU HAVE WORKED Your daily time record, the same one payroll is built from. Every day shows what you clocked, what came off for breaks, and what was credited — so when a figure looks wrong you can see where it came from instead of guessing. A day that does not reconcile says so, and gives you a way to ask about it. ASK FOR THINGS Leave, overtime, field work, a day at home, a correction to a wrong punch, or a shift when nobody has scheduled you. Each one goes to whoever signs it off, and you can see who is holding it rather than wondering. YOUR PAY Payslips as payroll closes them, with the arithmetic behind the net figure. FOR MANAGERS Approve or decline what is waiting on you, and see who has turned up today, without opening a laptop. NOTICES FROM YOUR COMPANY Announcements reach the phone, pictures and all. Anything marked urgent stops you on the way in rather than waiting to be found. MORE THAN ONE EMPLOYER One login can hold several workspaces. Switch between them without signing out. BUILT FOR THE PHILIPPINES SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR withholding are worked out against the tables in force for the period being paid — not whichever ones are current — so a payslip re-run months later still shows the right figures. You need an account from your employer to use this app. It will not do anything on its own.
