About Terraform Timesheet Application
Automation of the company’s HR Process to evaluate and verify working hours of employees on different entities for the specific time intervals, like monthly or any date range between start date and end date. HR team uploads working hours details for all the employees for that period and sends a notification to fill out the working hours entry.
