Overtime per week vs. per day
In the United States 90% of the states calculate overtime as working more than 40 hours per week. It appears that Zoho People can only calculate overtime per day. How do we fix this? Here is an example: Mon 8 hours Tues 7 hours Wed 9 hours Thur 8 hours Fri 8 hours ----- Total 40 hours (no overtime) However, Zoho people says 1 hours of overtime because the employee worked 9 hours on Wednesday. Maybe I have something setup wrong in Zoho People?
Checkin several time
Hello What is the right setting if I have conditions like this: Can checkin several times and the admin can set the checkin hour once every hour or at certain hours on each shift and the hours can be modified. For example, the admin arranges to check in at 8am, 10am, 1pm, 3pm every day and the hours can be changed and not employees who are absent manually but for hours determined by the admin / manager. Then every hour that is set appears a notification on every hour that has been set.

Time tracker integration with Quickbooks - has anyone done this?
Hello, I've been using Zoho CRM for several years, and I'm now testing out Zoho People to see if I can use that as a time entry system that can easily sync to Quickbooks. So far I'm not having any luck at all. I have set up time tracking in Zoho People, but I don't see any way to integrate the list of clients and projects with the list of clients and projects I already have set up in Quickbooks. I'm hoping I can sync that list so I don't have to do dual data entry on both systems. Is it possible

Check in/out Heatmap
I have a feedback from one of our prospects, is Zoho People thinking of adding a heatmap for checkin/out location of the users? Competitors have this and I think it would be a great feature too. Plus, right now, there's not even a report in the app to see the overview of the check in/out location of the users; admin has to click at the record individually to see them, which is a hassle. Hope this reaches the right people. Thanks

LMS Issues and Questions
Please see screenshot below. Why does LMS insist 8 out of 13 are completed when they are only 8 to be completed? I do realize the course can still be marked completed using the 3 dots. Also, is LMS in any way integrated with the Training module? It seems to me that someone doing a course in LMS is taking a form of training :-). I would like to have all of an employees training listed in one place, not two separate places. Thanks!
