Zoho People helps businesses manage HR tasks such as attendance, leave, and employee data from an Android device.
What is Zoho People?
Zoho People is a mobile extension of Zoho’s cloud‑based human resources platform. It lets HR teams, managers, and employees access core HR functions directly from their Android phones, making routine processes faster and more transparent.
Main features
- Employee self‑service – staff can view and update personal details, request time off, and check payslips without needing to contact HR.
- Attendance tracking – the app records check‑in and check‑out times, supporting remote or field workers.
- Leave management – submit, approve, and monitor leave requests, with automatic accrual calculations.
- Performance and goals – set objectives, capture feedback, and conduct appraisals within the same interface.
- Time tracking – log billable and non‑billable hours for projects, then generate timesheets for review.
- Case and task management – raise HR queries, track their status, and assign tasks to keep processes moving.
- Learning resources – provide access to training materials and online sessions for employee development.
How it works
After installing the app, users sign in with their existing Zoho People credentials. The dashboard presents a concise view of pending items—such as leave requests awaiting approval or upcoming attendance logs—so users can act quickly. Data entered on the device syncs automatically with the cloud, ensuring that the web portal and mobile app always show the same information.
Practical uses
- HR managers can approve leave, monitor attendance trends, and generate reports without switching to a desktop.
- Team leaders can assign tasks, track project hours, and give performance feedback on the go.
- Employees gain a single place to manage their HR needs, reducing email traffic and paperwork.

Who may find it useful?
Small to medium businesses that already use Zoho People, as well as larger enterprises looking for a mobile companion to their HR system, will benefit from the app. It is also helpful for remote teams that need a reliable way to record attendance and manage leave while away from the office.
