Workforce Management Software for Better Day-to-Day Control
Real-time workforce information wherever your managers are working
Ceequel® Hub Overview
Ceequel® Hub gives authorised managers secure, browser-based access to the workforce information and everyday
management tools they need.
Managers can see who is present, identify lateness, review absences, authorise holidays and overtime, manage employee clockings and
monitor working-time balances—all from one clear and configurable system.
Available wherever there is a secure internet connection, Ceequel® Hub brings essential workforce information closer
to the people responsible for acting upon it.
What is workforce management software?
Workforce management software gives managers the information and tools needed to organise employees, monitor attendance and complete everyday workforce administration.
Ceequel® Hub provides a secure connection to the information held within Ceequel® Time and Attendance. It allows authorised users to manage their employees without requiring access to the main administration system.
Through a clear, browser-based interface, managers can:
- See who is currently on-site
- Identify late or absent employees
- Review outstanding exceptions
- Authorise holiday and absence requests
- Approve overtime
- View employee working-time balances
- Plan shifts and rosters
- Correct or add clocking information
- Access workforce reports
- Allocate time to projects and activities
Permissions can be configured around your organisational structure, ensuring each user only sees the employees, departments, locations and functions relevant to their role.
Ceequel® Hub can support a single department, an entire site or a centrally managed, multi-site organisation.

Real-Time Workforce Information
Understand what is happening across your workforce
Ceequel® Hub provides managers with an immediate view of employee attendance without waiting for reports to be prepared centrally.
Authorised users can quickly identify:
- Who is currently working
- Who has not arrived as expected
- Which employees are late
- Who is absent
- Which clockings require attention
- Where overtime is accumulating
- Which holiday requests remain outstanding
- Whether departments have sufficient coverage
Information can be filtered by site, company, department, team, manager or another relevant part of your organisational structure.
This gives managers the information needed to make informed decisions while reducing routine enquiries to HR, payroll and system administrators.
Holiday and Absence Approvals
Give line managers control without losing central oversight
Ceequel® Hub allows holiday and absence requests to be directed to the appropriate manager for review.
Managers can see the requested dates alongside departmental availability, existing absences and other relevant workforce information before making a decision.
Depending on your configured processes, authorised users can:
- Approve or reject holiday requests
- Review outstanding requests
- Record reasons for absence
- Authorise paid or unpaid absence
- View employee entitlements
- Check team availability
- Monitor recurring absence patterns
- Access relevant supporting information
When used with Ceequel® Employee Self-Service, employees can submit requests electronically, while managers review and respond through Ceequel® Hub.
This creates a faster, more consistent approval process and removes unnecessary paper forms, emails and spreadsheets.
Attendance Exception Management
Focus management attention where it is needed
Instead of manually checking every employee record, managers can concentrate on attendance information that falls outside the expected working pattern.
Ceequel® Hub can highlight exceptions such as:
- Missing clockings
- Late arrival
- Early departure
- No attendance recorded
- Incorrect or incomplete clocking sequences
- Unplanned attendance
- Unauthorised overtime
- Hours above or below the expected total
- Absence without an assigned reason
- Unexpected shift activity
Authorised managers can investigate the information, add comments and make permitted corrections directly within the system.
This distributes day-to-day attendance management to the people who understand what has happened, helping payroll receive more complete and accurate information.
Overtime and Working-Time Balances
Make workforce costs and employee balances easier to manage
Ceequel® Hub gives managers visibility of overtime and other accumulated working-time balances.
Depending on the configuration of Ceequel® Time and Attendance, managers can review:
- Overtime worked
- Overtime awaiting approval
- Different overtime rates
- Flexitime balances
- Time off in lieu
- Annualised hours
- Contracted versus actual hours
- Departmental overtime trends
- Employee working-time positions
Authorisation workflows can ensure overtime is reviewed by the appropriate person before it is included within payroll information.
This gives managers greater control over labour costs while providing employees with a clearer and more consistent approval process.
Rostering and Skills Availability
Plan the people and capabilities each department requires
Ceequel® Hub helps managers organise shifts and employee coverage using accurate workforce information.
Managers can review planned shifts alongside holiday, absence and attendance information, helping them identify potential gaps before they affect operations.
The system can support:
- Departmental roster planning
- Fixed and rotating shifts
- Temporary shift changes
- Planned staffing levels
- Holiday and absence visibility
- Employee availability
- Essential skills coverage
- Multi-site workforce planning
Where relevant skills and employee information are maintained within Ceequel®, managers can check that the appropriate capabilities are available for a particular shift, department or activity.
Secure Role-Based Access
Give every manager access to the right information
Ceequel® Hub uses configurable permissions to control what each user can see and do.
Access can be structured around:
- Company
- Site
- Department
- Cost centre
- Team
- Reporting hierarchy
- Employee group
- Individual management responsibilities
A departmental manager may only need access to their immediate team, while a regional or senior manager may require a wider view across several sites.
Permissions can also determine whether users are allowed to view information, approve requests, amend clockings, authorise overtime or run particular reports. This enables workforce administration to be distributed safely without giving every manager unrestricted access to sensitive employee information.
A Clear and Secure Audit Trail
Maintain control over workforce information
Changes made through Ceequel® Hub can be recorded against the authorised user responsible for making them.
Where an employee clocking or attendance record is adjusted, the system can retain details including:
- The original transaction
- The amended information
- The user making the change
- The date and time of the adjustment
- Any reason or supporting comment provided
This creates a clear history for payroll queries, management reviews and internal auditing.
It also helps organisations maintain control when workforce management responsibilities are shared across multiple departments, managers or locations.
Browser-Based Workforce Management
Secure access without installing software on every manager's computer
Ceequel® Hub is accessed through a compatible web browser, making workforce information available to authorised managers without requiring the full Ceequel® administration application on every device.
This is particularly useful for organisations with:
- Multiple locations
- Remote managers
- Departmental supervisors
- Regional management structures
- Shared administration responsibilities
- Central HR and payroll teams
Access remains subject to your organisation's infrastructure, security arrangements and configured user permissions.
Ceequel® Hub is not simply a standalone employee database. It provides controlled access to live information held within the wider Ceequel® workforce management environment.
One Part of the Integrated
Ceequel® Software Suite

Every organisation structures management responsibilities differently. Ceequel® Hub can be configured around your departments, reporting hierarchy, permissions, terminology and approval processes.
