The Right Tools and Features to Make Remote Working Possible
If you’ve made the switch to remote working, check out the amazing features in HRLocker that will help you manage your remote workforce.
Here's what HRLocker can do:

3. Change work status to ‘work from home’, and log sick leave.
4. Upload HR documents, such as remote working policies, for workers to sign digitally.
5. Change noticeboard alerts to show company information in the dashboard
6. Manage your company assets by tracking them in our compensation and benefits section.
Timesheets
Timesheets are a great tool for remote working, letting your employees log their daily or weekly working hours online with no hassle. Set working times at the office level, for the entire company, specific departments, or individually tailor employees' working hours.
Self-completed timesheets
Allow your employees to fill out timesheets manually, or enable clock-in and clock-out for your team. Either way, hours worked are readily available for managers to review and approve.
Geolocation/GPS
Allows employees to clock in and out from remote locations. This is often the most popular choice for remote workers. Geolocation will log your employee location, making it a handy tool if you have workers off-site, visiting clients, or working remotely from different offices.
IP address
This is most often used by employees who have a standing arrangement with their company to work specifically at a home office for predefined days rather than shared spaces or on the road.
Manage Your Projects
Don’t send long emails with lists of jobs, use our projects feature instead! When working remotely, it is easy to get bogged down without a manager or teammate to bounce ideas off. Projects allow each manager to set tasks and projects for individuals or departments. Employees can set times against each project, which helps managers see at a glance how much of their employees’ day is taken up by specific tasks.
Projects also allow you to set up hourly rates per employee to set against projects, giving you a great insight into the value of each project. Your finance department will love you! Projects help you hit targets, reach project goals and make the manager’s job much easier.
Time Off Management
Changing an employee’s work status is easy in HRLocker. If employees have requested to work remotely or if their circumstances have changed and they need to work a few days from home, you can easily change the status in the time off settings. HRLocker allows you to create as many leave types as you like, such as ‘remote working’ or ‘working from home', giving you the flexibility to assess at a glance who’s in, who’s off and who's on sick leave.
Logging Sick Leave
The sick leave section allows you to upload sick note certificates. If your employees are remote workers, you may not see them in person, so this is a great way to manage sick notes and sick leave without them having to trek into the office.
HR Documents and Digital Signatures
It’s essential to have policies and procedures in place when implementing remote working, so your employees know what is expected of them when working from home.
At HRLocker, we love to give you free stuff! We’ve created a remote working policy template for you to rebrand and save as your own. You can download it here.
Feel free to amend it with your company identity. When you're happy that it reflects your company values, simply use 'HR Docs' in the main HRLocker menu, select the individuals or departments that you want to assign it to, and your employee will receive an email asking them to read and digitally sign the document.
Directory and Dashboard
When making the move to remote working, all employees must complete their personal information section in the directory. When managing remote teams, it's so handy to have all the employee data in one system. The dashboard is the first screen your employees come to when logging in to HRLocker. The noticeboard section is a central place to display company information and can be edited by the admin from the dashboard area. Simply click on 'Add/edit noticeboard' and you can change this message as often as you wish!
Compensation and Benefits
Never mislay an item of equipment again! When adopting remote working, you may need to equip your workers with several office items, such as laptops, mobile phones, and other equipment, which enable them to work remotely. HRLocker allows you to keep track of these within the system. Tracking the item, including the date it was given out, the cost to the company, and the serial numbers.
HRLocker is packed full of features; these are just some of the highlights to get you set up for remote working.
