Can Worksy handle multiple entities or subsidiaries under one group?

Yes. Worksy supports multi-entity setups (parent company + subsidiaries) under one group structure, so you can: Keep separate company settings (policies, payroll rules, leave types, public holidays) Run consolidated reporting at group level (headcount, attendance trends, cost summaries) Control who sees what across entities (HQ can view all, subsidiaries only their own) If you’re running shared services (HR/Payroll at HQ), this is basically the whole point.

What kind of approval workflows can we configure?

Worksy supports configurable approval flows for common HR actions (leave, claims, overtime, attendance edits, etc.). Typical options include: Single-step (Employee → Manager) Multi-step (Employee → Manager → HR → Finance) Conditional routing (e.g., amounts over RM X go to Finance; special leave goes to HR) Delegation / backup approvers (when approver is on leave) Role-based approvals (not tied to one named person, so workflows don’t break when staff resign) If your approvals currently live in WhatsApp and prayer, this will feel like civilisation.

How does Worksy ensure compliance with Malaysian regulations?

Worksy is designed with Malaysian HR realities in mind, including: Policy-based enforcement (leave, overtime, attendance rules, probation, entitlement rules as configured by your company) Audit trails for approvals and changes (who changed what, when, and why) Data controls (access restriction + retention/export support for HR documentation) Important (and honest): software can support compliance, but it can’t magically make bad HR policy legal. You still set your rules; Worksy helps you enforce them consistently and prove it happened.

Can we restrict access by department, region, or role?

Yes. Worksy supports granular access controls so you can segment by: Department (e.g., Sales HRBP only sees Sales) Region / branch / location (useful for multi-state ops) Role (Employee, Manager, HR, Payroll, Finance, Admin) Entity/subsidiary (if you’re running a group structure) Result: managers don’t “accidentally” browse payroll data like it’s Instagram.

We already have some systems in place. Can Worksy integrate?

Usually yes — depending on what you have and how modern it is.Common integration paths: Data import/export via CSV/Excel for initial sync and ongoing updates API-based integration (if your existing system supports APIs) Typical targets: accounting/payroll providers, biometric/attendance devices, ERP, or custom internal systems If the current system is “a legacy database + someone’s cousin’s Access file,” we can still work with it — just expect more elbow grease.

Do you offer migration service?

Yes. Migration can include: Importing employee profiles, org structure, job history Carrying over leave balances, entitlements, and policy setup Bringing in historical attendance/leave records (where feasible) Validation checks to avoid garbage-in-garbage-out Most migrations fail because the old data is messy, not because the new system is. We’ll tell you upfront what’s clean, what’s risky, and what needs manual decisions.

Worksy for Multi Location

Every branch on one system. Every record in one place.

When your team is spread across five outlets or fifty sites, HR data has a way of fragmenting. Leave policies differ by branch but no one's tracking which version is current. Attendance records live with each branch manager instead of in one place. HQ only sees the full picture when someone compiles it manually. Worksy keeps every location on one platform, with the controls to let each site run its own way and the visibility to let HQ see across all of them.

The more locations you add, the less HR can see.

One office is manageable. Two is workable. But once you’re running HR across multiple branches, the cracks start showing in the same places every time. Attendance data sits with each site manager in a different format. Leave policies vary by location but there’s no system enforcing the difference. Payroll for branch staff depends on information that arrives late, incomplete, or in a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.

The branches aren't the problem. The gap between them is.

HQ ends up chasing branch managers for data that should already be visible. Regional HR makes decisions without seeing what other branches are doing. And when leadership asks for a group-wide number on headcount, turnover, or absenteeism, someone spends a day pulling it together from five different sources.

One platform across every site, with the flexibility to let each one operate on its own terms.

Branch-Level Attendance with Geofence Controls

Each location has its own clock-in point with geofence settings, so attendance records are accurate to the site. Staff clock in from their phone, and the system confirms they're where they're supposed to be.

Location-Specific Policies

Leave entitlements, claims rules, and payroll terms can differ by branch or region. The system enforces each location's policies without HR having to manage them separately.

Role-Based Access by Region

Branch managers see their site. Regional HR sees their cluster. HQ sees everything. Access follows the structure, so each level works from the data it needs without seeing what it shouldn't.

Real-Time Visibility for HQ

Attendance, leave, payroll, and headcount data from every location feeds into one view. HQ stops chasing branches for updates and starts seeing the picture as it stands.

Multi-Level Approvals Across Sites

Approval workflows route through the right people at each location. A leave request at a branch doesn't need to wait for someone at HQ to notice it, but HQ can see every approval that's moved through the system.

Centralised Reporting with Branch-Level Detail

Pull reports across the whole group or drill into a single site. The data is the same source, whether leadership is looking at the big picture or a branch manager is looking at their team.

Speak to HR Specialist

HQ sees the full picture. Branches run without waiting for HQ.

Branch managers handle their own attendance, approvals, and team data without depending on head office for every decision. Regional HR manages their cluster with the right level of access. And leadership gets group-wide reporting without anyone assembling it manually.

The operational rhythm of each branch stays intact. The difference is that HQ no longer has to ask for the information. It's already there.

Worksy is a cloud HRMS that can be customised to suit your Multi Location needs and keep existing workflows.
