How the process works.
1
Set up your leave types
WORKSPHR arrives with nine statutory leave types preset. Add custom types, set accrual rules and define your approval workflows. Our team checks your setup against DOLE rules with you.
2
Employees file from the portal
Employees pick their dates and leave type and attach supporting documents, such as a medical certificate for sick leave, using the responsive employee portal in any mobile browser or the downloadable Android app. Approval then routes automatically.
3
Balances and payroll update together
Approved leave draws down the balance. Payroll applies paid and unpaid treatment and handles the year-end cash conversion from the same data, so there is nothing separate to track and less to dispute.
Every entitlement, and the law behind it.
Each preset type carries its default day count, its accrual rule and the statute behind it, so a policy discussion starts from the legal position rather than from memory.
Statutory minimums applied, not just suggested.
WORKSPHR applies the mandated day counts and ties each one to its governing statute. Your policy can exceed the statutory minimum but cannot fall below it, so a setup mistake does not quietly turn into an underpayment across a whole department.
Maternity calculated the way it is funded.
RA 11210 provides 105 days paid, extendable for solo mothers, but the employer only funds part of it. WORKSPHR splits the SSS-funded portion from the employer top-up inside payroll, which is what removes the reconciliation most teams do by hand after the fact.
Learn more about government complianceThe approver on leave is the reason requests stall.
Most delayed requests are not disputed, they are simply sitting with someone who is out of the office. Routing to a backup approver automatically closes the single gap that leaves a filing unanswered for a week, and every decision stays in the audit trail.
A year-end conversion nobody has to prepare for.
Unused Service Incentive Leave converts under Article 95, valued at each employee's current rate and included in the December cycle. Because it draws on the balance history already held, the figure does not need assembling in November from a separate spreadsheet.
