RevasOS for HR Managers & Admins
This guide walks you through everything you need to do as an HR Manager or Admin to go from zero to a fully working HR system in RevasOS. It covers the full setup — adding people, configuring schedules and permissions, activating the team, and running your first reports.
Use it as a checklist during setup or share it with your team at kickoff.
What you will set up
Step 1 — Collect your data
Before configuring anything, gather all the information you will need. Having this ready upfront saves time and avoids repeated corrections.
What you need:
- A list of all collaborators (name, email, role, and team).
- The workplaces where people clock in (name, address).
- The absence types your organization uses (vacation, sick leave, personal days, etc.).
- The work schedule templates you will apply (full-time, part-time, shift-based).
- If you have many employees, prepare an Excel or CSV file for bulk import.
Add collaborators
Add the people who will be part of your organization.

Step 2 — Set up the HR system
This is the main configuration step. You will build the organizational structure, set up permissions, and configure everything the team needs to start tracking time.
2.1 — Create teams and add collaborators
Organize collaborators into teams. This makes it easier to assign permissions and filter data later.
2.2 — Assign roles and permissions
Decide who can do what. Assign roles so that managers can see their team's data and regular users only see their own.
Best practice
Assign permissions at the team level whenever possible. Individual exceptions are harder to maintain and easier to forget.
2.3 — Link collaborators to work schedules
For time tracking, reporting, and absence management to work, each collaborator needs a work hours contract that reflects their actual schedule.
2.4 — Configure workplaces and absence types
Define where people work (for attendance tracking) and what types of absences exist in your organization.

- Admin setup for Timecards
2.5 — Configure Timesheets
Tailor Timesheets to your company rules: who can edit past entries, what the default views look like, and how reporting is configured.
Step 3 — Get the team up and running
The system is ready. Now it is time to bring people in, make sure they can log in, and validate that everything works with real usage.
Install the mobile app
Get collaborators started with the mobile experience for time tracking and clocking.

Walk through the core flow for adding a time entry.
Open quick start3.1 — Send invitations
Invite all collaborators to the platform. After they log in, spot-check that each person sees the right apps and data for their role.
- Add collaborators — includes sending invitations
- Manage collaborators
3.2 — Install the mobile app and test
Have a few collaborators install the mobile app and create their first time entry or clock-in. This is the fastest way to confirm that the system is correctly configured.
- Install the smartphone app
- Exploring the mobile app
- Create time entries
- Clock in and out
- Clock in without login (QR code)
3.3 — Share self-service resources
Forward these pages to your team so they can learn the interface on their own:
Step 4 — Run the first reporting cycle
After at least one full work period with real data, it is time to check the numbers and generate your first export.
4.1 — Generate reports
4.2 — Verify hours and balances
Compare expected hours, actual hours, and absences. If something looks off, the most common cause is a missing or incorrect work schedule assignment.
4.3 — Export for payroll
Once the data looks correct, export it and send it to your payroll provider or labor consultant.
Step 5 — Expand with additional modules
With the HR foundation in place, you can activate more capabilities without repeating the setup work.
Projects and task tracking
Connect reported hours to projects so managers can see where time goes:
Reimbursements and expense reports
Let employees submit expenses and managers approve them directly inside RevasOS:
Resource allocations
Monitor how the team's capacity is distributed and spot under- or over-loaded people:
