Perplexity

Check PTO and Leave Balances

You can run the `accruals` tool to see what PTO or sick time an employee has saved up. It pulls current accrual balances, letting you know exactly how much leave is available. This means HR teams get instant visibility into staff leave without logging into a separate system.

Manage Employee Schedules

The `schedules` tool lets your AI client pull the current work schedule for any employee. You can quickly verify shift details or see if someone's rotation changed. It gives you a snapshot of who should be working and when, which is crucial for daily operations.

List Timesheets

Need to confirm hours worked? Use the `timesheets` tool. It pulls records detailing an employee's clocked time periods. This lets you verify actual work hours against expected schedules, catching discrepancies before payroll.
