HR Beacon: Track work schedule indicators in real time

Many HR and Payroll teams manage work hours reactively, identifying inconsistencies, accumulated overtime, or absenteeism patterns only during payroll closing.
When this happens, options for action are often limited, and in many cases, the financial impacts have already occurred.
To help companies act more strategically and proactively, Pontotel developed Farol do DP, an analytical module that brings together dashboards for monitoring key work hour indicators.


In this article, you will learn how the tool works, its features, and the available dashboards.


What is the DP Lighthouse?


The Payroll Lighthouse is an add-on module from Pontotel that transforms operational work schedule data into visual and actionable information.
The solution brings together dashboards developed by experts in work schedule management, allowing you to track important indicators without needing to export spreadsheets or use external Business Intelligence (BI) tools.
With Payroll Lighthouse, you can continuously monitor operations, identify deviations, anticipate risks, and support decision-making based on up-to-date data, directly on the Management website.


Main benefits


By using Farol do DP, your company will have access to:

  • greater visibility into the operation;
  • Continuous monitoring of key performance indicators;
  • Reducing reliance on spreadsheets and manual controls;
  • early identification of operational risks;
  • Support for data-driven decision making;
  • Dashboards developed by experts to meet the needs of the Personnel and HR Department.


How to access the DP Lighthouse


  1. Visit the Pontotel Gestão website .
  2. In the side menu, click on Planning.
  3. Select the DP Lighthouse.

The view is available to users with an HR or Manager profile, provided the module is active for the company.


Available panels


The DP Lighthouse was structured around four main pillars to offer a broad overview of the operation.


Markings


The Time Tracking panel allows you to monitor attendance at different levels of the company.
With it, you can analyze total recorded attendance, from tactical to analytical levels, across various operational areas, and filter by:

  • employer;
  • workplace;
  • collaborator.


Furthermore, the dashboard assists in identifying attempted fraud related to facial recognition and helps differentiate between operational problems, employee behavior, or potential misuse of the tool.


Annual leave


The Time Bank dashboard provides visibility into positive and negative balances, allowing you to identify situations that require attention before they generate financial impacts.
Among the information available are:

  • History of accruals and offsets;
  • balances with excessive accumulations;
  • hours approaching the due date;
  • Distribution by teams, locations, and collaborators.


With this information, managers and HR professionals can act preventively and reduce risks related to overdue balances, as well as decrease costs associated with payments of past due balances.


Exemptions


The Absences panel consolidates information related to absences, medical certificates, and other justifications recorded on the platform.
The analysis allows for:

  • to monitor absenteeism patterns;
  • Identify recurring issues by team or employee;
  • monitor absences;
  • to anticipate potential social security risks.


These indicators help the company to act more strategically in managing the health and attendance of its employees.


Turnover


The Turnover dashboard gathers indicators related to employee movement within the company.
It allows you to track:

  • admissions;
  • layoffs;
  • turnover rate;
  • Indicators by unit or leadership;
  • Retention by cohort.

Cohort retention analysis allows for the identification of periods with higher hiring and termination rates, providing valuable insights for retention and development initiatives.

Advanced filters


All dashboards can be dynamically filtered by:

  • employee;
  • employer;
  • team or workplace.
