## Core Features

### 1. Tap-to-Assign Scheduling

Build a full week's schedule in 10 minutes instead of hours. See your whole team at a glance, tap to assign shifts. Works across multiple branches. Daily, weekly, and monthly views available.

### 2. GPS Employee Check-in

Employees check in from their phone. GPS confirms they are at the correct location using a geofence radius set per branch. Late arrivals are flagged automatically. Managers see real-time attendance in the dashboard.

### 3. LINE Notifications

Hit publish and every employee receives their schedule as a LINE Flex message. No downloads, no training needed. Works with LINE's existing notification system. Shift reminders sent 5 minutes before shift start and end.

### 4. Multi-Branch Support

Add unlimited branches. Switch between locations in one tap. Each branch can have its own shift types, geofence settings, and employee roster.

### 5. Field Team Dispatch

For businesses where employees go to different client sites daily (cleaning companies, security firms, sales teams). Plan daily routes with multiple stops, each with its own address and arrival time. Employees receive routes via LINE with navigation buttons for each stop. GPS check-in at every site. End-of-day summary for managers. Route templates for recurring schedules.

### 6. Attendance Reports

Track attendance across all branches. Export reports as CSV (bilingual Thai/English headers) or branded PDF. Filter by date range, employee, or location. Summary statistics plus per-day detail rows.

### 7. Payroll Calculation

Built-in bi-monthly payroll support. Configurable pay periods (monthly or bi-monthly). Automatic calculation based on attendance records. Supports SSO deduction splitting across pay periods.

### 8. Shift Reminders

Automatic LINE notifications 5 minutes before shift start (with check-in button) and 5 minutes before shift end (with check-out button). Opt-in per business. Also available for field team per-stop arrival times.

### Onboard a New Employee in 5 Minutes on LINE (No App to Download)
Step-by-step guide for Thai SMB owners to add a new employee to their team using the WorkCo LINE mini app. The whole flow takes 5 minutes. The new employee never installs anything new because WorkCo runs inside LINE. Five steps: (1) owner taps Invite Team in WorkCo; (2) owner shares the auto-generated 12-hour invite link via LINE; (3) employee taps the card and WorkCo opens inside their LINE app with name and photo auto-filled from LINE; (4) employee taps Join and is added instantly with no manager-approval step; (5) when the owner sends the schedule, a Flex message lands in the employee's LINE chat with date, time, location, and a check-in button. Why it works: LINE has 53 million monthly active users in Thailand (2026), so every Thai employee already uses it daily. Includes 3 pro tips: share into team LINE group not 1-on-1, set role and branch from the join notification, expired links can be re-requested by the employee with hourly throttle. FAQ covers app downloads (none required), invite link expiry (12 hours), approval step (auto-approved), account creation (none — uses LINE Login), schedule delivery (LINE Flex message), and pricing (free during Early Access through 2027).
