Employee Management System

Laravel · MySQL · Role-Based Access

A full employee management platform built with Laravel and MySQL, owned and operated by the company admin. Covers position-based access control, employee records, attendance, hourly salary calculation with overtime/under-time adjustments, internal posts, and task tracking with deadline-based reporting.

Project Overview

This is a complete in-house Employee Management System built for a company where the admin (the business owner) is the top-level authority. From a single admin dashboard, the owner defines positions, assigns menu-level access to each position, and manages every employee record. The system tracks daily attendance (two entries per day — check-in and check-out), calculates monthly salary on an hourly basis (with automatic overtime pay when hours exceed the target and deductions when they fall short), and provides a lightweight social layer with company posts and replies to strengthen internal communication. Admin can also assign tasks with deadlines and monitor completion through a task overview. A dedicated work-hours graph visualises each employee's contribution, giving management a clear, data-driven picture of productivity across the team.

Challenges & Solutions

Challenge

Preventing employees from seeing admin-only features like salary calculation, position management, and other employees' records.

Solution

Built a position-based access control system where the admin defines each position and maps it to a specific set of visible menu items. Employees only see what their position grants them, enforced both in the UI and on the server side.

Challenge

Calculating monthly salary fairly when employees work variable hours and sometimes exceed or fall short of their target monthly hours.

Solution

Designed an hourly salary engine that compares actual logged hours against the target (e.g. 4 hrs/day × 20 days = 80 hrs). Any hours above the target are paid as overtime; any shortfall is deducted, producing an accurate month-end payout automatically.

Challenge

Giving management a quick, visual sense of who is contributing the most working hours without manually reading attendance tables.

Solution

Built a work-hours contribution graph that aggregates each employee's logged hours and renders them side-by-side, so productivity trends are visible at a glance.

Challenge

Keeping internal communication and task accountability inside the same system instead of scattered across email and messaging apps.

Solution

Added a company post feed with replies for open communication, and a task system with deadlines so admins can assign work and track completion from a single overview screen.

Gallery

Dashboard Home

The landing view after an admin logs in. From here the owner has quick access to positions, employees, attendance, salary, posts, and tasks — the full control surface of the company in one place.

Position-Based Access Control

The admin defines each position in the company and maps it to a specific set of menus. Every employee inherits their visible features from their assigned position — so an accountant sees salary and reporting screens, while a field employee only sees attendance and tasks. Access is enforced on both the UI and the server, keeping sensitive data protected.

Employee Directory

A consolidated list of every employee in the company with their assigned position, contact details, and status. Admins can search, filter, and open any employee record to edit details or review history.

Add & Onboard Employees

Adding a new employee is a guided flow: fill in personal details, assign a position, and the correct access permissions are applied automatically. The new record immediately appears in the employee list and starts contributing to attendance, salary, and task workflows.

Daily Attendance (Two Entries Per Day)

Each employee logs in and out twice a day — one check-in/check-out pair per shift. Every entry writes directly to the database and is timestamped, giving the admin an accurate, tamper-resistant record of who worked and when. This attendance data feeds directly into the salary calculation engine.

Hourly Salary Calculation with Overtime & Deductions

Salary is computed on an hourly basis. If an employee is contracted for 4 hours a day (roughly 80 hours a month without off-days) and actually logs 84 hours, the extra 4 hours are paid as overtime. If they log fewer hours than their target, the shortfall is deducted. This gives the admin an automatic, fair, and transparent monthly payout calculation without manual spreadsheets.

Company Posts & Replies

An internal social feed where any authorised employee can create posts and reply to others. This lightweight communication layer keeps announcements, questions, and updates inside the same system — strengthening the team's internal network without dragging everyone onto a third-party chat app.

Task Assignment with Deadlines

Admins can create tasks for specific employees and set a deadline for each. Deadlines are visible to both sides, giving the owner a clear tool for delegating work and holding people accountable without chasing updates over messaging.

Task Completion Overview

A single screen that aggregates every task in the system — grouped by status, owner, and deadline. Admins can see at a glance what's in progress, what's overdue, and what's been completed, and drill into any task for details.

Work-Hours Contribution Graph

A visual report that aggregates each employee's logged working hours and displays them side-by-side. Management can instantly spot top contributors, identify workload imbalances, and back up performance reviews with concrete data instead of guesswork.
