The Main Dashboard in ZenHR serves as the central hub for employees, providing a quick overview of key information and access to essential functions. The dashboard is designed to offer a streamlined view of an employee’s time off balances, quick actions, clocking options, upcoming events, announcements, and more.
Accessing the Dashboard
The dashboard is the default landing page upon logging into ZenHR. If navigating from another section, click on the Home icon on the left-hand sidebar.
Dashboard Overview
The dashboard is divided into several sections that provide users with quick access to important information and actions:
Time Off Balance

Users can select the balance as of a specific date to view how their time off balances have accumulated or been used.
Request Leave

Today’s Clocking
Employees can clock in or out directly from the dashboard.
Upcoming Birthdays
