Boni People

Keep your team, their working relationships and each day's attendance in one place, without attendance ever moving money.

Your team, and what happened today

Boni People holds who works with you, on what terms, and whether each person worked today. It is meant to replace the attendance spreadsheet nobody trusts by the end of the month — and it keeps that record firmly separate from anything that moves money.

Your team works in People → Workforce in Boni Panel.

What it keeps together

RecordWhat it holds
PersonSomeone who works with you: an employee, a contractor, or an individual service provider
Working relationshipThe terms they work under, their role, arrangement and responsible team
DayWhether the day was present, absent, partial or leave
CorrectionA changed day, with the earlier version still readable

Mark attendance in seconds

  1. Say what happened. Type a name or a short phrase such as “Asha came today.”
  2. Review the draft. Boni shows the proposed person and day status. An exact existing-person match uses that record instead of creating a duplicate; an ambiguous name needs the human to choose.
  3. Confirm the arrangement. A new direct service provider starts as Independent contractor. Choose Employee, contracted business, agency-provided worker, trainee, or another arrangement if that reflects the actual setup.
  4. Confirm the day. Choose Add & mark present (or the proposed status). Whoever confirms it is on record for the attendance attestation.
  5. Correct it when it was wrong. Change the status through the same control. The correction keeps the day's history rather than silently overwriting it, and two people editing the same day cannot overwrite each other.
StatusUse it when
PresentThe day's work happened
AbsentAn expected day or visit did not happen
PartialOnly part of the expected work happened
LeaveThe day is approved leave rather than work

A working-arrangement label records the organization's current operating view; it is not a legal, tax, payroll, or employment determination. Those depend on the actual relationship and the applicable jurisdiction.

Attendance never moves money

Marking a day records what happened. It does not create payroll, an invoice, a payment, a reimbursement or a journal entry. Compensation runs through Boni Accounting with its own approvals and evidence.

This separation is deliberate. An attendance grid that quietly pays people is the fastest way to make both the attendance record and the payroll record untrustworthy.

What Boni will not guess

A day is recorded only when a person confirms it. Boni can prepare a short entry for review, but it does not let a message or AI silently mark attendance, make a legal classification, approve pay, or move money. It does not create a worker record just because a contact, candidate or payee already exists somewhere in your workspace.

People records are used for people operations and stay inside your workspace.
