ANTE User Manual

Manpower Module Overview

The Manpower module is ANTE's human-resources and payroll workspace. It covers everything from employee records and attendance logs to payroll processing, government-contribution reports, and hiring.

You reach it from the Manpower icon in the main sidebar. Opening it shows the Manpower sub-menu on the left and the Dashboard as the default landing screen.

The Manpower Dashboard

The Dashboard is a customizable workspace built from draggable widgets. You can rearrange the widgets to suit how you work.

Summary counters at the top show:

  • Pending Approvals (yours / company)
  • Days Before Cut-off
  • Pending Processing
  • Leaves This Month

Available widgets:

  • Manage Request – requests waiting for your action
  • Action Center – tasks and items that need attention
  • Attendance Conflicts – attendance records that need review
  • Payroll Summary – an overview of payroll figures
  • Announcements – company announcements
  • Daily Attendance – who is in today

See the Dashboard guide for details.

Manpower Menu

The Manpower sub-menu is organized into the following sections.

Dashboard

The default landing screen described above.

Payroll

  • Payroll Time Keeping – review employee time records used for payroll
  • Payroll Center – process and compute salaries
  • Payslip Center – review, distribute, and email employee payslips

HRIS

The Human Resource Information System — employee profiles, contracts, leave, allowance, and deduction assignments. See the HRIS guide.

Hiring

Recruitment pipeline:

  • Dashboard – hiring overview
  • Requisitions – open positions to fill
  • Applicants – candidate records
  • Interviews – scheduled interviews
  • Offers – job offers

Team Management

Organize employees into teams. See the Team Management guide.

Timekeeping Logs

  • Time Importation – import attendance records from external sources (see the Time Importation guide)
  • Raw Logs Browse – view raw attendance log entries
  • Face Scan Logs – review every facial-recognition kiosk scan attempt (matched, rejected, or errored) and see why a scan resolved the way it did

Filings

Employee request filings:

  • Leave Filing
  • Overtime Filing
  • Official Business
  • Certificate of Attendance
  • Schedule Adjustment
  • Rest Day Work Filing

Configuration

Set up the rules payroll and attendance run on:

  • Settings — company-wide HR settings (Time Tracker, overtime/timekeeping rules, payroll thresholds, email notifications)
  • Payroll Group
  • Holidays
  • Service Incentive Leaves — set up leave types and plans; monthly accrual credits stack on top of the annual renewal grant, and a Run renewals now action lets you process today's accruals/renewals immediately instead of waiting for the daily job
  • Deduction — manage employee deduction plans; LOAN-type deductions (HDMF/SSS loans) have an Active Plans, Completed Plans, and Inactive Plans tab
  • Allowance
  • Payroll Approvers
  • Tax Table
  • Annualization
  • Philhealth
  • SSS
  • Pagibig
  • Cut-Off Management — configure payroll period schedules (Weekly, Semi-Monthly, Monthly) and processing days; a live Projected periods panel shows the exact dates a configuration produces, and editing an existing cutoff can re-shape periods that haven't been processed by payroll yet
  • 13th Month Pay

Scheduling

  • Individual Scheduling – assign schedules per employee
  • Team Scheduling – assign schedules to a team
  • Schedule Management – create and maintain work schedules
  • Shift Management – define shift patterns

Reports

  • SSS Contributions
  • PhilHealth Contributions
  • Pag-IBIG Contributions
  • Tax Withholding
    • These four contribution reports are normally filled in automatically when a payroll cutoff is posted. If you open one for a cutoff that's already Posted and it comes up empty, a Generate Report button appears on the empty screen. Click it and the report data for that cutoff is calculated from the posted payroll's figures — one click fills in all four reports (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and Tax Withholding) for that cutoff, so you don't need to click it again on the other three pages. If the data turns out to already exist, you'll see a message saying so instead of the button doing anything — try adjusting the filters in that case. The button only appears for posted cutoffs and only needs the same access you already have to view the report.

Notes

  • 🔒 The sections you see depend on your assigned permissions. If a section listed above does not appear in your sidebar, your role does not have access to it — contact your administrator.
  • ⚙️ Configuration items (payroll groups, holidays, contribution tables, cut-offs, schedules) should be set up before running payroll so calculations use the correct rules.
