Agentic attendance tracking, human-approved
PDKS attendance software.Otto builds the timesheet.
Otto HR is PDKS attendance software: it imports the attendance record you already have, reconciles clock-ins with approved leave, and turns them into a payroll-ready timesheet (puantaj). Otto flags what looks off. A person always has the final say.

Why Otto
Your device produces the data. Otto does the math. You keep the approval.
01
No new hardware
Otto HR sells no devices. It works with whatever your existing card reader or turnstile produces: upload the export file and the records are filed. Small teams without a device can also enter times by hand.
02
Not locked to one computer
The classic PDKS program lives on a single office PC and knows nothing about the rest of HR. In Otto HR, attendance sits in the same platform as leave, employee records and payroll, in any browser, any time.
03
Measured data, orderly records
Otto HR operates no biometric devices and tracks no locations. It processes the clock times your device produces. The goal is personnel management, not surveillance: records that are orderly, reconciled with leave and connected to payroll.
How it works
The file goes in, the numbers come out, you sign off.
Import
Your device data, in from a file
Upload the report your card reader or turnstile already exports. Otto HR matches each row to an employee, files one record per day, and reports exactly what was imported and what didn't match.
Reconcile
Reconciled with approved leave
Because leave lives in the same platform, an approved day off never shows up as an absence. Expected hours come from each employee's shift, leave comes from the leave records, half days included.
Pay
Payroll-ready totals
When you open a pay run, each employee's worked and expected hours sit right next to their salary reference. Take the suggested amount with one click, and the final figure is still yours.
Review
Anomalies surface themselves
Open entries with no clock-out, days missing against the schedule and overtime are flagged automatically. Otto surfaces what needs attention. A person decides what to fix and what to approve.

Frequently asked questions
PDKS stands for personel devam kontrol sistemi, Turkey's term for a personnel attendance control system that records when employees clock in and out, usually associated with card readers, fingerprint or face-recognition terminals at the door. Otto HR's take is the software side: the data your device produces is imported, reconciled with approved leave and turned into a payroll-ready timesheet, with Otto flagging the exceptions and a person keeping the approval. Our glossary carries a fuller definition of the term.
No. Otto HR sells no hardware and requires none: if a card reader or turnstile is already at your door, you upload the file it exports. Teams without a device can record times by hand. Either way, leave reconciliation and the payroll connection work the same.
The device produces the raw data: who clocked in and out, on which day, at what time. A puantaj, the Turkish payroll timesheet, is that data worked into an account: hours worked against hours expected, with leave days marked. Otto HR connects the two: device data comes in, gets reconciled with leave, and the timesheet falls out.
It needs care. Under Article 6 of Turkey's data protection law (KVKK, Law No. 6698), fingerprints and facial data are special-category personal data with strict processing conditions, and published summaries of Turkish Data Protection Board decisions have found biometric entry tracking problematic on proportionality grounds where a lighter method such as a card would do (e.g. decision no. 2019/81, 25 March 2019). Otto HR stays out of that debate: it operates no biometric devices and stores no biometric data, and it processes the clock times your device produces. Review your device choice with your legal counsel.
A device isn't required, but orderly records are, for everyone. Article 9 of the Working Time Regulation under the Turkish Labor Law (Law No. 4857) obliges employers to document employees' working hours with suitable means, even for a ten-person team. In Otto HR that order comes built in: entries added by hand or imported from a file reconcile with leave, connect to payroll, and stay ready to show when asked.
