Session-level tracking — not just daily gates.

Training institutes need per-class attendance, not school-wide morning registers. Clast marks each session, supports make-up classes, and flags students who miss consecutive sessions.

  • Per-session attendance by batch and instructor
  • QR, kiosk, and instructor roll-call methods
  • Make-up class scheduling for missed sessions
  • Consecutive absence alerts to coordinators
  • Teaching hours auto-synced for payroll

Manage instructors without spreadsheet payroll.

Full-time, part-time, and freelance trainers on one roster. Assign batches, track teaching hours from session attendance, and run payroll — hourly or per-session — with full audit trails.

Hours taught, calculated — not guessed at month end.

When instructors mark a session complete, their verified hours flow into payroll. Support different pay rates per course type, overtime rules, and leave without timetable surprises.

  • Instructor profiles with qualifications and contracts
  • Batch assignment with availability checks
  • Payroll from verified session hours
  • Leave requests with schedule conflict detection
  • Performance reviews on a defined cycle

Questions institute owners ask before switching
