On this page
Asa.Team is a workplace-management app for small and growing teams. People clock in and out, request time off and log hours against projects. Admins review the hours, approve requests and prepare payroll. Asa, the built-in AI assistant, answers questions about all of it.
You can use Asa in the browser, and your team can also clock in and ask Asa questions from Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram and WhatsApp. See Integrations overview for what each chat app supports.
Who uses Asa.Team
| Who | What they do in Asa |
|---|---|
| Admins | Set up the company, invite people, set schedules and leave rules, approve requests, review timesheets, and prepare pay runs. The person who creates the workspace is an admin. |
| Team leads | Members who lead a team. They see their team’s timesheets and review their team’s leave and timesheet correction requests, but never their own. |
| Members | Clock in and out, view their own timesheet, request time off and corrections, and work on projects and tasks. |
What each role can open and change is listed in Roles and permissions.
Key concepts
Company
A company is your workspace. Everything in Asa belongs to one company: its people, schedules, projects, leave rules and payroll settings. The sidebar shows the name of the company you are in. If you belong to more than one, you can switch between them from the company name at the top of the sidebar, and you can be an admin in one and a member in another. See Company settings.
Workspace
“Workspace” and “company” mean the same thing. Asa asks you to Set up your workspace the first time you sign in, and the result is your company. Set up your company walks through it.
Member
A member is a person in the company. Every member has a profile, an optional team, a work schedule and, if you use payroll, an hourly rate. Admins add people from Company > Members. See Members.
Team
A team is an optional group of members. Teams let you give each group its own schedule, name a team lead, and filter the dashboard, timesheets and exports by team. Teams are optional, and an admin turns them on in company settings. When teams are on, a member must belong to a team before they can clock in. See Teams.
Role
A person’s role in a company is Admin or Member. A member who leads a team is a team lead, which adds approval rights over that team. See Roles and permissions.
Schedule
A schedule says when people are expected to work: the days, the start and end times, breaks and a grace period for late clock-ins. The company has a default schedule, a team can have its own, and a member can have an individual one. Asa uses the schedule to show whether someone is on time, how many hours they are expected to work and when they are over or under. See Work schedules.
Project
A project is something your team spends time on. When a member clocks in they can pick the project they are working on, and Asa records those hours against it. Projects can also hold tasks. The Starter plan includes 3 active projects. See Projects and Tasks.
Time off
Members request leave from the calendar, and admins or team leads approve it. Leave types, balances and holidays are set up by an admin. See Calendar, Time off and Leave policies.
Pay period
A pay period is the stretch of time one payroll run covers, such as a week, a fortnight or a month. Admins set the pay schedule in payroll settings. For each period, Asa turns the hours people tracked into a draft pay run that the admin reviews, approves, locks and exports. See Set up payroll and Pay runs.
Asa prepares payroll data. It does not pay anyone or connect directly to payroll providers; you export the file and import it into your provider.
Plans
Asa.Team has four plans: Starter, Growth, Scale and Enterprise. Starter is free for up to 5 people and needs no card, Growth allows up to 20 team members, Scale up to 50, and Enterprise has no member cap. Plans are priced per company, not per seat. Current prices and limits are on the pricing page.
