# MJX People — HR and staff attendance software

> What MJX People covers — staff records, leave, HR letters, Ask HR, phone check-in, shifts, biometric machines — and where to start.

MJX People is how Pathshala keeps your staff on the record: who works here, who reports to whom, leave with real balances, letters on your letterhead, and attendance that each person marks from their own phone. It is made of **MJX HR** and **MJX Attendance** on the website, and the **MJX People** app that every employee installs.

In Pathshala, the same screens work for an office, a shop, a clinic or a company (a **Business**) and for a school or coaching centre's teachers and staff.

## Who is it for?

2. Add your team on [People](people/employees).
3. Set [leave days](people/leave) and [who reports to whom](people/roles-and-managers).
4. Ask everyone to install the [MJX People app](people/people-app).

> [!TIP]
> Open **HR portal** once you are set up. Its **Set up HR** card lists what is still missing — logo, joining dates, leave days, holidays, the first policy, managers and the verification email — and ticks each one off.
