The staff side of the school.

Commun runs the students. AccessPoint runs the people who teach them — employees, leave, payroll, appraisal and the front desk. Your staff sign in with the account they already have, and the two systems keep one staff record between them.

Leave to payslip

One request, three desks

A subject teacher applies for three days. The approver the policy named at submission decides. The October payroll run consumes the days. Nobody retypes a date, and nobody chases a form.

Approval chain

Submitted
    The days are only consumed once payroll runs the month.

    Mirrors: AccessPoint → My leave → Approvals → Payslip. AccessPoint is a separate product and has its own interface.

    Leave has three addresses in AccessPoint, and three authorities. The teacher owns her own application. The approver acts on the row even when she holds no HR permission at all — the approval sits at its own address, so a Head of Year is never locked out of a decision she is meant to make. HR sees every application, the calendar behind them, and the year’s entitlement.

    The approver is recorded on the application when it is submitted. Reassign a line manager in January and December’s decisions stay exactly as they were made.

    Days that are paid never reach the payslip as a deduction. Days that are not become an unpaid-leave line on the month’s run, with the payslip number written back onto the leave day, so either screen can answer where a day went.

    What it runs

    The office, not the classroom

    AccessPoint is switched on module by module, per school. A school that wants leave and the visitor book runs only those.

    Human resources

    • Employees, departments, positions and separation
    • Recruitment, onboarding and workspace accounts
    • Employment contracts, approval, signing and expiry
    • Leave — types, policies, entitlements, approvals
    • Payroll — monthly runs, payslips, bank files
    • Claims, cash advances and appraisal cycles

    Front desk

    • Visitor book with kiosk check-in
    • Appointments and counters
    • Queue tickets, public display and take-a-ticket
    • Admission — forms, screening, assessments, offers
    • Event registration, waitlists and attendees

    Day to day

    • Organisation, team and personal calendars
    • Team planner — sprints, backlog, tasks
    • Attendance import and audit report
    • A dashboard each role opens on
    • Notices by e-mail, Slack and WhatsApp

    Administration

    • Roles assembled from a permission catalogue
    • Staff accounts and teams
    • Digital signing with one-time codes
    • Form builder and reference numbering
    • Branding, e-mail templates and logs

    Attendance is deliberately a reference report, never a payroll input. A door reader is evidence for a conversation, not an instruction to dock pay.

    Payroll

    A run the Finance Director signs, not one she inherits

    Every monthly run walks the same five states, and each hand-over is a permission rather than a habit. A run cannot be paid before it is approved, and reopening an approved run is itself recorded.

    Draft

    The month is opened and the staff in scope are drawn from their payroll profiles.

    Computed

    Standing pay, recurring lines, claims, adjustments, unpaid leave and the statutory deductions are calculated.

    Confirmed

    Inputs are locked. Units and unpaid days can no longer drift under the figures being reviewed.

    Approved

    Whoever approves is not whoever prepared. A rejection sends the run back with its reason attached.

    Paid

    Bank files and payslips are generated, and each payslip becomes visible to the member of staff it belongs to.

    Malaysian statutory lines

    EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB, zakat and HRDF are computed as their own payslip lines, employee and employer sides kept apart, against the school’s own registered numbers.

    Bank files, not spreadsheets

    A run generates the payment file in the format the school banks with, alongside the general-ledger accounts finance posts against.

    Year end, in one place

    Borang EA statements and the Form E return are generated from the year’s locked runs, and every member of staff downloads their own from the payslips screen.

    Connected to Commun

    Two systems, one staff record

    AccessPoint is registered against your school inside Commun and switched on by you. Nothing crosses between them that you have not turned on.

    One sign-in, from Commun

    A teacher opens AccessPoint from Commun and is already signed in. There is no second password to reset in September, and no second list of leavers to close in July.

    Only teachers and staff make that crossing. A parent who finds the link is refused by design.

    The staff master record lives here

    Employees, departments and positions are maintained once, in AccessPoint. Commun reads them, so the person who appears as a form tutor is the person the payroll knows.

    Your school’s own branding

    Colours, logo, favicon and the e-mail layout are set per school, so AccessPoint arrives in staff inboxes looking like the school rather than like a supplier.

    Switched on per school

    Every module is a flag. Turn on leave in August and payroll in January, if that is the order the office is ready in.

    Roles, not job titles

    Permissions are assembled from a catalogue, so an approver can decide without being handed the whole HR module.

    Three languages

    Staff screens and notices carry English, Malay and 中文 — the same three the family side of Commun uses.

    Status

    Live, and in daily use

    AccessPoint is in production. Leave, payroll, contracts, appraisal, admission and the front-desk modules are running now, signed in from Commun, with the shared staff record in place. It is set up alongside Commun rather than sold apart from it, so the school keeps one supplier and one conversation.
