What is Time and Attendance?
Automated Time & Attendance Systems provide an alternative to mechanical time clock systems or paper-based timesheets. The time punch clock, or paper timesheet, is replaced with an electronic badge reader or biometrics.The employee swipes an ID badge through the reader or places a finger on a fingerprint scanner, at the beginning and end of the work period. A wide range of credentials can be used eg. proximity (RFID) tag / card, code (keypad), fingerprint (biometric verification) or facial recognition (biometric verification).The badge / fingerprint reader data is copied regularly to a PC running a Time Attendance Software application that will automatically create timesheets for each employee.
Time & Attendance Software allows companies to track and evaluate the performance and work activities of employees using a single software application. Time & Attendance Software enables employers to store, track and organise the most important employee time related information in one place. Everything needed to track and monitor employee activities and management processes is available on a computer. This can also be invaluable for ensuring regulatory compliance with working regulations and proof of attendance.
