Frequently Asked Questions
Attendance management is the process of tracking and managing employee attendance. Businesses use different methods—like spreadsheets, punch cards, timesheets, biometric devices, and time and attendance software systems—to record and manage employee attendance and working hours efficiently.
With more flexible work options and a globally dispersed workforce, it becomes challenging for HR teams to record, manage, and store employee attendance data efficiently. Implementing an attendance management system helps organizations in many ways, including:
- Enhanced workplace productivity: With real-time attendance tracking facilities, businesses can quickly access attendance data as soon as it's recorded. The insights drawn from this data can be transformed into informed decisions, resulting in improved productivity.
- Reduced time theft: A robust attendance system employs different technologies— like IP and geo-fencing, facial recognition, and biometric time clocks—to curb false entries and buddy punching.
- Accurate payroll calculations: An attendance management system accurately calculates the total working hours, days off, and overtime data, resulting in fair and timely payments.
- Compliance with labor laws: Organizations must comply with labor laws and regulations concerning employee work hours and overtime. An attendance system helps them stay compliant by accurately calculating these work hours.
