System Overview

Everything You Need for Attendance Management

Comprehensive attendance features designed to track employee time accurately, manage shifts effectively, and integrate seamlessly with payroll processing.

Employee Portal Attendance

Employees mark attendance directly from their personal portal with check-in and check-out functionality. Ideal for remote workers, work-from-home employees, and distributed teams who don't have physical office access. Simple portal login enables attendance marking from anywhere.

Cloud-Based Kiosk System

Deploy kiosk attendance terminals at office locations for on-site employees. Cloud-based kiosk managed by admin allows employees to mark attendance using only their username—no password required. Perfect for physical offices, factories, warehouses, and retail locations.

Shift-Based Attendance Logic

Attendance operates according to assigned employee shifts and time zones. Employees check in 15 minutes before shift start time and cannot mark early attendance. System validates check-in and check-out times against shift schedules to prevent time theft and ensure accuracy.

Worked Hours Calculation

Automatically calculate total worked hours based on check-in and check-out times. System tracks actual time worked, break durations, and early departures. Worked hours feed directly into payroll calculations for accurate salary processing based on attendance.

Early Checkout Validation

When employees attempt early checkout before completing half their shift, system displays warning that attendance will be marked absent, not half-day. Employee must confirm early departure decision. Prevents accidental early checkouts and ensures policy compliance.

Overtime Request Management

When employees check out after shift end time, system prompts to mark overtime. Employee submits overtime request with duration and reason. Admin reviews and approves or rejects overtime requests. Approved overtime recorded in system and calculated in payroll processing.

Leave & Holiday Integration

Approved employee leave requests automatically marked as On Leave in attendance records. Public holidays configured in system automatically mark attendance as Holiday. Seamless integration between leave management and attendance tracking eliminates manual attendance entry for absences.

Bulk Attendance Management

Admin manually marks or updates attendance for single or multiple employees simultaneously. Useful for correcting attendance errors, recording attendance from biometric devices, or handling employees without system access. Bulk update capabilities save significant administrative time.

Attendance Methods

Dual Tracking for Every Work Environment

Flexible attendance tracking options that accommodate both remote and on-site workforces.

Employee Portal Check-In

Remote and distributed employees mark attendance through secure employee portal login. Check-in and check-out from web browser or mobile device. Location and timestamp automatically recorded. Perfect for remote work, hybrid schedules, and flexible work arrangements.

Kiosk Terminal Setup

Deploy cloud-based kiosk system at physical office locations, reception areas, factory floors, or store entrances. Admin configures and manages kiosk settings remotely. Single kiosk supports unlimited employees for cost-effective on-site attendance tracking.

Username-Only Kiosk Login

Employees enter only their username at kiosk terminals—no password required for faster check-in. Streamlined process reduces lines during shift changes. Optional integration with biometric devices or RFID badges for enhanced security where needed.

Real-Time Attendance Updates

Attendance records updated instantly when employees check in or out via portal or kiosk. Admin views real-time attendance status showing who's present, absent, late, or on leave. Live dashboard provides immediate workforce visibility.

Time Zone Support

System handles employees across multiple time zones automatically. Attendance validated against employee's assigned time zone and shift times. Perfect for global teams, international offices, and distributed workforces spanning different regions.

Attendance Validation

Automatic validation prevents invalid attendance entries including too-early check-ins, duplicate entries, and check-outs without check-ins. System enforces attendance policies consistently and flags anomalies for admin review.

Shift Management

Flexible Shift Configuration

Create and manage multiple shift types with custom schedules and working hours.

Multiple Shift Creation

Create unlimited shift types including day shift, night shift, rotating shifts, split shifts, and flexible schedules. Define shift names, colors, and descriptions for easy identification. Accommodate diverse workforce scheduling needs.

Shift Timing Configuration

Set specific start time, end time, and total shift duration for each shift type. Configure break times, grace periods for late arrivals, and minimum working hours. Define shift-specific attendance rules and policies.

Working Days Selection

Specify which days of the week each shift operates—Monday through Sunday or custom day combinations. Support weekend shifts, weekday-only schedules, and alternating work weeks. Align shifts with business operational hours.

Employee Shift Assignment

Assign employees to specific shifts based on role, department, location, or preference. Change shift assignments as needed for coverage or employee requests. Track shift history and schedule changes over time.

Shift Rotation Support

Configure rotating shift patterns for employees who alternate between different shifts weekly or monthly. Automate shift rotations to reduce manual scheduling. Ensure fair distribution of less desirable shift times across team.

Shift Overlap Management

Handle shift handovers and overlap periods where employees from consecutive shifts work simultaneously. Track attendance accurately during transition times. Prevent gaps in coverage during shift changes.

Attendance Rules

Smart Attendance Logic

Intelligent attendance rules ensure policy compliance and accurate time tracking.

Early Check-In Prevention

Employees cannot check in more than 15 minutes before their shift start time. System displays message if check-in attempted too early. Prevents time padding and ensures accurate shift hour tracking aligned with actual work periods.

Half-Day Validation

System calculates if employee worked sufficient hours for half-day credit. Check-out before completing half-shift triggers absent status, not half-day. Warning message explains consequence before employee confirms early departure decision.

Absent Status Assignment

Employees who don't check in, check in too late, or leave too early automatically marked absent based on configured rules. Absent days excluded from payroll working days calculations unless leave approved.

Leave Integration

Approved leave requests automatically update attendance status to On Leave for specified dates. Paid leaves count as present days in payroll while unpaid leaves reduce salary calculations. Eliminates duplicate attendance and leave data entry.

Holiday Attendance

Public holidays configured in system automatically mark all employees as Holiday status. No manual attendance entry required. Holidays excluded from absence calculations and handled according to company policy in payroll.

Grace Period Configuration

Set grace period minutes for late arrivals before marking employee as late or absent. Balance strict punctuality with reasonable flexibility. Configure different grace periods for different shifts or employee levels.

Overtime Management

Track & Approve Overtime

Admin Review & Approval

Admin or manager reviews overtime requests with context including project deadlines, workload, and business need. Approve or reject with comments. Approval workflow ensures overtime costs controlled and legitimate.

Overtime Rate Configuration

Configure overtime pay rates as multipliers of regular hourly rate—1.5x for weekday overtime, 2x for weekends, etc. Different rates for different employee levels or conditions. Rates automatically applied in payroll calculations.

Overtime Limits & Policies

Set maximum overtime hours per day, week, or month to prevent employee burnout and control costs. System alerts when employees approach overtime limits. Enforce company overtime policies consistently.
