what is an attendance management system?

Attendance management basically refers to tracking and monitoring the total numbers of hours employee spends at the workplace. Every employee in the organization is assigned a specific shift time. Tracking these working hours, monitoring the leaves and late logins, etc manually is time consuming task. 

Having an attendance management system in place to track and manage these functions will not only help your organization to save time but also reduces the risk of errors as compared to manual calculations. 

A cloud-based attendance management system makes it easy to track and access the related information. The time sheets even act as a resource while the processing payroll for the employees. The HR will not have to maintain any papers to keep a track of working hours of the employees. They can directly generate reports based on the data in the attendance management system and can consider this data while calculating payroll for the employees. 


A bio metric based attendance software system is what you need to manage the attendance for employees in a hassle free mode.


Here are some key features that every attendance management system should have:


  • Any attendance management system should be flexible and provide you with options to create multiple schedules as all the employees fall under different shifts. 


  • One more important feature is payroll integration. The attendance management system should be able to seamlessly integrate with payroll system which will ensure efficient processing of payroll.


  • Providing an option to login through mobile will make it easy for the employees to clock-in while they are working from home or meeting clients elsewhere. 


  • It should provide an option to generate different reports through the attendance dashboard which will help the managers as well as the employees to access whenever needed. 

Missing punch alerts is another vital feature that an attendance management system should possess. It will ensure that the managers are aware of it well in advance so that there is no hustle at the end of the month when they are supposed to lock the data for payroll.
