Time and Attendance Machine :
is a device used by organizations to track and record the working hours of employees. These machines play a crucial role in workforce management, payroll processing, and maintaining accurate records of attendance. There are various types of time and attendance systems, ranging from traditional punch clocks to modern biometric systems. Here are some common features and types:
Traditional punch clocks use time cards that employees physically insert into the machine to record their working hours. While less common in modern workplaces, some organizations still use these systems.
Biometric Time Clocks: These systems use biometric data, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans, to verify the identity of employees during clock-in and clock-out. Biometric time clocks provide a high level of accuracy and help prevent buddy punching (when one employee clocks in or out for another).
Mobile Time and Attendance: Mobile-based systems allow employees to clock in and out using their smartphones or tablets. GPS tracking may also be incorporated to verify the location of the employee when clocking in.
Reporting and Analytics:Time and attendance systems often include reporting and analytics features, allowing administrators to generate various reports related to attendance, working hours, and overtime.
