An effective attendance management software can help to reduce absenteeism and free up your HR team to work on more important tasks.  Good attendance management tools are automated, easy to use, and web-based. 

An attendance management system tracks your employees hours. It enables your workforce to log their arrival, departure and break times. It can generate timely reports to support Payroll & HR functions, and improves security, compliance and health and safety procedures.

By keeping an eye on a workforce’s comings and goings — whether that be work hours, remote login time, breaks, or time off — HR leaders can ensure employees are working when they are supposed to be and being paid appropriately. Attendance tracking systems can also deduce patterns in an organisation’s absenteeism rate and figure out how to reduce it. In the old days, employees used a timesheet or punch clock to track attendance. Today, digital software is an integral component of attendance management systems for top-performing organisations everywhere.

There are many different attendance management system options on the market for companies of all sizes. Regardless of whether you run a small office or a growing facility, there are some basic features any attendance management software offering should contain:

• Clocking in and out: Using a mix of physical touch screen readers and badge readers. HR can quickly see when and where any team member is on-shift at any given time.
• Leave management: Track paid time off, sick leave, and other authorised absences for all of your employees.
• Payroll integration: Whenever an employee punches in, attendance management software automatically logs that data for their payroll records. That allows HR to easily see which employees didn’t finish their shifts, and which ones earned overtime pay.
• Reporting: Quickly generate reports based on absence data to help your leadership team make critical business decisions.
• Reduce duplication and admin errors. Using a good time and attendance system will prevent costly errors that can often happen in the transfer of data between HR and Payroll systems.
• Missed clock-in alerts: Your team will instantly know the moment anyone on a shift fails to properly clock in.
• Calendar integration: By linking to your organisation’s calendar, attendance management software can ensure coverage for every shift.
• Employee self-service: Employees can record their time, view their schedules, request time off, and more without HR assistance.
• Advanced analytics: A good time and attendance software can be configured to your exact business needs to allow HR to easily track the data they need.
