In the beginning, employer monitor their employee’s attendance with log book. Whereby, staff has to sign in and out in the log book. On the other hand, employer can also install time clock. With the time clock, employee has to clock in and out using attendance card. Unfortunately, there are some issues in both systems:

• Misplace of log book
• Missing attendance card
• Forget to sign in and out / clock in and out
• Not recording the actual arrival / leaving time
• Issue of sincerity – another person clock in / out on behalf.

Nowadays, employers can opt for a more up-to-date ‘time attendance system’ in the office. Time attendance system is a software. It is used to record the working hours of employees, break hours, early departures, non-attendance and related matter. Attendance can be recorded with electronic tags, barcode badges, magnetic stripe cards and fingerprint and many more.

Time Attendance System is useful to maximize cash flow and minimize waste whereby it increases productivity by

• Reducing manpower on supervising the matter
• Reducing tedious manual administration processes
• Reducing risk of errors that are common in manual system
• Reducing the risk of over payments due to transcription error or intentional error

On top of that, automated time attendance system comes with security system, accountability and efficiency.
