What is a "Time
Attendance Software"?
It is basically software used by companies to take note of
employees whenever they come to work. There is various software available in
the market which offers such services for recording the comings and goings of
employees.
We just have to find the particular software that suits our
requirements. Now the main function that the time attendance software fulfills
is that it regularly calculates the employees' attendance, namely their arrival
and departure time.
It saves the data in a computer database after recording it.
This data is then used for making reports about an individual worker by the
Human Resource Department. With the help of this software it becomes easy to
calculate leave balances, benefits, paychecks, reduce employee paper trails,
create time sheets, etc.
Why should it be used
and How does it work?
Some people might think it might be a hassle to use such
software but in reality it is the easiest thing to do. All employees can use
this software with ease. After the installation of the software, all employees
are given a personal identity through an identifier.
This identifier allows the software system to recognize the
employee when they enter the office and allows it to record their arriving and
departing times as well. A card with a barcode is also given to the employee,
which can be scanned by a barcode reader.
Of the many different types of software available in the
market, Face Recognition and Access Control software are more widely known. The
Face Recognition software uses the employees' face to identify him while the
Access Control software uses the employees' fingerprint to do so.
Advantages of using
Face Recognition over Fingerprint Access and others methods.
Face Recognition is in all the rage now. In the biometrics
world, it is considered as the most efficient method of identifying a person.
High quality images of employees stored in a computer database give it the
strength to stand on its own.
Access Control which uses finger prints still has the risk
of encountering errors because the pad used for detecting the print may be
dirty or the finger might not be read properly due to being wet and grimy. Also
finger print machines run the risk of being manipulated, resulting into fraud,
duplication and easy hacking. Iris recognition devices are also prone to
interference.
It also brings out in the open some personal details about
the employee that he might want to keep disclosed.
Voice recognition software have the tendency to fail if the
person using has had a sore throat due to some illness or malady. Face
recognition is far more advanced than these other methods and has proved to be
working consistently over a period of time.
Since Time attendance software does not depend on
supervisors or other employees for functioning, the benefit of using this
software is that it does not allow for abuses like 'buddy punching', clock
padding and general impreciseness in time capture.
A user for time attendance software has to be aware of
exactly what he needs from it and then install the software which suits his
requirements.
