What is a time and attendance system?
A time and attendance system turns employee punch records into a payroll-ready timesheet. The real work is not badge reading but the rule set: which time counts as work, which hours become overtime, which days count as rest.
Which problem does it solve?
- Timesheets are calculated in spreadsheets with the rules in someone's head; when that person changes, the calculation changes.
- Disputes cannot be settled. If raw records are not kept, "I was there that day" has no answer.
- Shift changes break historical calculations. Without versioned rules, recalculating a past period produces a different result.
How it works
The system keeps two layers apart: raw records (punches from the device) and the calculated timesheet. Raw records are never deleted or edited; a correction is added as its own record showing who made it.
Shift, holiday and overtime rules are versioned. When a rule changes, past periods continue to be calculated with the older version; otherwise a closed payroll period would silently change.
Modules
- Shifts: plans, rotations, flexible working, night shift rules.
- Timesheets: worked time, shortfalls, overtime, weekly and public holidays.
- Leave: annual, unpaid, sick and compassionate leave with request and approval flow.
- Corrections: missed punches, forgotten check-outs, manager-approved correction records.
- Reporting: attendance by department, site and period.
Integrations
Access control terminals and hardware, payroll and HR systems, the costing side of ERP for work centres and production shifts, work order records in manufacturing plants, and retail POS till sessions for store staff.
A note on personal data
Time and attendance processes personal data directly. Which data is retained, for how long, who can see it and for what purpose must therefore be defined in writing, and employees must be informed. Using biometric data requires a separate legal assessment; our default design is card or PIN based.
Usage scenarios
- Manufacturing plants: shift work, overtime and its effect on production cost.
- Multi-store retail: shift and staffing plans per store.
- Field teams: mobile check-in with location verification.
- Mixed: flexible office hours and production shifts in one system.
Roll-out
- Rule set: shift models, overtime thresholds, holiday calendar.
- Hardware and records: terminal setup and employee matching.
- Parallel period: one period run alongside manual calculation, with variance analysis.
- Payroll export: output format and approval flow.
Step three should not be skipped: the parallel period exposes gaps in the rule set before payroll closes.
Frequently asked questions
Can we keep our existing turnstile or card system?
Usually yes. What matters is whether the device can export its records by file, database or API. Where replacement is needed, the reason is normally end of vendor support.
How are forgotten check-outs handled?
Missing records are not auto-completed. They are added as manager-approved corrections while the raw record stays untouched. That separation produces evidence in a dispute.
Is overtime calculated automatically according to regulation?
The system applies the thresholds you define. Which thresholds and multipliers apply is a decision for your HR and legal side; we do not set them by default.
