Attendance Process is the systematic workflow used by an organization to record, monitor, validate, and manage employee attendance throughout a payroll or attendance cycle. It begins with capturing employee check-in and check-out data through biometric devices, facial recognition systems, RFID cards, mobile applications, web portals, or manual entries. The attendance process then applies shift schedules, work calendars, leave records, holidays, overtime rules, late arrivals, early departures, and attendance regularization requests to determine the final attendance status. Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) automate the entire attendance process by integrating attendance devices with payroll, leave management, and workforce planning modules. This automation reduces manual errors, improves payroll accuracy, ensures compliance with labour laws and company policies, and provides real-time attendance reports, dashboards, and workforce analytics for better operational decision-making.
