The practical thinking behind choosing a staff attendance system

Choosing a Staff Attendance System is easier to understand when the organisation first separates the worker action from the later management review. The worker should book on when work begins and book off when the working period ends.

Authorised managers can then use booking times, recorded duration, workplace and attendance history to see whether the record is complete, plausible and ready for review. The technology is strongest when expectations, ownership and correction routes have already been made clear.

Staff attendance still needs sensible review. Attendance records should be reviewed before payroll, accounting or employment decisions.
