5 Attendance compliances you can automate easily (like-never-before)

One advantage of face recognition attendance system is ‘automation’. All data gets synced back in real-time, churning reports that can go straight into salary calculations and other reporting. 

Is that really practical? Can you actually do that without the need for manual overrides and physical syncs? After all, there are so many exceptions – branch wise holidays, employee wise weekly offs and so on. 

Well, we worked on all those exceptions and made them a rule within our employee attendance app. You can define all these unique possibilities and automate practically 100%. 

Let’s look into top 5 such compliances

1. Assign weekly off

While most of your employees may have Saturday and Sunday as weekly off, there would be contract workers or shift employees with different week offs. It is particularly true for call centers, plant operations or retail stores. 

How would the system know if an employee is absent or just has a weekly off? You get to define it. You can define employee categories (full time, part-time, contract, temporary, factory etc.) and then assign specific weekly offs for them. 

Of course, you can do it at an individual level or as a bulk action – either ways weekly offs can be taken care of easily.  

2. Define public holidays

In case of multinational organizations, the geography of the branch office defines the public holidays. For instance, an office in Maharashtra may have a public holiday on Uttaran. However, a branch in Kerela may have a public holiday on Onam instead. 

These differences don’t have to be manually entered. Each branch can be defined as a separate site with its own set of public holidays and other rules. 

3. Set workhour calculations

Are your salary calculations dependent on total hours clocked by the employee? There are several ways organizations can calculate it and it is possible to define your own rules. 

You can set the system in a way that it uses the ‘First in, Last out’ rule to report total hours clocked. Alternately, the system can calculate the actual time based on every single in and every single out. 

Either ways, it is easy to spot outliers who have too many outs or break-time. You can go a step further and define all days with less than 5 hours as part-time.

4. Calculate overtime

If you have workers who get daily wages or whose renumeration is calculated ‘per hour’, you might have to pay them overtime for every extra hour. It is a common practice in factories, BPOs and Government organizations.

Even this can be automated using a simple toggle (on/off) for each of the below pre-defined rules 

  • Above 9 hours in a day to be auto added as overtime
  • Consecutive 7th day of work to be auto added as overtime (public holiday not counted)
  • Work hours on public holiday will be added to overtime
  • Overtime apply only when OT is more than 30 minutes
  • Work hours on weekly off will be added to overtime

If you would like to apply these rules to only a specific set of employees, you can segregate them by categories and tick or untick ‘apply overtime’ on relevant categories.  Employers can use this feature to automate time tracking and enforce overtime policy.

5. Detect mask

Would you like to restrict entry to employees who are not wearing mask? Truein face recognition attendance system is geared to identify masks on their faces. It will deny entry in case attendance is marked without it.
