I have been pushing for an attendance management software. But the bosses insist it's ok not to get one because we are just fine without it. Do you think having this kind of software makes a really big difference?

Having an attendance management software makes the job so much easier. You could list down all the benefits for your bosses to see that getting the software is not a useless expense but a good investment.

Aside from not spending time on computing attendance manually, what else are the benefits? I think that as long as the HR department has staff who can do this particular task, then there's nothing wrong with not having a software. I guess HR personnel being busy with tabulating attendance is better than them not having anything else to do during downtime.

An attendance management software will actually save them time and money. These people who say monitoring or managing employee attendance manually is fine obviously have no idea how tedious and time-consuming it is. And if employers hire professional agencies to do this job, it's going to cost the more. Not only that, an attendance management software will promote consistent and optimal work attendance. Employees work will be recorded by the minute, and it will be easy to assess performance and function through this. This will in turn ensure maximum productivity among employees.

Having an attendance management software will give employers a chance to utilize HR personnel for other more critical tasks than just managing attendance manually. Employers can also assign workers to different fields of work or different departents, and the transition will be hassle-free because employee scheduling will be much easier.

Personally, I think attendance management is very useful - so much so that I wrote my own attendance management system that makes use of existing hardware (mobile phones and company PCs with Internet access). Some of the features included in my system are:

1. Up to the minute daily, weekly, or monthly attendance reports.

2. Departmental attendance reports (e.g. what were the total man-hours the marketing team contributed last week?).

3. Ad-hoc reports (e.g. how many man-hours were spent in meeting rooms in the last calendar month?).

4. A “personnel locator” that can report what section, floor, and/or building an employee is in (this can span countries).

5. An PC application that can run on a laptop (an iPad version is currently under constructions) that can "scan" your fire drill meeting points to quickly report who checked into the building but isn't at the meeting point. If the PC has Internet access the application can also tell you if the employee is still in the building (and more importantly the location within the building) or the location he/she was last located.

I'm currently working on additional features, such as the automatic routing of phone calls.

I would say that the most valuable feature is locating people in the event of a fire drill - especially for larger companies that have hundreds of employees and span multiple floors in high rise buildings.

Yes we believe that having an attendance management software would be beneficial to your business as you will be able to manage all employee information from holiday allowances and days taken, to legally required records for accidents and work accidents. All you would require is a good planning tool, have a look at our site. Hope this helps.

I think an attendance management software can really increase the accountability in your business. This is especially true if you are growing and anticipate that that growth will continue. As your business grows, the owner's ability to keep track of everyone lessens. The most important thing that it will give you a way to make sure you are paying people for what they deserve, which will hopefully allow you to save money on payroll.

Today, I received some new provider information for workman's comp at my office. It made me think of this so I came back to read further, and it was mentioned above. I couldn't imagine not having a system that could handle these types of things. Yet, another reason why this is so important.
