An electronic time attendance system that runs on iPad or iPhone
eTimeclock replaces the current punch card and fingerprint systems for time and attendance tracking, while at the same time boosting the efficiency of the human resource management.
With the current industry practice of using punch card and fingerprint systems to record employee attendance, company administrators are required to spend precious hours extracting and consolidating the data into an excel spreadsheet, as well as computing the figures manually on a monthly basis. This time-consuming process can lead to inaccurate calculations due to human errors.
eTimeclock is an electronic time attendance management system that is hassle-free by wiping out the need for manual data extractions as well as calculations, and is effective in eliminating 'buddy punching'. Employers simply need to place a wall-mounted iPad (or iPhone) at the entrance of the workplace with the downloaded eTImeclock software from Apple's Appstore. To record the attendance, staff members can simply enter their PIN numbers, press the IN or OUT button on the iPad (or iPhone) software. The device will record the time and GPS location, and take a photograph of the staff member using the iPad or iPhone camera. The data is then sent instantaneously to the servers hosted in the 'cloud' (i.e. Internet).
This effectively eliminates the possibility of 'buddy punching' and allows the administrator to view the employees' worksites on Google map. The managers can also be notified via emails if employees fail to show up by a designated time.
With eTimeclock, the administrator is able to configure the working hours for the company, as well as setting up the overtime policies. The employees can be assigned to the various shift schedules set up in the system.
