Time Attendance System and Access Control Devices Installation
Time Attendance System:
Time attendance systems are used to record the working hours of employees primarily in order to pay their wages and Salaries. Some companies have a requirement to record the number of hours spent on specific tasks in order to cost jobs accurately. This is referred to as job costing.
A time & attendance system enables an employer to have full control of all employees working hour’s right at operator fingertip. It is also invaluable for ensuring compliance with labor regulations regarding proof of attendance.
Companies with large employee numbers might need to install several clocking points in order to speed up the process of getting all employees to clock in or out quickly or to record activity in dispersed locations. Depending on the supplier, identification method and number of clocking points required, prices vary widely.
A Time & Attendance System protects a company from payroll fraud and provides both employer and employees with confidence in the accuracy of their wage payments. The recorded information is then ideally automatically transferred to a computer for processing although some systems require an operator to physically transfer data from the clocking point to the computer using a portable memory device. The computer may then be employed to perform all the necessary calculations to generate employee timesheets, which are used to calculate the employees' wages.
Access Control:
Access control is a system which enables an authority to control access to areas and resources in a given physical facility or computer-based information system. An access control system, within the field of physical security, is generally seen as the second layer in the security of a physical structure.
The possession of access control is of prime importance when persons seek to secure important, confidential, or sensitive information and equipment.
Item control or electronic key management is an area within (and possibly integrated with) an access control system, which concerns the managing of possession and location of small assets or physical (mechanical) keys.
Time & Attendance and Access control systems can use electronic tags[disambiguation needed], barcode badges, magnetic stripe cards, biometrics (hand, fingerprint, or facial), and touch screens[1] in place of paper cards which employees touch or swipe to identify themselves and record their working hours as they enter or leave the work area.
