FAQs
What are the best ways for tracking employee attendance?
There are multiple methods for tracking employee attendance. Some of the most common methods used in companies include manually entering the time into spreadsheets or physical registers, card swiping, and biometric scanners which use either fingerprint, retina or facial recognition or dedicated GPS tracking. Depending on the business and the allocated budget, companies may choose to deploy either one or a combination of these systems.
With the help of modern technology, companies are coming up with innovative systems to track employee attendance, such as scanning them using CCTV cameras to track their attendance in the company as well as utilizing the GPS sensors on their smartphones to track and locate them remotely.
How does GPS attendance work?
The preliminary GPS attendance and location tracking software used to require the employees to carry GPS-enabled devices. However, with the integration of GPS sensors into modern smartphones, it became much more feasible for companies to manage and track their employees via their smartphone location services, which utilize their phone’s GPS sensor.
The GPS sensor transmits location data, such as latitude and longitude coordinates, to the location tracking system’s central database. The system compares the transmitted time and location data with predefined attendance zones, called ‘geofences’. If the employee’s location and time fall within the geofence and working hours respectively, their attendance is captured in the system. This process is completely automated, ensuring accurate time tracking and attendance without manual intervention.
What are the benefits of implementing a GPS attendance management system?
There are numerous benefits of deploying a GPS attendance management system such as:
1. Improved Accuracy
GPS can be used to locate any individual remotely with an improved level of accuracy. Hence, GPS-based systems improve the accuracy of your employee attendance by multiple times.
2. Enhanced Convenience
Since the system runs on automated rules, you need not repeatedly manually mark employee attendance, as is the norm in the case of manual attendance-capture systems.
3. Real-time Geotracking
With the use of GPS, you can track your employees in real-time using geotracking technology. It will help you track the whereabouts of your remote and on-site staff and ensure adherence.
4. Geofencing Capabilities
GPS attendance systems create geofences, within which your employees can mark their attendance. Additionally, geofences can also be used to refrain anyone from going in and out of your company premises during work hours.
Why should you avoid manual attendance tracking?
There are numerous disadvantages for your company in using the legacy manual methods of time and attendance capture, such as:
Human Errors
Manual attendance capture relies on the individuals in your field to provide accurate attendance times as well as stay vigilant to avoid inaccurate attendance records. Hence, they are highly susceptible to manual errors.
Malpractices
Since their salaries depend on the attendance of employees, some of them might stoop to malpractices like time theft and buddy-punching to gain unfair advantages.
Time-consuming
Manual attendance capture and tracking is a time-consuming process, which results in multiple administrative tasks that could be saved with the help of automated systems.
Paperwork Storage
As manual systems require the use of physical ledgers, it becomes inconvenient to manage them as they consume a lot of space.
Compliance
Since attendance is correlated to employee salaries, there are multiple compliances which should be considered. There are chances of unintentional omissions in these compliances when using manual methods for attendance capture.
Are there any privacy concerns associated with GPS attendance systems?
Since the GPS attendance systems track and record the location of the employees whose attendance is being captured, it leads to several privacy concerns. Hence, it is crucial to obtain consent from the staff before commencing this process.
Additionally, companies should clearly communicate the purpose of GPS tracking the location of their staff, how this location data would be used, and stay compliant with any regulations regarding user data.
