A large variety of things depend in life on being on time. There are times and places, where one has to be punctual for the entire experience to go smoothly and satisfactorily. This is specially true when it comes to an office environment. When employees report to work on time, they are more likely to perform better because of a stress free mind. This implies that if time and attendance are adhered to, then not only does the practice benefit the company and the business but also is beneficial for the all round development and growth of the employees. There is however, a risk of dispute when the time and attendance is not managed properly. A lot of companies follow the practice of noting time and attendance manually, which leaves a lot of scope for mistakes and errors, leading to misunderstandings between employees and the authorities that they work for. In such cases an employee attendance software works ideally in noting the in and out time of an employee and automatically notes whether a particular employee has been present at work or not.

The software works in combination with a physical machine, which could be biometric or could be a card reader or might be operated with a pass code. This machine transfers information from the physical machine to the virtual software. This means that the time at which a particular employee reports to work is automatically sent via a server to the employee attendance software, the same process takes place when an employee leaves for the day and he or she punches in the out time. The software is extremely useful because of the facility to easily store multiple employee timings and shifts, meaning that it may be able to manage data of employees working at different timings. The program also helps in keep track of those employees who work on site or on field, which means that they may not be able to report to office on a daily basis. The employee attendance software helps in managing the leaves for the employees as granted by the policies of a company and it also proves to be of value when at the end of a month, the salaries need to be calculated, based on the time for which the employees have worked.

All in all, it has been observed that the managers of time and attendance of employees, find it extremely useful when the data is managed with the help of a software, so that there is no miscommunication or misunderstanding involved in the process and a complete transparency is maintained in the working of the people. The software is a small step towards creating harmony between staff and authorities of a company and being able to convey the right information, without the chances of errors.
