What Is Incomplete Attendance?

What is "Incomplete Attendance"? This is when an employee has odd number of attendance records on a day.

Why "incomplete"?

Because "complete attendance" will always have 2 or 4 or 6 attendance records in a day. You cannot calculate "number of hours worked" with odd numbers of records. Can you?

So what do you do when an employee forgets a punch? With a good attendance software you can manually and securely create a record to "complete" the attendance. Of course you should be able to see in relevant reports (Daily Attendance & Time Card reports) that this record was not created at attendance terminal, but was manually created. TAS2000 does this PLUS keeps a separate log of such manual activity.

Mostly in companies, there are two attendance records in a day (IN and OUT). However TAS2000 allows 6 (3 INs and 3 OUTs) records per day. In addition, the number of non-attendance records has no limit. By non-attendance records, I mean records which have no affect on attendance hours. Examples of non-attendance records are: job costing in workshop/factory/clinics, door opening in access control etc.

While assessing a system, it is important to find out how it resolves such exceptions. Does it do it easily? Does it do it securely? You would be surprised to find so many other things about the software, while getting answers to such basic requirements of an attendance system.
