Alert Financial Controller

Recently I was in a meeting with a Financial Controller of a company for their Time Attendance requirements. They had already purchased some time back few Face cum Fingerprint Readers from another vendor. ZK is one of the well known Chinese brands. However he needed something more than what the existing system was providing. So he wanted a meeting with me.

During our discussions, I informed him only those who are entitled for overtime will get OT. System will not calculate OT for employees who are not entitled for it.

Some time later I told him of another feature which gives automatically full attendance to employees (if they are present), even if as per IN/OUT time, number of hours worked by them is less than the regular hours they are supposed to work. This feature is for employees like marketing executives, managers etc whose job requires them to be out of office.

The FC was appreciative of both features but immediately said that system should not allow a person to be marked both with "Entitled for OT" and "Auto Full Attendance".  This is because those who are paid overtime, also have their salary deducted (usually) for working less than required hours. Therefore it will not be a good idea to give them full attendance automatically

I was impressed by how fast he caught on to this point. I have to say that not many get it immediately. He was happy that our system works exactly as he had observed. See below, as soon as one tries to tick both, a pop-up comes up that this cannot be done.
