Time and Attendance
Time and attendance refers to the systems and processes used by employers to track and manage employee work hours, attendance, and time off. This includes recording the hours worked, overtime, sick leave, vacation time, and holidays, as well as monitoring lateness, absenteeism, or early departures.
Time and attendance systems may be manual (e.g., paper-based logs) or automated through software solutions that allow employees to clock in and out, request time off, and monitor their accrued time.
These systems help ensure that employees are paid accurately, assist with labor cost management, and help maintain compliance with labor laws, such as regulations governing overtime and paid leave. Automated time and attendance solutions can integrate with payroll systems, streamlining the payroll process.
