HR Technology

Published on: Feb 26, 2020

You may already have an attendance machine installed at your office or factory. But are you using its full potential?

An attendance machine does more than just record when your employees clock in and out — it holds a wealth of data that, when used effectively, can improve workforce management, productivity, and payroll accuracy.

You may already be using your attendance machine to monitor employee presence and generate monthly payroll. But have you truly explored how much more insight and control you can gain from this data? Let's explore the right way to manage employee attendance.

Smarter Workforce Management with Runtime HRMS

Runtime HRMS enables you to harness the full power of your attendance machine data. By integrating with your existing system, Runtime HRMS can help you identify patterns, enforce policies, and automate time-based calculations. Here’s how:

1. Track Early/Late Arrivals and Departures

Define each employee’s default shift timings, and the system will automatically highlight deviations — including early arrivals, late comings, early departures, and late exits.

2. Customizable Attendance Rules

Create and enforce attendance policies tailored to your organization:

Mark half-day or leave for employees who exceed predefined late-in or early-out thresholds.
Auto-detect long breaks or idle hours, helping you improve productivity and accountability.

3. Automatic Overtime Calculation

Automatically calculate overtime pay when employees work beyond their standard shift hours. This feature is particularly useful in manufacturing or project-based industries where every minute counts.

4. Production-Based Salary Calculation

In production-driven environments, Runtime HRMS enables real-time salary computation based on actual hours worked — ensuring fair compensation and streamlined payroll processes.

Seamless Integration with Attendance Machines

Payroll, a core part of the Runtime HRMS suite, supports integration with almost all types of attendance machines, regardless of make or model. Whether your device exports data in Excel, CSV, TXT, or MS Access formats, Runtime HRMS & Payroll Software can automatically import it every payroll cycle — no manual intervention is needed.

Setup is simple: configure once, and your system will fetch attendance data whenever payroll is run.
