Attendance Management
Attendance management system that fits how your teams actually work
Office staff, field teams and factory workers don't clock in the same way. Manitham's attendance management system supports biometric devices, GPS-based mobile check-in and web punch-in — all feeding into the same attendance record.

Attendance that matches how your teams actually show up
A single attendance method rarely works across an entire organization. Office staff might use a biometric device at the entrance, field sales or service staff need GPS-based check-in from their phone, and remote or hybrid employees need a simple web punch-in. Manitham HRMS supports all three, recording everything into one attendance management system.
From there, shift schedules, late marks and overtime are calculated automatically, so HR isn't manually reviewing punch logs every day.
- Biometric device integration for office and factory locations
- GPS-based mobile check-in for field and site staff
- Web-based punch-in for remote and hybrid employees
- Shift scheduling with automatic late-mark and overtime calculation
- Attendance regularization requests with manager approval

Attendance Module in HRMS: What It Does
An attendance module in HRMS is the part of your HR platform that records when employees work and turns those check-ins into records HR and payroll can rely on. Because it sits inside the HRMS rather than beside it, it already knows each employee's shift, location and leave, so HR doesn't export punch data and match it up by hand.
In Manitham HRMS, the same attendance record also connects to leave management and payroll, so an approved leave day isn't flagged as an absence and hours worked don't need to be re-entered at month end.
- Captures check-ins from biometric devices, mobile GPS and web punch-in
- Works from the employee records and shift assignments already in the HRMS
- Compares check-in and check-out against shift timings to flag late marks and overtime
- Reflects approved leave so leave days aren't treated as absences
- Sends attendance corrections to the reporting manager for approval
- Passes attendance data into payroll without re-entering hours
- Gives HR daily, weekly and monthly reports by team, location or individual

FAQ

Does it support GPS attendance for field staff?
Yes. Field and site employees can check in from their phone, with their location captured at the time of check-in.
Can employees mark attendance from a browser?
Yes, employees without biometric or GPS requirements can check in through a simple web-based punch-in.
Does the system calculate overtime automatically?
