Companies legally need to give staff holiday time and attendance systems allow companies to monitor how much holiday staff have taken. If a member of staff has multiple sickness days then these can be recorded and passed on to an occupational health specialist or the HR department if a serious problem arises.

The data capture device then sends real time information to an Internet server which records the time an employee has been at work. A password is needed to log on to the system and check the information. Different parameters can be set up to incorporate flexitime, attendance requirements, national holidays and specifics which are relevant to individual companies. Employees can also view their attendance so they can quickly find out how many lieu hours they’re owed or how many holiday days they have remaining.
