DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTERIZED BIOMETRIC EMPLOYEE CLOCKING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

Clocking systems are time system used in any firm to accurately record the number of hours worked by each staff or the work force of an employee on daily basics. Attendance in an organization is important to ensure the continuous operation. Aiming at the disadvantages of traditional punch card attendance system, an Integrated Employee Clocking System is proposed. Employee Clocking is a system used to record the present of staffs to work. It provides a customization option of using 1 input device: fingerprint technology. Rapid Application Development (RAD) is used as it gives much faster development process which will guarantee the punctuality of the system delivery. The methodology adopted for this project is the Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM). This system allows the workers to take attendance, view their user profile and also attendance, while the manager can view workers’ attendance, managing workers’ information and generating attendance report. The software for this project is designed using Visual Studio 2010 as it development environment, C#.NET and Digital Persona U.are.U Biometric SDK.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Computerized biometric employee clocking systems have been used for more than two decades for managing time and employee attendance in organizations. Biometrics based time management attendance systems with enhanced features have been developed. Organizations are increasingly operating in dynamic conditions. Human resources form a large part of the costs that organizations have to incur[1]. Computerized employee clocking systems that use biometrics offer an effective means of addressing time management by linking individuals to their personal human resource records and computerized employee clocking systems that incorporate biometrics that have the ability to accurately capture real time labour data. The use of computerized biometric employee clocking systems is widespread and growing rapidly with many organizations adopting them due to their ability of enhancing employee productivity. Biometric technology can help in accurately tracking employee time and attendance, which can assist in preventing time theft by ensuring that employees arrive at the work place on time and leave at the right time after duty. Employee job satisfaction can be improved when workers feel that their efforts are recognized through balanced workload.

The computerized biometric employee clocking system maintains the attendance time of workers such that those who work extra hours are compensated through overtime pay. Employee attendance timing, employee identification and pay computation are crucial aspects in ensuring that organizations achieve their set operational performance levels. Employee attendance has a direct influence on operational performance of an organization. Employees are expected to attend to their duties as scheduled at the organization to enhance operational performance[2]. Employee identification is important in ensuring that the actual employee attends to duty. Where employee identification is not done effectively employees who are expected to be on duty may fail to report and their colleagues sign for them if manual attendance registers are used instead of the computerized biometric clocking system. Computerized biometric employee clocking system is an automated process that verifies workers identity and captures employee traits with high speed (in one second or less) with high levels of accuracy. Computerized biometric employee clocking systems that are well managed are crucial in the overall performance of any organization[3]. An effective computerized biometric system should address attendance timing, employee identification, and payroll computation. An effectively implemented computerized employee clocking system should lead to more accurate employee attendance records, eliminate the practice where employee clock in and out for their colleagues ‘buddy punching’, more authentic identification of workers, and more accurate payroll computation for workers, which leads to happier and productive employees.
