ABSTRACT
Human beings are constantly confronted
with change because their current situation is continually being questioned. In
order to change the way humans behave, it is necessary to change the mind-set
of those who will be influenced by new ideas. Cross River University of
Technology faces a dilemma because the current management of its employee
attendance is having a negative impact on its daily operations – service
delivery is becoming an increasingly serious concern because the inability to
manage employees’ daily attendance results in inefficient and ineffective
rendering of services to citizens. This research addresses the question of
whether the change from a manual attendance register to a biometric time and
attendance system would more effectively ensure the availability of Cross River
University of Technology employees to improve basic service delivery. Moreover,
the Cross River University of Technology faces concerns the monitoring of
employees on a daily basis, including the availability of an attendance
register for audit purposes. It was established that the use of the manual
attendance register caused certain problems, although it has served a monitoring
purpose for more than 10 years. Some respondents requested the implementation
of an electronic system with real-time capability to remove any doubt
concerning the confirmation of employee attendance.

Introduction
1.1 Background of Study
Time and attendance systems (TNA) are
used to track and monitor when employees start and stop work. A time and attendance
system enables an employer to monitor their employees working hours and late
arrivals, early departures, time taken on breaks and absenteeism.[1] It also
helps to control labor costs by reducing over-payments, which are often caused
by paying employees for time that are not working, and eliminates transcription
error, interpretation error and intentional error. TNA systems can also be used
to ensure compliance with labor regulations regarding proof of attendance. Traditionally
manual systems were used that rely on paper cards which have times stamped onto
them using a time stamping machine. Such machines were used for over a century
but have since been phased out and replaced with cheaper automated systems
which eliminate the need for payroll staff to manually input employee hours. Modern
automated time and attendance systems require employees to touch or swipe to
identify themselves and record their working hours as they enter or leave the
work area. Originally this consisted of using a RFID electronic tag or a
barcode badge but these have been replaced by biometrics (vein reader, hand
geometry, fingerprint, or facial recognition), and touch screens devices.
