Time and Attendance

Time Attendance Registration Saves Money in Every Company!

The time and attendance registration system BIOFINGER-T&A and BIOFINGER-T&A/PHOTO is a proven and effective way to:

• discipline employees

• reliably account for working hours

• account for break times

• maintain electronic records of employee attendance

• maintain electronic records of business and private outings

• account for lateness and early departures from work

• account for night and holiday hours

• account for overtime

• remotely register T&A statuses using a smartphone

The T&A system must be professional, stable in operation, and of Polish production. The time attendance accounting program must offer various options for simple or advanced configuration of time accounting and be compliant with current Labour Code regulations.

Our proprietary system BIOFINGER-ACS/T&A was designed and created by a small team of engineers from Gdańsk. For the past 20 years, we have been continuously monitoring and analyzing new ideas and expectations from various employers.

Until today, we have delivered to our clients for self-installation or comprehensively implemented approximately 500 different projects related to the BIOFINGER-T&A, BIOFINGER-T&A/PHOTO, and BIOFINGER-ACS systems. Implementing the BIOFINGER-T&A or BIOFINGER-T&A/PHOTO system in your company will certainly significantly contribute to effective cost optimization related to employment and employees.
We operate throughout Poland.

Our solutions are used by small, medium, and large companies employing from 20 to even 1500 people. In most cases, the T&A system consists of one or two time attendance recorders for proximity cards or fingerprints. We also have clients where approximately 60 terminals are used for access control and time attendance in the BIOFINGER-ACS/T&A system.

It is worth noting that every fingerprint or proximity card time attendance system differs slightly, as our clients, i.e., employers, have their own expectations regarding time accounting and employee attendance records.

The BIOFINGER-T&A system is not complicated for employees to use, nor for the operator of the BIOFINGER/SW program, which is the person responsible for time accounting.

Avoid cheap time attendance recorders from Allegro

In the past, we have had several cases where Customers returned to us because a cheap and low-quality time attendance reader bought on Allegro stopped working after 12 months or they were not satisfied with the translated Chinese time attendance calculation program.

Methods of user authentication in the BIOFINGER-T&A system

Depending on the choice of the time attendance recorder, users of the BIOFINGER-T&A and BIOFINGER-T&A/FOTO system can authenticate themselves, i.e., record their work time (T&A statuses) using:

• fingerprints

• RFID proximity card

• RFID proximity key fob

• PIN code

Choosing the number of T&A statuses on the time attendance recorder

Each time attendance recorder has 6 programmable functional buttons:

F1 » Start work time [ Start T&A ]
F2 » End work time [ End T&A ]
F3 » Business out
F4 » Business return
F5 » Private out
F6 » Private return

In the order fulfillment process, after consultation with our Customer, we can program the time attendance recorder in the following ways:

F1 » Start work time [ Start T&A ]
F2 » End work time [ End T&A ]
   or
F1 » Start work time [ Start T&A ]
F2 » End work time [ End T&A ]
F3 » Business out
F4 » Business return
   or
F1 » Start work time [ Start T&A ]
F2 » End work time [ End T&A ]
F3 » Private out
F4 » Private return
   or
F1 » Start work time [ Start T&A ]
F2 » End work time [ End T&A ]
F3 » Business out
F4 » Business return
F5 » Private out
F6 » Private return

If an employer is undecided about which solution to choose, from our experience, we suggest 6 statuses on the T&A reader.

For employers who intend to monitor and additionally account for time spent on breaks at work, the functional buttons on the time attendance recorder are programmed as follows:
F1 » Start work time [ Start T&A ]
F2 » End work time [ End T&A ]
F3 » Break out
F4 » Break return

Subsequently, in the BIOFINGER/SW program, the program operator enters the break time, and if an employee exceeds the set break time, the excess time is subtracted from the credited work time.

In the case of work time registration without the need for employees to press functional buttons [F1] and [F2], you can:

• purchase two time attendance recorders – one for 'entry' and the other for 'exit'

   or

• program the time attendance recorder to automatically switch statuses [F1] and [F2] within a set time range

Time attendance readers store up to 200,000 records/events in internal memory. After exceeding the permissible value in the BIOFINGER-T&A system, old T&A records are overwritten by new ones. Regular downloading and removing of records from the memory of T&A readers by the BIOFINGER/SW program operator prevent any issues.

Employee Use of the Time Attendance Recorder or Photo Time Attendance Recorder

In practice, an employee arrives at work at 8:00 am, presses the [F1] (Start T&A/Start work time) button, brings the card/key fob close or places the finger on the fingerprint scanner, and goes to perform their tasks. Then at 4:00 pm, the employee presses the [F2] (End T&A/End work time) button, brings the card/key fob close or places the finger on the fingerprint scanner, and leaves for home.
If the employer expects employees to also register work-related exits and private exits during work, the time attendance reader should be programmed with 6 functional buttons.

When using photo time attendance recorders with a camera operating in the BIOFINGER-T&A/FOTO system, the employee authentication process remains the same. When an employee arrives at work or finishes work, they press the corresponding functional button and bring the card/key fob close or place the finger on the fingerprint scanner. With each authorization, the built-in camera in the photo time attendance recorder takes a picture, which is saved in the device's internal memory.
For verification of problematic situations, the BIOFINGER/SW program operator can retrieve photos from the memory of the photo time attendance recorder and review the T&A events with the associated photos.

Determining the Number of Time Attendance Recorders

All offered T&A time attendance recorders should be installed only in enclosed spaces. An T&A recorder must not be exposed to external atmospheric factors.
The appropriate number of time attendance recorders is chosen based on the number of:

• employees

• areas where employees are present

• entry points or zones in facilities

Each facility should be equipped with a minimum of one time attendance recorder.
It is generally accepted that one time attendance recorder is required for every 50-100 employees. If queues form at the time attendance recorder, an additional reader can always be purchased and installed in a different location. Up to 99 time attendance readers can be connected to the BIOFINGER-ACS/T&A system for the purpose of time attendance registration and access control.

All time attendance recorders or photo recorders with a camera should be connected to a local LAN computer network. Remote connection to the time attendance recorder via the Internet (WAN) is possible. Optionally, the time attendance recorder can be equipped with an additional WiFi module, but wireless WiFi communication is not an ideal method of communication between the time attendance recorder and a PC/laptop. In case of challenging technical conditions (external interferences), constant or transient issues with wireless data transmission may occur.

Access Control and Time Attendance Accounting Combined

Under suitable conditions (single passage) and with the right choice of readers for access control purposes, we can additionally achieve time attendance recording and accounting.

This dual functionality takes place when proximity card readers are installed at the entry and exit points of a company, automatically recording the start and end times of work. With this setup, there is no possibility to register work-related/private entries/exits. Access control readers do not have functional buttons [F1-F6].

Other Capabilities of the BIOFINGER-ACS/T&A System

The BIOFINGER-ACS/T&A system also offers many other functionalities, such as:

• mobile time attendance recorder BIOFINGER-T&A/MOBILE designed for outdoor work environments

• photo time attendance recording BIOFINGER-T&A/FOTO, where during employee authentication with a proximity card or finger, the photo recorder additionally takes a picture and stores it in the device's internal memory

• can also be expanded with biometric or traditional readers for access control purposes

Information on all functionalities of the BIOFINGER-ACS/T&A system can be found here
(excluding UHF long-range ACS system).
