Timekeeping

Welcome to Citicon Payroll and Accounting Systems Configuration for Timekeeping under the Attendance submodule of the Payroll & HR module. This section captures employee clock-in and clock-out records, serving as the foundation for calculating work hours, absences, and payroll accuracy.

Effective timekeeping ensures that employee attendance is tracked precisely, promoting transparency, accountability, and compliance with company policies.


Key Purposes

  2. Support Multiple Approval Levels: Monitor the approval workflow by tracking each entry’s level of review and authorization for secure validation.
  3. Enable Bulk Import of Entries: Simplify data handling by allowing batch imports of timekeeping records from biometric devices or external sources.
  4. Promote Accurate Payroll Calculations: Ensure payroll reflects actual hours worked by integrating approved time entries directly into salary computations.
  5. Streamline Attendance Audits: Provide a reliable history of time records for auditing, dispute resolution, and performance reviews.
