Dear All,
I am an HR professional at a company with 50 employees, and I lead the department. Currently, we do not have a punching card system in place to track the In and Out times of employees. The main issue with implementing this system is the potential for malpractices among employees. They could misuse the system by carrying their colleagues' cards and punching in for them, even if they arrive late or leave early.
I am seeking alternative solutions for tracking employee attendance that do not involve a punching card system. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Mini

You can use the biometric machine. It has 2 options available in it. Punching Cards and Thumb Impression. You can use thumb impression to avoid misuse.

Thank you, Naveen, Syed, and Vithica, for your kind replies.
Yes, we are planning to have a biometric machine from the end of August as we are shifting to a new building and increasing the team size. However, for the remaining two months, I need to have some other solution!

Dear Mini,
You have implemented a signature register at the security gate where all employees are required to sign in and out in the presence of security personnel. I would like you to establish a policy concerning the timing of clocking in and out. This policy should specify a designated time limit for clocking in; any arrivals after this time may be considered as half-day absences. Similarly, employees who leave early may also be marked as half-day absentees.

Mr. Sathish is absolutely right. You can use only thumb impression punching system to track in or out time. In that case no body can show presence of other employee.

Dear Mini Goyal,
In reference to your query, don't go for any punching card system; opt for a Biometric Finger scan system instead. It will help you greatly in controlling employees, as there will be no chance of malpractices.

What sort of business is your company in? Can you shift to a piece-rate system? What is really important is whether the employee is completing the work assigned to him in the assigned time or before the assigned time. You need to develop KRA accordingly. These "in...out" serves the purpose at a security agency kind of business where presence is the crux. Please decide by yourself if your company is attendance-driven or work-driven.

All of a sudden, you cannot change the entire system. It is cost-effective to install one CCTV camera near the swiping machine to find out one case of malpractice and initiate disciplinary action against the perpetrator. This way, indirectly, everyone will be deterred from engaging in such activities since the CCTV surveillance camera can easily identify malpractice.
I am sure you can control it this way.
