hi jyoti
hope u can certainly have some register at the entrance of ur organization where the people can mark their attendance. if this doesn't work you can also issue some sort of monthly slips to them so that every day the slip has to be put in the attendance box which contains his employee id and attendance can be maintained.
hope a small stone in the ocean.
with warm regards

Hi Jyothi
Ya . According to your Company's investment restrictions, Mr. Jayavel's point is the best and basic way of monitoring. the mojor hiccup is huge no. of employees. instead of huge investment on software why cant you look for low investment bar code readers, which are available cheap in market. anyway ur employees would be having company ID cards. you can add just a coded strip on to that. reader can be placed at a convienent loc near entrance, once an employee passes he has to just show his card to that reader.
hope it would be useful. :D

Hi Jyoti,
This seems to be tediuos task, however since your headcount is not equilibrated and work/ time involed would be really mundane, you can either inform the security team to give u an update on attedance on weekly basis. This would be time consuming but not for you and if its managable uniformly, you can excel. I would also suggest that every month in the paysheet there is a record of leave balance for you to track ti on a month on month basis.
I am in a better postiion since i do handle payroll and compensation and we have an effective system to track such records, incase you require more info do let me know.
Thanks.

To keep better time - keeping you may please purchase manual attendance recorder (Watch) and Attendance card which may be punch in time recorder. It costs little and u may get exact attendance without manupulation. The cards may & recorder may be kept at Security or Time Office section.
For leave balance record you may use leave register for balance updation on monthly basis. The pay - slips may be issued to employees for the information of employees and compliance of law.

I don't know the organizational structure, but I would recommend that the person responsible for the lowest level (front line supervisor) keep track of attendance of employees assigned to them, (s)he will then pass that information along to his/her boss [or designee] (the department superintendent) who will coordinate the information from all his/her reports and forward to HR.
Keeping track of Supervsiors, Managers, Department Heads and Staff would require a "weekly calendar" to be completed and returned to HR no later than Friday by 2:00PM.
All requests for Leave should be submitted through the individual's supervisor (in order that (s)he is aware of who will be on authorized absence and would then be in a position to make appropriate adjustments) to HR no later than two (2) weeks prior to the start of Leave.
I also like Kongi's suggestions.

Wow your situation sounds exactly like mine 2 years ago.
In the end we did the math, and employing someone to manage this in the end was just as expensive as getting the software to oversee all our time attendance scheduling needs. Infact we employed two HR anaylsts at one point which in total cost us £48,000 a year.
There are a few good software firms out there that make decent programs, we ended up trialing about 20 pieces of software, but ended up using something called rota horizon from www.thinking-software.com.
I hope this helps you, I am new to this forum thing.

Hi I think you can give a leave card to all the employees, end of the day the team leaders/ reporting boss signs on them before they leave. a small card will solve your problem I guess Regards vikram
