calculation of employees whereas Time Booking is the
reporting of each worker’s time for each job and department
for cost analysis and dividing labour cost into various
jobs and departments. The main functions of time keeping
department are as follows:
1. To maintain discipline, regularly and punctuality
in the factory.
2. Meeting the statutory requirements.

time basis.
4. To record the arrival and departure time of
labourers for making distinction between normal time,
overtime, delay in attendance and early leaving.

the factory.

3. Having control over wastage of time – idle time
