Attendance
MeraUdyog Attendance captures time and presence for desk-based and field staff alike: mobile GPS check-in with selfie verification and geo-fencing, biometric and web check-in, shift and roster planning, and regularisation workflows, feeding Payroll automatically.
Why it matters
Attendance fraud is not a discipline problem, it is a capture problem. Selfie verification stops proxy punching, geo-fencing stops off-site check-ins, and GPS capture gives field teams an accurate option that a fixed biometric device never could.
Because Attendance shares one data core with every other module, the work it produces is immediately usable everywhere else: scoped by branch, center and owner, visible in Analytics, and available to Workflow Automation as a trigger.
Nagpur runs 3x the absenteeism of the network average. Escalated to the branch manager.

What each capability does. And the problem it removes.
Features are only worth listing if the business problem behind them is named.
| Feature | What it does | Problem solved | Business benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile GPS Attendance | Marks attendance with location capture | Field staff cannot use a fixed biometric device | Accurate remote and field attendance |
| Selfie / Photo Verification | Requires photo proof at check-in | Buddy punching and proxy attendance | Prevents attendance fraud outright |
| Geo-Fencing | Restricts check-in to a defined location radius | Employees mark attendance from anywhere | Ensures genuine on-site presence |
| Biometric / Web Check-in | Fixed-location attendance capture | Manual registers are error-prone and easily gamed | Reliable, tamper-resistant attendance |
| Shift Management | Defines and assigns work shifts | Manual shift planning in spreadsheets | Organised, conflict-free scheduling |
| Roster Planning | Plans staff schedules across periods | Last-minute staffing gaps | Predictable coverage, published in advance |
| Regularization Requests | Lets employees request a correction to their record | Genuine errors go uncorrected and become disputes | A fair, documented correction process |
| Late / Early / Absent Flags | Auto-flags attendance exceptions | Manual review of every record is slow | A daily exceptions list, generated automatically |
| Branch-wise Reports | Attendance summaries by location | No comparative visibility across sites | One branch's 3x absenteeism becomes visible |
| Individual Attendance Trends | Long-term pattern per employee | Chronic issues invisible in the daily view | Recurring Monday absences get flagged early |
| Attendance-to-Payroll Reports | Ties attendance directly to pay impact | Unclear how attendance affected a payout | Transparency for employees and HR alike |

Use cases
Three ways teams put Attendance to work in week one.
Employee attendance via GPS and selfie verification
A field engineer checks in at a job site with a location-stamped selfie, which is both an accurate record and a deterrent no register can match.
Shift roster planning for multi-branch staff
Weekly rosters are published in advance per branch, so support and reception coverage stops depending on WhatsApp coordination the night before.
Attendance regularisation request handling
A missed check-in becomes a documented request and approval rather than an argument at month-end.

Attendance FAQs
Three layers. Selfie or photo verification at check-in makes proxy punching visibly obvious. Geo-fencing blocks check-in outside a defined radius of the branch or site. GPS capture records where a field check-in actually happened. Together they close the gaps that manual registers and shared biometric devices leave open.
Yes. This is what the mobile app is for. Field employees check in from the client site or job location with GPS and selfie capture, and offline data capture means a rural visit still records and syncs once connectivity returns.
Yes. Attendance feeds Payroll runs on the same data core, so late marks and absences adjust pay without a manual upload. An attendance-to-payroll report then shows the deduction reason per employee, which is what stops the month-end disputes.
