Welcome to AlignBooks. We are happy to have you on board. In this help studio tutorial, we will explore the Monthly Attendance preparation Option.
Before we begin, let us understand about the need of Monthly Attendance and the usage of this particular activity.
Employee Attendance tracking is an extremely laborious and tedious task. This created a need for employee attendance software, which allows the organization to create a paperless employee check-in / check-out system. It also helps in combining real-time employee time and attendance data, which in turn results in minimizing the costs and improving efficiencies.
You can also edit and delete an already created set of information with required authorization.
The key functions of a Monthly Attendance Module are:
Process of a Employee Monthly Attendance Record;
Display of an existing Employee Monthly Attendance Record;
We will be going through the each of these set of information in detail.
