hand held terminal for taking attendance and bring the HHT to office. This is a common “remote
sites’ related Time & Attendance problem; TAS2000 has powerful features to handle such issues.
How can we get attendance time, overtime etc of workers in different sites (projects) separately?
Let each project be defined as a cost-centre and ensure that workers have correct cost centre.
As it happens in any typical construction company, we have several sites (we call them projects)
where majority of employees go to same project every day. However there are some employees
who are transferred from one place to another. Do we have to manually change the cost centre of
such employees on daily basis? It is not easy to track such employees.
TAS2000 has a feature that links a reader to a cost centre. Use this feature to automatically change
the cost centre of an employee. The last reader that the employee marks his attendance on is used
to determine his cost centre for that day.
The different construction sites may not have same working hours. When workers are transferred
from one site to another, can their shift timings be handled automatically?
Yes, the readers can also be linked to a particular shift (in addition to cost centre)
Some HO employees like from HR, Accounts, Audit department may go to the site and at end of
day, mark their OUT in the site reader itself. But we do not want their attendance to be seen under
that project. How can that be done?
There is an over-ride facility in employee master for such employees and their cost centre will not
be taken from the reader.
Is it necessary that data from all readers be transferred before posting data?
This restriction applies for version FA9.8 and before. It is removed in version FA.9.
How can we force system to calculate hours worked starting from day’s scheduled start time or
later if the employee comes late? We want this because many employees come too much in
advance and mark their attendance which leads to wrong hours worked?
Use “Ignore Early In Duration” option in configuration and select “Ignore First Early IN
Duration”. The time ignored will be added to Auto Deduction. Don’t use it with job costing.
For monthly summary reports, we want hours to be converted to days as 0, 0.5 and 1 respectively
if an employee works for less that 2 hours, 2 or more hours but less than 6 hours and 6 or more
hours out of the 8 hours he is supposed to work in a day?
In the “Hours to Day Logic (0/0.5/1)” option of configuration, enter 0.25,0.75 to achieve this.
