Introduction
TAS2000 (Time & Attendance System) provides following facilities and benefits.
1. Employees mark their attendance electronically, using a method like fingerprint, magnetic
card, proximity card, barcode reader, or even computer screen itself. This speeds up
attendance related activity (typically 2-8 seconds per employee depending on terminal type).
2. Recurring effort on maintaining punch cards and associated cost is eliminated.
3. An employee’s presence / absence can be known instantly.
4. Normal and overtime hours are calculated automatically.
5. Total hours (Normal, Holidays, OT, sick) worked from the beginning of the month are
available.
6. Monthly attendance data is available immediately after the last day’s activity of the month are
over, which can be used in payroll.
Overall, the system significantly improves the availability and timeliness of information, which
has the effect of improving quality and efficiency of the organization.
TAS2000 records employees’ IN / OUT time through scanners (or manual entry as in evaluation)
into a computer and provides facilities for improved controls and quicker reports for management.
It also provides monthly attendance data to the accounts department for payroll processing.
Totally six scans – 3 INs and 3 OUTs are possible for every employee each day for the purpose of
attendance.
We have provided a manual interface for evaluation sake to mark attendance (which may also
serve the purpose of a small company with up to 9 employees). In normal case each employee is
provided with a card which he swipes in a bar-code / magnetic / proximity reader. The Card
Reader scans the card and transmits data to the computer, where it is stored and processed.
After downloading evaluation from Internet or from the Evaluation CD, install TAS2000 in
C:\PROGRAM FILES\TAS2KSQL folder (do not install anywhere else) and follow steps
mentioned in Getting Started.
