Registration of employee’s working time

Introduction

The document presents the mechanism for recording employee attendance using information cards and the AMAGE mobile application in attendance recorder mode. The mobile application allows you to quickly and conveniently register employee attendance, as well as view registration history.

Attendance registrations

A mobile device with the AMAGE application allows for quick and convenient registration of employee attendance. Just scan the employee’s information card and the system will register his or her presence. In case of an incorrect reading, registration may be canceled. The application also allows you to view the registration history and change the registration mode to exit.

We mount the device in the place where employees will register in such a way that the device screen is visible to the employee. The employee brings the information card to the device’s NFC reader and the system will register his or her presence. In the AMAGE shell application, we enable continuous screen display to make the application available to employees. This configuration of the device allows for any and quick setup of an attendance recording station, either on a construction site or in any other workplace.

In the AMAGE mobile application, we enable the attendance registration mode.

We can check the employee’s registration history at any time. To do this, press the button with the hourglass icon, i.e. History. The system will display a list of all employee registrations along with the date and time of registration. This makes it easier to verify whether a given person has registered in the system.
