Employee time tracking auto-collection and report generation

Purpose

1. Automate the collection of employee work hours in auto auction operations for compliance, payroll, and auditing.

2. Automate time data ingestion from disparate sources (physical kiosks, web logins, geo-tagged mobile apps).

3. Enable automated timesheet reconciliation, overtime flagging, late/early reporting, and absenteeism tracking.

4. Automate corporate-wide aggregation of workforce time logs with automated report generation for HR, finance, and regulatory needs.

5. Automate notifications for missing punches, exceptions, and approvals to optimize auto auction staff management.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automatedly triggered when a new employee clock-in or clock-out event is registered across platforms.

2. Automate upon reaching the end of payroll period (e.g., every Friday at 5pm).

3. Automated when employee timesheet modifications or corrections are logged.

4. Automate on deviation from scheduled hours (late arrival, early departure, over/under schedule).

5. Automated approval/denial of overtime or hours adjustments by managers.
