Digital time tracking and attendance logs

Purpose

1. To automate digital time tracking and attendance logs for registered nurses, thereby automating the manual entry and recording of work hours, shift patterns, overtime, break times, and location-based check-in/out, ensuring accurate payroll, compliance with regulatory standards, and optimizing staff scheduling in healthcare environments.

2. Automate attendance data capture, digitalized reporting, leave management, and seamless integration with HR/payroll systems.

3. Enhance visibility, accountability, and operational efficiency in nurse scheduling management through automated tracking systems.

Trigger Conditions

1. Shift start/end detected via digital clocks, mobile app punch-in/out, or biometric scan.

2. Geofencing triggers—automating check-in based on entering/exiting facility boundaries.

3. Automated holiday/leave requests submitted by staff.

4. API calls from HR or scheduling platforms, e.g., new shift assignment or roster update.

5. Exception detection such as late arrival, missed shift, or early departure logged automatically.
