Biometric Attendance
Biometric Attendance is a powerful feature built to streamline and secure employee attendance tracking within your organization. Leveraging advanced biometric technology integrated with the ZKTeco machine, this module delivers accurate, real-time attendance data, eliminating the inefficiencies of manual entry or traditional card-based systems. With automated clock-in/clock-out detection, detailed punch logs, and seamless API-based sync, it equips HR and admin teams with everything they need for precise workforce management. Additionally, if an employee records multiple entries in a single day, the system automatically considers the first entry as the clock-in time and the last entry as the clock-out time.
Note: The biometric attendance system is compatible only with the ZKTeco machine. To use this module, ensure that the API supports the ZKTeco machine. You can refer to the ZKBioTime API Documentation for more details.
You can only use this module if the API supports the ZKteco Machine. Follow this ZKBioTime API for API Documentation: https://www.zkteco.com/en/ZKBioTime_API
