FAQ

Attendance questions, answered

Everything you need to know about an Attendance Management System in India.

What biometric devices does your Biometric Attendance System support?
We support integration with major biometric devices depending on compatibility and configuration, including fingerprint and face recognition-based systems. Support for specific devices depends on deployment requirements and technical integration feasibility.
How does geo-fencing work for mobile attendance?
Geo-fencing allows organizations to define virtual boundaries around approved work locations such as offices, plants, or client sites. Employees can mark attendance through the mobile app only within these defined locations using GPS-based validation.
Can our Attendance Management System in India manage multiple shifts and locations?
Yes. The system supports multiple shift patterns, rotational schedules, and attendance tracking across different locations. Organizations can configure shift rules, rosters, and attendance policies based on their operational structure.
How is overtime calculated for Indian operations?
Overtime is calculated based on configurable rules defined by the organization, such as daily, weekly, or monthly thresholds. These rules can be set according to company policies and attendance structures.
Does your Employee Attendance Management System work for WFH and hybrid employees?
Yes. Employees can mark attendance through mobile or web check-ins as per configured policies. GPS-based validation, IP restrictions, or selfie-based verification can be allowed depending on organizational requirements.
How does your Attendance Management Software sync with payroll software?
Attendance data is processed based on configured rules such as LOP, overtime, late marks, and regularization. This processed data is then made available for payroll calculation and salary processing.
Can employees request attendance regularization?
Yes. Employees can submit missed punch or correction requests through the mobile app. These requests are reviewed and approved or rejected by managers, with a complete audit trail maintained.
How quickly can we go live with your Attendance Management System in India?
Implementation timelines vary based on organizational size, configurations, and integration requirements. The setup is typically completed in a phased manner depending on the deployment scope.
How is your Attendance Management Software better than Keka, GreytHR, Zoho People, Darwinbox, or HROne?
factoHR India provides a unified attendance system with configurable policies, multi-location support, biometric and mobile attendance options, and integrated payroll processing designed for Indian business requirements.
Can we migrate from an existing Biometric Attendance System without losing historical data?
Yes. Historical attendance data can be migrated based on available formats and system compatibility during the implementation process.
What is the actual setup cost beyond the per-employee fee?
Setup costs may vary depending on implementation scope, integrations, and customization requirements. The final cost is determined based on organizational needs.
Where are biometric and attendance data hosted, and how are they secured?
Data is stored in a secure environment with access-controlled systems and standard enterprise security practices, depending on the deployment configuration.
Does the platform support contract labour and gig worker attendance?
Yes. The system can be configured to manage attendance for contract and gig workers based on organizational attendance policies.
How does your AI-Powered Facial Recognition Attendance help reduce buddy punching and proxy attendance?
It allows identity-based verification during check-ins using facial recognition, helping improve attendance accuracy and reduce proxy attendance risks.
