In short

The HR Nova.ai attendance management system collects attendance from biometric devices, the mobile app or manual entry, applies your shift, grace period and deduction rules, and passes the result straight to payroll. Late arrivals, half days and missing punches follow rules you set, with manager waivers and a full audit trail.

01 /In focus

What is an attendance management system?

An attendance management system records when employees start and finish work, compares it with their shifts, and calculates lateness, absence and overtime for payroll.

02 /Key features

What you get

01

Biometric, mobile or manual

Connect fingerprint and face recognition devices, let field staff mark attendance on the Android app, or record it manually where needed.

02

Shifts and rotations

Plan fixed, rotating and night shifts, assign them by team or person, and track work-from-home quotas.

03

Rules that match your policy

Set a grace period before lateness counts, choose rounding to a quarter, half or full day, and decide how late-ins, early-outs, half days, unapproved absences and missing punches affect pay. One monthly cap limits total deductions, and managers can waive a deduction with a logged reason.

04

Overtime and on-call

Verified extra hours can become overtime pay or comp-off leave. On-call hours are approved by the manager and paid at your rate.

Common questions

Can't find your answer? Browse every question or contact us.

01Which biometric devices work with HR Nova.ai?

HR Nova.ai integrates with common biometric attendance devices.

02How are attendance deductions calculated?

The deduction is the daily salary (monthly salary divided by your chosen divisor) multiplied by unpaid days. Grace periods and rounding are applied first.

03Can employees fix a missing punch?

Yes. They raise a request in the app and their manager approves it.

04Can managers waive a deduction?

Yes, with a reason that is saved in the audit log.

Human-approved AI

AI drafts. A named person approves.

Nothing touches pay, ratings or an employee file until a named person signs off, and every approval is logged with their name and the date.
