Checking on Worker Attendance in Malaysia Palm Garden

Background
Palm oil production is vital for the economy of Malaysia, which is the world's second-largest producer of the commodity after Indonesia. As the scale of palm plantation is large as well as the number of hired laborers is huge, traditional manual time and attendance management often results in many problems, like employees taking long lunch breaks without clocking out, clocking in but never coming to work, or they calling their buddies to punch for them. Time and attendance tracking has become the hardest and costliest part of operating the palm garden.
 
Challenges

• The Palm Garden is a large open working area, making the management of workers much more difficult.
• As they almost come to or get off work in the same time period, manual clocking-in and clocking-out wasted a lot of time.
• A large number of the employees are paid hourly, making it complex to record their working hours.
• There is no automatic system other than a paper time sheet where the employees would put in their start times, and their meal breaks. When the HR do payroll each month, they spend a lot of time tracking down time sheets, some of which they couldn't even read.

• Gone are the days of employees using paper time sheets or traditional punch clocks to record when they start and end their days. This automatic attendance system ensures that workers are present to fulfill their duty.
• Wireless transmission technology eliminates manual recording and re-typing information on a fixed computer. Productivity and accuracy has been enhanced.
• With great portability and mobility, attendance is not subject to location constraints.
• It minimizes payroll processing time and eliminates payroll errors. Employees have no doubt about the accuracy of their paychecks so that their working enthusiasm has been inspired.
