Attendance Management System in Bangladesh

EMPRESS HR is an attendance management system made in Dhaka by Azolution Software & Engineers Ltd. It collects punches from access-control devices, from the web and from the Empress ESS mobile app, applies your shifts and rosters, and sends the result to payroll. It works for one office or for a group with many companies and locations.

How attendance is recorded

• Devices. Employees sign in at access-control devices with a fingerprint, a card or a password. One person has one ID.
• Web. Employees can sign in from the browser, with an office time check at login and logout.
• Mobile. The Empress ESS app records a GPS punch inside an allowed radius, with a face photo, from a phone that is bound to the employee.

The Empress Time Attendance Service collects data from the devices on its own. A second service fetches punches that were missed, and a third processes and reprocesses attendance, so nobody has to import files by hand.

Shifts and duty rosters

• General, morning, evening and night shifts, each with grace time in and out.
• Office start and end time for each weekday, and a weekly holiday for each shift.
• Government and other holidays, and monthly special days off such as the first, last, odd or even Saturday.
• Flexible office hours, and policy-based general and rolling shifts.
• Group enrolment to a shift policy, and a monthly roster process by business unit or location.

Late arrival, short leave and overtime

EMPRESS HR sends late and short-leave notifications and can deduct forced leave under your policy. Overtime is calculated from the punches, which protects against overtime abuse. Employees ask for an attendance adjustment through a workflow, and the approver sees it in a pending list.

Movement and field work

Client visits and business movements go through a workflow, and conveyance claims are linked to the movement: no movement, no conveyance. Onsite deployment at a client has its own approval.

What managers see

• Today's attendance summary by organisation.
• A monthly attendance summary for each employee.
• Pending lists for approvers, recommenders and line managers.
• Today's attendance for the front desk.

From attendance to payroll

At month end, attendance, leave and overtime are closed together and passed to payroll. Read more about payroll software and leave management.

Questions about attendance

Which attendance devices does EMPRESS HR work with?

It reads access-control devices that use a fingerprint, a card or a password. Tell us the make and model you have and we will confirm it before a demo.

Can field staff punch from a phone?

Yes. Empress ESS records a GPS punch with a face photo. Radius binding limits where a punch is accepted, and device binding ties the app to one phone.

Can each location have its own shifts and holidays?

Yes. Every company and location in a group has its own settings, rosters and holidays in the same system.

What if a punch is missing?

The Empress Missing Attendance Service fetches it from the device. If it is still missing, the employee applies for an adjustment and the manager approves it.

Which edition includes attendance?

Attendance management is in every edition: Compact, Standard and Enterprise. See the editions.
