1. What is an attendance management system?

A attendance management systemattendance management system is a solution — usually technology-based — developed to record, track and analyze the attendance, punctuality, absences, vacations and working hours of a company’s employees. This type of system may include recording devices such as time clocks biometric devices, RFID cards, mobile applications or online platforms, which collect and centralize data in real time.

Through this information, companies can have a clear and up-to-date view of employee attendance performance, facilitating the effective management of entry and exit times, breaks, overtime and shifts. In addition, it allows you to automate administrative tasks, such as payroll or managing work shifts and days off.

In addition to operational efficiency, a attendance management system also helps ensure compliance with current labor laws, promoting transparency and fairness in the treatment of employees. With analysis and reporting tools, managers can make more informed decisions, optimize human resources and reduce costs associated with unproductive hours or absenteeism.

In short, it is an essential tool for any company that wants to better manage time, improve productivity and ensure compliance with internal and legal rules.

Time clock errors refer to situations in which an employee’s clock-in, clock-out, or break data is recorded incorrectly, incompletely, or is missing entirely from the attendance control system. These errors can compromise the reliability of the information used to calculate hours worked, process salaries, and monitor compliance with schedules.

The causes of these errors are varied. One of the most common is the employee forgetting to clock in or out on the system — something that is common in environments with high turnover or flexible schedules. Other causes include technical failures in the recording equipment (such as biometric readers, RFID cards or facial recognition terminals), network or software interruptions, and even incorrect use of the system, either through ignorance or intentional manipulation.

If these errors are not detected and corrected in a timely manner, they can lead to discrepancies in time clock records, affect the calculation of overtime, hinder shift management, and cause conflicts between the company and its employees. It is therefore essential that attendance systems have validation mechanisms, automatic alerts and features that allow records to be corrected, always with the proper authorisation and administrative management.

A good attendance management policy also includes training employees on the correct use of the system and defining clear rules for correcting anomalies, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the recorded data.

Some of the most common errors in timekeeping occur due to both human error and technical problems. Here are the main ones:

  • Lack of registration: It is common for employees to forget to clock in, especially on busy days or when they arrive late. This can generate inconsistencies in attendance maps and delay payroll processing.
  • Duplicate registrations: The same employee may, by mistake, clock in or out more than once. This can confuse the system and generate discrepancies in the total hours worked.
  • Incorrect markings: A recurring error is to mark the exit as entry, or vice versa. When this happens, the system may interpret the data incorrectly, which directly affects time tracking and attendance calculations.
  • Improper use by third parties: Known as “buddy punching”, this error occurs when one employee punches in for another. In addition to compromising the reliability of the system, it can open the door to abuse and affect the work area.
  • Faults in reading devices: Technical problems in equipment such as biometric readers, card terminals or facial recognition can also cause clocking failures. It is important to ensure regular maintenance of the devices and have alternatives for recording.

Employee attendance control is an essential practice for the proper functioning of any company. It goes far beyond knowing whether someone arrived or left on time — it is a strategic tool that contributes to internal justice, operational efficiency and compliance with legal obligations.

First, attendance control ensures equity and transparency within the company. All employees are evaluated according to the same criteria, which avoids injustices and favors a more balanced and motivating work environment. At the same time, it reduces the risk of errors or negligence, such as recurring delays or unjustified absences, which can negatively impact team performance.

From a legal point of view, keeping a rigorous attendance record allows the company to comply with the requirements of labor legislation, particularly in relation to working hours, mandatory breaks, overtime and weekly rest. In the event of an inspection or labor dispute, these records are essential as documentary evidence.

Furthermore, time and attendance is a solid basis for effective human resources management. It allows you to plan shifts, manage vacations and absences, identify team building needs, and assess actual employee productivity. This visibility translates into better resource allocation, greater efficiency, and reduced operating costs.

Ultimately, companies that regularly monitor and analyze attendance data can make more informed decisions, anticipate problems, and implement policies that promote work-life balance for their employees, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable organizational culture.

Although often mentioned together, attendance and punctuality are distinct concepts in the context of human resource management and job performance.

Attendance refers to the frequency with which an employee shows up for work, that is, their regular and continuous presence in the performance of their duties. An assiduous employee is one who rarely misses work, consistently completes their shifts, and demonstrates commitment to their role. Attendance is therefore directly related to effective presence in the workplace over time.

On the other hand, punctuality refers to the employee’s ability to strictly adhere to set schedules, namely entry, exit and break times. Being punctual means arriving on time, starting and finishing activities as planned, respecting the schedules established by the company.

It is perfectly possible for an employee to be assiduous but not punctual — for example, someone who shows up for work every day but is frequently late. Similarly, there may be cases of employees who are punctual on the days they work, but who are absent with some regularity, compromising attendance.

Both aspects are important:

  • Attendance is linked to the employee’s availability and reliability.

  • Punctuality is linked to discipline, organization and respect for time — both yours and that of your colleagues and the company.

Companies that value and monitor both indicators are able to maintain a more productive, balanced and fair environment, reducing negative impacts on team performance and operations planning.

Effective attendance management relies on the rigorous and organized collection of various types of data. These records are essential to ensure compliance with labor laws, optimize human resources management, and ensure fair compensation. The main data to be recorded includes:

  • Start and end times: Allows you to calculate the actual working time, identify delays or early departures and ensure that employees comply with the stipulated hours.
 
  • Breaks (e.g. lunch): Recording break periods helps ensure compliance with the legal minimum rest times and differentiates the actual working time.
 
  • Absences (justified and unjustified): It is important to identify when and why an employee was absent, distinguishing justified absences (e.g. sick leave or vacation) from unjustified absences, which can impact attendance and salary.
 
  • Overtime: Accurate recording of overtime is essential for additional payment purposes and for controlling workload, avoiding unnecessary excess work. authorized.
 
  • Work shifts or schedules: In environments with shift work or rotating schedules, it is necessary to record which shifts were assigned to each employee, ensuring balanced management and compliance with legal obligations.

There are currently several methods available for recording employee attendance, from advanced technological solutions to more traditional methods. The choice depends on the size of the company, the sector in which it operates and the level of automation desired. The most commonly used methods include:

  • Physical time clocks – these devices continue to be very popular, especially in industrial environments or with large numbers of employees, and can work with biometrics (fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.), RFID cards or PINs/numeric codes.
 
  • Mobile applications or web portals – these allow employees to clock in and out via their cell phone or computer, ideal for remote work, external teams or more flexible environments. Many of these solutions include geolocation or IP validation, ensuring greater reliability.

     

  • Integrated systems with access control – in these cases, attendance is automatically recorded when passing through doors or turnstiles with authentication. They are ideal for companies that already have security systems installed and want integrated access and attendance management.
 
  • Manual records – still used in small companies or informal contexts, such as paper spreadsheets or Excel spreadsheets. Although they are easy to implement, they are more prone to errors, manipulation and difficulties in consolidating data for payroll processing.
  • Start and end times: Allows you to calculate actual working time, identify delays or early departures and ensure that employees comply with the stipulated hours.
 
  • Breaks (e.g. lunch): Recording break periods helps ensure compliance with legal minimum rest times and differentiates actual working time.
 
  • Absences (justified and unjustified): It is important to identify when and why an employee was absent, distinguishing justified absences (e.g. sick leave or vacation) from unjustified absences, which can impact attendance and salary.
 
  • Overtime: Accurate recording Overtime is essential for additional payment purposes and for controlling working hours, avoiding unauthorized excess work.
 
  • Shifts or work schedules: In environments with shift work or rotating schedules, it is necessary to record which shifts were assigned to each employee, ensuring balanced management and compliance with legal obligations.

An unjustified absence occurs when an employee is absent from work without presenting a legally valid reason or without complying with the communication and justification duties provided for by law or in the company’s internal regulations.

According to Article 253 of the CLT, the employee must notify the employer of his/her absence as soon as possible and, in the event of illness or other impediment, not foreseeable, must present the justification within a maximum period of five days from the start of the absence. When this communication or justification is not made in accordance with the law, the absence is considered unjustified.

Unjustified absences are particularly serious, as they can:

  • Involve loss of salary corresponding to the period of absence;

  • Be relevant for disciplinary purposes, and may result in sanctions, such as a warning, suspension or even dismissal for just cause, in the event of recurrence or abuse;

  • Prejudice the employee in terms of performance evaluation, attendance bonuses or career progression.

Therefore, it is essential that employees report any absence in a timely manner and always present the appropriate justification, such as a medical certificate, court summons, among other documents recognized by law.

When an employee forgets to clock in, out or during breaks, it is essential that the situation is identified and corrected as soon as possible to ensure the reliability of attendance records and avoid impacts on payroll or performance evaluation.

The way this type of occurrence should be handled depends on the company’s internal policies and the features of the time and attendance system used. However, the most common good practices are as follows:

  • Immediate communication to the employee:
    As soon as the employee realizes the oversight, he/she should inform his/her direct superior or the Human Resources department. The communication must be made in writing (by email, form or internal platform), specifying the date, approximate time and reason for forgetting.

  • Recording the correction in the system:
    Many attendance systems allow a manager (usually the management or HR department) to manually enter or correct the time record, upon validation. This type of correction must be documented and auditable to maintain data integrity.

  • Formal justification:
    The company may require the employee to fill out a timekeeping regularization form, which may be signed and approved by a superior. This document serves as evidence of the correction and prevents allegations of improper manipulation of timetables.

  • Control and prevention policy:
    It is recommended that the company have a clear internal policy on how to deal with forgetfulness — for example, defining a maximum limit of corrections per month, disciplinary measures in case of recurrence or even automatic system alerts to warn the employee who did not register the time.

  • Training and awareness:
    If forgetfulness is recurrent, it may be necessary to reinforce training on the correct use of the timekeeping system, as well as to make employees aware of the importance of strictly following this procedure.

Note:Although forgetting to record timekeeping may seem like something specific or without impact, it compromises the traceability of working time, affects the transparency in HR processes and can cause errors in payroll or benefits processing. Therefore, it is essential to treat each case carefully and keep a clear record of the corrections made.

Attendance control in the teleworking regime is as important as in face-to-face work, although it requires specific adaptations to the remote characteristics of the activity. The goal remains: to ensure that employees adhere to the agreed schedule, wherever they are, promoting accountability, transparency and equity among all team members.

With the digitalization of processes, there are several effective ways to implement remote attendance control:

  1. Digital recording platforms
    Most companies use these systems, where employees record the start and end of their working day with a simple click. These platforms often include additional features, such as breaks, vacation scheduling, or activity logging.

  2. Geolocation-enabled apps (when applicable)
    In roles that require presence in specific locations outside the headquarters (e.g. technical visits, customer support), it is possible to use geolocation-enabled apps to record attendance, ensuring that the time clock is clocked in at the correct location.

  3. Logging in and out of the corporate system
    Some companies monitor hours through the time spent accessing the system or the company’s VPN. Although this method should not be used as the sole criterion, it can complement attendance control.

  4. Productivity-based models
    Instead of focusing on the exact time of entry and exit, some companies adopt results-oriented systems, where attendance is evaluated based on the delivery of tasks, compliance with deadlines and defined goals. However, it is still recommended that there be a minimum record of attendance for legal purposes.

  5. Reporting and Periodic Validation
    Systems can generate weekly or monthly reports with the working hours declared by each employee, which are then validated by the team manager or HR, ensuring compliance and accountability.

It is important to mention that the flexibility of InnuxTime HR also allows specific rules and configurations to be adapted according to the reality of each company, ensuring compliance with internal regulations, collective agreements or sectors with special labor regimes, such as shift work, night work or teleworking.

The attendance records generated by InnuxTime HR are stored in a secure and organized manner, fully respecting the legal deadlines defined by Brazilian legislation. In accordance with the provisions of the Labour Code, as well as the guidelines of the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT), companies are required to keep records of working time — including entries, exits, breaks and on-call times — for a minimum period of 5 years.

This period is intended to ensure that, in the event of inspection, audit or labour dispute, the company is able to present reliable evidence of compliance with legal obligations relating to working time, in particular with regard to the number of hours worked, overtime, rest times and management of absences or absences.

InnuxTime HR allows the storage of this data in a fully secure, centralized and encrypted manner, ensuring that it is protected against unauthorized access and improper changes. The system also maintains a complete and auditable history of time records, which can be consulted or exported at any time by users with assigned permissions, namely human resources teams, managers and the employee themselves.

Yes, InnuxTime HR is fully prepared to respond to the legal requirements imposed by the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT), allowing the generation of complete reports, organized and formatted according to the criteria established by this regulatory body.

Brazilian labor legislation requires companies to keep reliable and up-to-date records of their employees’ working time, including the start and end of each shift, breaks, overtime and absences. These records must be accessible and available whenever requested by ACT, particularly during regular inspections or extraordinary audits.

With InnuxTime HR, it is possible to generate these reports quickly, automatically and according to the required parameters, ensuring that the information presented is clear, complete and legally valid.

This flexibility is particularly useful in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, safety, transportation, retail and hospitality, where collective agreements are common and the needs for organizing working time are complex and demanding.

Companies in Portugal are legally required, under the Labor Code, to maintain a reliable, complete and up-to-date record of their employees’ working hours. This requirement applies to all workers, regardless of the type of contract (permanent, fixed-term, part-time, teleworking, among others), and is intended to ensure compliance with legal working hours limits, promote health and safety at work, guarantee the employees’ labor rights and facilitate control and inspection by the competent bodies.

1. Daily record of working hours

The company must record, in a clear and verifiable manner, the start and end times of each employee, including breaks, mandatory intervals, overtime and night work, when applicable. The record must accurately reflect the hours actually worked and not just the contractual hours. This data can be collected manually, such as time sheets, or preferably by digital systems that guarantee greater precision, reliability and automation, such as time management software.

2. Retention of records

Records of working time must be kept for a minimum period of five years, as required by employment law, to ensure that in the event of audits, inspections by the ACT (Working Conditions Authority) or employment disputes, there is reliable documentary evidence of the hours actually worked by employees.

3. Immediate availability for inspection

Records must be organized and available at any time for presentation to the appropriate inspection bodies. The absence of records, or their failure to present them during an inspection, constitutes a serious contravention, subject to fines and legal sanctions that may have a financial and reputational impact on the company.

4. Compliance with legal working limits

Companies must use the records to monitor and ensure compliance with legal standards on working hours, namely:

  • The limit of 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week of work normal;

  • The obligation of a minimum rest interval of 1 hour after 6 consecutive hours of work;

  • The granting of mandatory weekly rest and compliance with legal holidays;

  • The control of overtime, respecting the maximum legal limits and expected compensations;

  • The adequate management of hours bank, flexible hours or shift schedules, when applicable.

 

5. Processing of personal data and GDPR

Attendance data concerns the professional and personal lives of employees and is therefore considered sensitive personal data, subject to the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Companies must ensure that this data is collected, stored and processed securely, with restricted access, legitimate purposes and clear retention policies. They must also ensure the rights of data subjects, such as access, rectification or deletion of records, where legally applicable.

Complying with these legal obligations is not just a regulatory requirement — it is also good management practice, which contributes to internal transparency, respect for employees’ rights and the prevention of labor disputes. Furthermore, it allows the company to demonstrate good faith in audit or inspection processes, reducing the risk of fines and litigation.

Yes. alert that supports compliance with the Portuguese Labor Code and other applicable legal obligations.

In addition, InnuxTime HR generates analytical reports and dashboards  that facilitate the visualization of irregular behaviors, anomalies or risk patterns, enabling proactive action by the human resources department or the company’s management.

With these functionalities, the system becomes a strategic ally in compliance with the law, reducing the risk of sanctions in case of inspections by the ACT (Authority for Working Conditions), and contributes to a more transparent, ethical personnel management aligned with the best labor practices.

The lack of effective and reliable control of employee attendance represents a significant risk for any organization, both from a legal and financial point of view, as well as at an operational, strategic and reputational level. Attendance management is not just about recording entries and exits — it is an essential process to ensure compliance with labor legislation, internal equity, cost control and human resource efficiency.

Among the main risks of not properly controlling attendance, the following stand out:

  • Non-compliance with legislation – Companies are legally required to keep a strict record of working hours, as provided for in Portuguese Labor Code. The non-existence, incomplete presentation or manipulation of these records may result in serious misdemeanors during inspections by the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT), subjecting the company to fines, administrative sanctions and legal proceedings.
 
  • Difficulty in managing overtime, vacations and absences – Without a structured control system, it becomes almost impossible to correctly account for overtime, compensatory time off, vacation balances, justified or unjustified absences. This can lead to errors in salary processing, employee dissatisfaction and inefficiency in resource management, in addition to a direct impact on operating costs.
 
  • Internal conflicts and loss of trust – The lack of control or the use of manual and non-transparent methods can generate doubts among employees, distrust in relation to managerial impartiality and conflicts labor. Situations such as unmonitored recurring delays, poorly allocated compensation or unjustified absences not reported negatively affect the organizational climate.
 
  • Productivity loss and ineffective planning – Without accurate information about the actual presence of employees, it is difficult to plan shifts, schedules, deliveries or task allocation efficiently. This can lead to work overloads, operational failures and process delays, compromising the quality of service and the competitiveness of the organization.
 
  • Inability to act preventively – The absence of real-time data prevents the identification of problematic behavior patterns, such as chronic absenteeism, burnout or poor time management. The lack of a global vision limits the company’s ability to act preventively and adjust internal policies strategically.
 

The implementation of a digital solution, such as InnuxTime HR, allows automating and standardizing attendance registration, offering accurate reports, irregularity alerts, integration with HR systems and guarantees of legal compliance. This approach contributes to more efficient, fair management that is prepared to meet the legal and operational requirements of today’s market.

1. Does the software work in the cloud or does it need its own server?

InnuxTime HR can be installed locally, on the company’s own server, offering total control over data, high information security and the possibility of customization according to the internal infrastructure.

However, the solution can also operate in a cloud environment, allowing greater flexibility, remote accessibility and reduced costs with physical server maintenance. The choice between local or cloud installation depends on the specific needs and technological strategy of each company.

The InnuxTime HR implementation process includes the following phases:

  • Requirements analysis and needs assessment
    In this initial phase, a meeting is held with the company’s managers to identify the specific needs for attendance management and/or access control. Internal rules, organizational structures, types of schedules practiced, tolerance policies, shifts, among others, are evaluated. This analysis allows you to define an implementation plan adjusted to the company’s reality.
  • Software installation (locally or remotely)
    Depending on the option chosen (local installation or in a cloud environment), the software is deployed on the company’s internal server or made available remotely. This step includes the basic configuration of the platform and validation of the infrastructure required to ensure its proper functioning.
  • Integration with Innux time/access terminals
    Time and/or access control terminals are integrated with InnuxTime HR, allowing the automatic collection of employee entry and exit records. The rules for synchronization and communication between the devices and the system are also defined.
  • Configuring schedules, rules, employees, departments and users/managers
    The system is customized according to the company’s organizational structure. User profiles (employees, managers, HR) are created, and departments, shifts, schedules and calculation rules (such as tolerances, breaks, overtime, etc.) are defined. This configuration is essential for the system to correctly reflect operational reality.
  • Initial training and testing
    After configuration, a training session is held with key users (typically Human Resources, Management, team managers) to ensure that they have mastered the essential features of the system. Practical tests are also carried out with real records to validate the correct functioning of the system before it goes into production.
  • Post-installation technical support
    After the system is initialized, a period of technical support is made available, during which the support team is available to clarify doubts, make fine adjustments or provide support in specific situations. This support ensures a smooth transition and efficient use of the solution from the very first days.

For installation on your own server, the requirements depend on the number of users and the size of the installation, but generally include:

1. Is InnuxTime HR compliant with the GDPR?

InnuxTime HR is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring that all platform features comply with legal requirements regarding privacy, protection and processing of employees’ personal data.

The system was developed with an approach focused on security and transparency, integrating a set of specific features to ensure compliance with the legal obligations provided for in the GDPR, namely:

  • Explicit and documented consent for the processing of sensitive data, whenever applicable;

  • Management of data subject rights, such as access, rectification, opposition, limitation of processing and the right to be forgotten;

  • Registration of processing activities, ensuring full traceability and accountability;

  • Strict access control, through user profiles, secure authentication and segregation of permissions;

  • Secure data storage, with encryption mechanisms, backups and retention policies defined;

  • Audits and action logs, for monitoring activities and supporting compliance processes.

Compliance with the GDPR is continuously monitored, through technical and procedural updates, ensuring that the system remains aligned with European legislation and good data protection practices.

The system implements multiple layers of security specifically designed to ensure data protection and integrity, including:

  • Strict access management through credentials and personalized profiles – ensuring that only duly authorized users can access information, with permission levels clearly defined according to their roles and responsibilities.
 
  • Detailed activity logs – allowing continuous auditing of all actions performed in the system. This monitoring facilitates the rapid identification of any suspicious activities or unauthorized access attempts, increasing the capacity for immediate response.
 
  • Advanced encryption of sensitive data – using secure algorithms that ensure the confidentiality of information, whether in storage or during transmission, preventing third parties from accessing this data, even if malicious attempts occur.
 
  • Use of firewalls and secure network protocols – that continuously control, filter and monitor traffic, preventing external threats, cyber attacks and intrusions, keeping the digital environment protected against vulnerabilities.
 

These integrated measures ensure effective defense against unauthorized access, improper manipulation and accidental loss, providing a secure and completely reliable environment for data management.

InnuxTime HR offers total flexibility regarding the location of data storage, adapting to the needs and policies of each organization. There are two main options:

  • Company-owned servers:
    In this scenario, data is stored on the customer’s internal servers, allowing you full control over where and how data is stored, accessed, and managed. This option is ideal for organizations with specific security, compliance, or internal IT policy requirements, ensuring that all information remains within the company’s on-premises infrastructure.

  • Innux Cloud Servers:
    When the system is hosted in the cloud, data is stored on secure and certified servers contracted by Innux, located in data centers that meet international standards for information security, redundancy, backups and high availability. This option guarantees a continuous service, with full technical management by Innux, including protection against failures, attacks and data loss.

In both options, data processing and storage fully comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), with strict access, encryption and privacy protection policies.

The choice between local or cloud storage is made according to the technology strategy, legal requirements and level of autonomy desired by each client.

Yes. InnuxTime HR allows for a detailed and personalized configuration of access permissions per user, ensuring that each person accesses only the information and functionalities that are relevant to their role within the organization.

By creating user profiles, it is possible to define distinct access levels, such as:

  • Human Resources (HR): Full access to employee management, working hours, vacations, absences, reports and exports.

  • Department Managers: View and validate schedules and attendance of your direct team.

  • Supervisors: Control of entries/exits, occurrences and specific markings for your shifts or areas.

  • Employees: Access to their individual profile, where they can check vacation balances, attendance records and send requests.

The system also allows temporary or restricted access management, and maintains activity logs for auditing and traceability, reinforcing the principles of security, transparency and compliance with the GDPR.

This level of control contributes to a more organized, secure management aligned with the company’s good internal governance practices.

Not directly. InnuxTime HR does not perform automatic backups natively in the software itself. However, it is possible to implement external backup mechanisms, installed and configured by the Innux technical team or in collaboration with the client’s IT department.

These external solutions ensure that platform data is backed up periodically and securely, in accordance with the organization’s backup policies.
