Time Tracking Setup - An overview

Monitoring employee time and attendance details is one of the most challenging and tedious task for any organization. To meet this challenge, a comprehensive time and attendance system, Time Tracker is provided. This business process enables you to automate your time and attendance tracking and also includes Smart Card options. Also, the Time Tracker enables the creation of an interface if an integrating system already exists for managing the time booking entities.
