Overview
Herbst Attendance is a fully integrated software solution for
recording the attendance of employees and the calculation of their
wages. It is designed to save your company many hours of manual
labour in tracking, accumulating, and summarizing your employees'
attendance. The programme is extremely flexible allowing you to
define your own rules for tracking and registering employee
presences and absences.
It has been designed to be used by any company where there is a
need for a more secure and reliable alternative to the traditional
clocking system.
At its simplest, Herbst Attendance is a Full Electronic Clocking
In/Out System which automatically integrates with HRM Payroll
software, eliminating the most time consuming of all tasks -
accumulating and inputting hours and times.
However, at its most powerful it can be a Complete HR Management
Tool for:
- Early goings, Late comings and Flexi Time
- Maintaining different Pay Schemes &
Bonuses
Production management becomes a breeze with Herbst Attendance,
enabling you to manage your employees' time down to the minute -
which machine worked on; for how long etc.
For Job Costing - you can record employees' time on a customer's
site or on a specific job. While also conforming to all working
legislations - recording required resting periods; issuing safety
statements and logging accidents.
One of the major advantage of Herbst Attendance Program is that
all data can be recorded on the main Server of your company and is
completely live and up-to-date, keeping management up to speed with
all goings on right up to the minute. Supervisors can access the
information at the important times and monitor employees' time
attendance; breaks taken etc.
Holiday planning module available.
Herbst Attendance can be used with or without a Clocking
Machine, and the clocking machine can be connected by a serial port
or it can be directly connected to the network.
The weather proof clocking machine is the most convenient for
your business. The clocking cards used are "proximity" cards, which
means no swiping is necessary by the employees, making it extremely
user friendly and efficient. You do NOT need to take the card out
of your wallet!
Accidents Recordings
Keep a record of employee accidents and injuries. Log the action
taken and the cost of the injury to the company. All accidents are
attached to the employee record for future reference.

Safety Statements

This critical document, required by Law and insurance companies,
can be attached to each employee record, ensuring your company will
never be lacking when it comes to safety legislation. Review and
edit your safety statement directly from payslips to refresh
employee's memories.
Security & User Restrictions
Herbst Software has gone to great lengths to develop a robust
and comprehensive user set up and in the security system in Herbst
Attendance Program. You can set up each of your managers as a user
and strictly monitor what employees and what days they are allowed
to view. This can be extremely useful, in allowing your managers to
log on themselves and view the productivity of their department or
shifts.
Basic Functions
- Registering employee
clocking times
Herbst Attendance registers all clocking times (in and out) of each
employee. And on the basis of this information, you can get a full
picture of all employees who are present at this very moment. You
can also get a picture of the employees who were present at any
other moment in history.
- Registering employee
activities
Once the clocking times have been recorded, it takes you to the
next level, registering employees' activities. Here, you can define
what activities are supposed to be performed by the employee
throughout the day. Activities are all actions and states of the
employees which may or may not concern their payment. At this
level, you define how the programme should treat the clocking times
of the employees,
- Counting employee
time
After the activities of the employee have been registered, this
information can then be used to define different pay classes for
the individual employee. The program then counts the activities
according to the pay classes assigned to them. As a result, you can
view how many hours the employees worked and according to what pay
classes their payment should be calculated.
