Abstract
Institutions, companies and organisations where security and net productivity is vital, access to certain areas
must be controlled and monitored through an automated system of attendance. Managing people is a difficult
task for most of the organizations and maintaining the attendance record is an important factor in people
management. When considering the academic institute, taking the attendance of non-academic staff on daily
basis and maintaining the records is a major task. Manually taking attendance and maintaining it for a long time
adds to the difficulty of this task as well as wastes a lot of time. For this reason, an efficient system is proposed
in this paper to solve the problem of manual attendance. This system takes attendance electronically with the
help of a fingerprint recognition system, and all the records are saved for subsequent operations. Staff biometric
attendance system employs an automated system to calculate attendance of staff in an organization and do
further calculations of monthly attendance summary in order to reduce human errors during calculations. In
essence, the proposed system can be employed in curbing the problems of lateness, buddy punching and truancy
in any institution, organization or establishment. The proposed system will also improve the productivity of any
organization if properly implemented.
