Time and attendance systems are those that keep track of people's comings and goings. Typically this refers to employees working in a business. However it can also be used in other contexts, such as students attending a class.

There are a whole range of technical problems involved with this category of business systems, such as:

  • Date/Time Set and Interval mathematics
  • Nuances of date and time in the real world
  • Pattern recognition in event streams
  • Business rules engines
  • And much more.

Time and Attendance systems also tend to overlap (Venn diagram style) with the following:

  • Payroll Systems
  • Scheduling Systems
  • Access Control Systems
  • Employee Benefits Systems

The broader category of these systems is known as Workforce Management.

StackOverflow is not the place to discuss commercial Time and Attendance products. However, there are many programming problems associated with building these products, or integrating with them, that may be appropriate if phrased properly.

Also appropriate are generalized questions that would be useful if building an in-house Time and Attendance system.
