What is the main purpose of the time and attendance module in Infor Global HR?

The main purpose of the time and attendance module in Infor Global HR is to track employee hours worked, absenteeism, and compliance with labor regulations. This module is essential for ensuring accurate and efficient management of employee work hours, which directly impacts payroll processing and compliance with various labor laws.

By effectively monitoring hours worked, organizations can ensure that employees are compensated correctly for the time they put in. Additionally, tracking absenteeism helps HR departments identify patterns that may necessitate intervention or policy change, promoting a healthier workplace environment. Compliance with labor regulations is also critical, as this module aids in adhering to rules regarding overtime and attendance, which protects the organization from potential legal issues arising from non-compliance.

In contrast, while scheduling employee shifts and managing vacations are important functions, they are more focused on planning rather than tracking actual time and attendance. Overseeing employee performance metrics typically falls under performance management rather than time tracking, and regulating payroll processing, while connected to time and attendance, is not its primary purpose. The core focus of the module is the accurate recording and management of hours worked and attendance data.
