IMPLEMENTED SOLUTION

SMART Solution for Attendance with processing of records of working times supported by mixed-technology UMV6 IP terminals, using identification by fingerprint or Mifare proximity cards. Initially, and obviously in addition to HR, access to the time and attendance management system was made available to managers through the provision of personal profiles to visualise and correct the levels of attendance of the respective teams. More recently, in 2018, this access was extended to the Employees themselves, who began to have their own individual profiles devised for consultation and introducing suggestions to improve their attendance, for subsequent checking by their respective superiors.

MOTIVATION

Although at first it was decided that the responsibility for introducing corrections to deal with attendance irregularities by Municipal Employees should focus on the HR and management area, it was soon realised that the employees themselves could play a valuable role in this process. Effectively, by enlarging the attendance application’s scope of use to all affected participants, the individual responsibility of each worker was enhanced, while at the same time, there was investment in decentralising tasks with the aim of achieving greater efficiency in the internal functioning of this Municipal Council.
