Attendance management suite
Shift-aware attendance with anti-fraud guards, automatic flags and penalties, amendment requests with approvals, and a live attendance sheet for the whole company.
Attendance data is either trusted and wrong, or checked and late: registers get filled at month end, penalties are argued in the corridor, and payroll starts from numbers nobody fully believes.
Zaffre Axon computes attendance continuously against each person’s shift. Flags, penalties and hours settle every day, disputes run as amendment requests with approvals, and payroll reads the result without anyone re-typing it.
Attendance in Zaffre Axon is computed, not collected. Every check-in and check-out is evaluated against the employee’s own shift (timings, grace, break rules) and produces flags the same way for everyone: late, early leave, missing checkout, break overruns and absence.
The attendance sheet gives HR a live month grid per team; amendments are approval-gated requests with a full trail; and gazetted holidays, leaves and remote-work days reconcile automatically so no one is marked absent for a day the company itself declared off.
Verification guards stop the usual tricks (the friend who marks you present, the check-in from home for an office shift, the shared login) using face matching, geo-fences, allowed IPs and device binding, each optional per company policy. Payroll then reads attendance that survived those guards.
What's built into attendance management suite
Anti-fraud check-ins
Face verification, geo-fencing, allowed-IP and device checks apply per company policy, on mobile, web and desktop check-ins alike.
Automatic flags
Late arrival, early leave, missing checkout, over-long breaks and absence are flagged automatically against the assigned shift, with your grace rules applied.
Penalty rules, not moods
Penalty rules translate repeated flags into defined deductions, so the same behaviour costs everyone the same amount.
Amendment workflow
If someone forgets to check out, the fix is a request with evidence and an approver, not a quiet edit to history.
Payroll without re-entry
Hours, lateness and penalties flow into payslips from the same records; flags are re-evaluated before every run so they are never out of date.
How it works
- 1
Assign shifts
Each employee carries a shift with timings, grace and break rules.
- 2
Check in with guards
Mobile, web, desktop or biometric device, verified according to your policy.
- 3
Flags resolve daily
Late, absent and break flags compute automatically against the shift.
- 4
Fix by request
Corrections run as amendment requests with approvers and evidence.
- 5
Payroll reads it
Hours and penalties land in payslips with a pre-run re-evaluation.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use Zaffre’s attendance management on its own, without the full suite?
- Yes. Zaffre Axon is modular. You can start with just this module (only Payroll, say, or only Attendance, CRM, Helpdesk, Accounting or Project Management) and add other modules later on the same platform. There is no re-platforming and no data migration, and you only pay for the modules you use.
- Can attendance rules differ by team or shift?
- Yes. Flags are evaluated against each employee’s assigned shift and your company’s grace and break rules, so a night-shift worker is never judged by day-shift timings.
- How are late-coming penalties handled?
- Penalty rules convert defined flag patterns into consistent deductions, which itemise on the payslip. Rules are transparent, so employees can see exactly why an amount applied.
- What if someone forgets to check out?
- A missing-checkout flag raises automatically; the employee files an amendment request, the approver decides, and the sheet updates with the trail preserved.
- Does it work for field staff without an office network?
- Yes. Mobile check-ins with face verification and geo-fencing cover sites and field work, while IP restrictions can stay enforced for office roles.
- Is attendance recalculated before payroll?
- Yes. Each pay run re-evaluates the period’s flags and penalties first, so payroll never uses stale attendance.
