Abstract
Conventional employee attendance model primarily involves employees manually completing the timesheet or using time stamping machines. Such model requires em-ployees to queue to clock in, which delays their clock- in times, and occasionally, it is also associated with the loophole of employees asking their colleagues to clock in for them. These deficiencies render employee salary calculations time consuming and labor intensive. In addition, by using such conventional model, corporate administrators cannot accurately and immediately control and manage employee attendance, which lowers the efficiency in interdepartmental communication and management. The prevalence of mobile devices and cloud computing technologies have increased the application of cloud based software and hardware in various industries. In addition to traditional time stamping machines, current attendance systems mostly involve using passive approaches such as the use of radio frequency identification technology, barcode swipe cards, and proximity access control. However, these technologies are associated with high setup cost, and they cannot be comprehensively used easily. This study developed a Beacon attendance system (BAS), which is a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) based smart employee management system. Through integrating mobile apps and BLE using Beacon technology, the BAS enables attendance data of community service personnel to be quickly stored on cloud systems, and users can clock in/out whenever they start work, get off work, or work overtime simply by using their mobile app. This study expects that the developed BAS can assist corporate administrators and community monitoring management units in managing the attendance of their employees and enhancing the personnel dispatch efficiency. Furthermore, by accessing data on cloud systems, BAS users can automatically calculate employees’ salary based on their attendance, thereby reducing the time and costs required for performing the calculations manually.
