What is an attendance management system?

An attendance management system is software that records when employees clock in and out, tracks work hours, applies shift and overtime rules, and feeds verified data into payroll. QkrHR captures attendance from biometric devices, GPS-tagged mobile check-in and web browser — in a single, time-stamped log visible on a live attendance board.

How does QkrHR track employee attendance?

QkrHR captures attendance four ways: biometric and access-control devices, GPS-tagged mobile check-in for field and remote staff, web punch-in from any browser, and bulk import for legacy registers. Every punch is time-stamped and location-aware where enabled. HR and managers see a live board showing who is present, late, absent or on leave — in real time.

Does QkrHR support biometric attendance machines?

Yes. QkrHR integrates with common biometric, fingerprint and face-recognition attendance devices used in Indian offices and factories. Punches sync automatically into the attendance log — you keep your existing hardware while eliminating the manual register and the month-end reconciliation.

How does QkrHR handle multiple shifts and overtime?

QkrHR manages rotating and fixed shifts, weekly off patterns, night-shift allowances and overtime rules. Shifts can be assigned to individuals, teams or an entire plant via a drag-and-drop roster grid. Overtime is calculated automatically based on predefined rules and flows directly into payroll — no manual re-keying.

What is the attendance lock/unlock feature in QkrHR?

Attendance locking is a structured control in QkrHR that freezes attendance data before the payroll cycle begins. This ensures payroll and statutory compliance calculations — PF, ESI, PT, TDS — always run on verified, finalized attendance data. Authorized HR can unlock, correct and re-lock records with a full audit trail maintained throughout.

What is attendance regularization in QkrHR?

Attendance regularization allows employees to request correction of missed punches, late entries or incorrect records. In QkrHR, regularization requests go through a configurable approval workflow — manager approves, HR validates — and the corrected record is updated in the attendance log before payroll is finalized. Every change is audit-logged.

How does QkrHR attendance connect to payroll?

Attendance data in QkrHR flows directly into QkrHR payroll after the attendance lock step. Loss-of-pay days, overtime hours, late marks and leave deductions are calculated automatically — the numbers that drive salary are the same numbers from the attendance board. There is no export file, no spreadsheet hand-off and no re-keying.

Can QkrHR track field and remote employee attendance?

Yes. Field and remote employees check in via the QkrHR mobile app with GPS tagging and optional geofencing. QkrHR verifies that employees are checking in from approved locations before recording the punch. Office staff can use biometric devices or web punch-in — all sources land in the same unified attendance log.

Frequently Asked Questions

QkrHR is the strongest alternative to Keka HR for Indian businesses. It matches Keka on ease of use while going deeper on payroll control, statutory compliance, field force management, and multi-entity HR. Employees go live within 7 days and every client gets a dedicated WhatsApp support contact — not a generic helpdesk.

The most common reasons: tighter payroll controls with structured locking, integrated field force management for on-ground teams, faster implementation with dedicated WhatsApp support, and multi-entity or multi-shift payroll that's more configurable. QkrHR covers all of these without separate add-ons.

Yes — in terms of structure. QkrHR embeds PF, ESI, PT, and TDS compliance inside a locked payroll cycle. The attendance-locking step ensures compliance calculations never run on unverified data — the most common source of statutory filing errors. Keka processes compliance but without the same formal pre-run validation structure.

Both automate payroll, but QkrHR adds a structured three-stage locking workflow. Attendance locking freezes data before payroll begins. Payroll finalization locks computed salaries for review. Payroll locking seals the output before bank transfer. Compliance always runs on verified, finalized data — eliminating the most common source of payroll errors.

QkrHR commits to employees live within 7 days, and complete implementation — data migration, policy configuration, workflow setup — done within 15 days. Every client has a dedicated WhatsApp group with a named POC for real-time support throughout and after go-live.
