Problems with Manual Attendance Tracking
Physical registers are not auditable
A paper register can be filled in retroactively. There is no timestamp, no record of who entered the data, and no way to run reports for payroll or compliance without manual counting.
Biometric machines in isolation are not useful
Many companies have a biometric machine at the door but the punch data lives in a standalone device. It does not connect to payroll, does not capture field employees, and someone still manually transfers data into Excel.
Excel attendance sheets are error-prone
A shared Excel for 20 employees filled in by HR manually every day introduces data errors, formula mistakes, and version control problems. By payroll day, nobody fully trusts the numbers.
Remote employees cannot use location-based systems
For field sales, delivery staff, or remote workers, a physical biometric is useless. They need a way to mark attendance that works from wherever they are.
EzNxt Attendance Tracking Features

Attendance to Payroll — No Manual Transfer
The biggest operational gain from EzNxt attendance tracking is the connection to payroll. Here is how it works:
- Employees mark attendance daily (web or mobile)
- Leaves approved in the leave module are automatically counted as working days
- Any absent day beyond the approved leave balance becomes LOP
- At month end, the payroll module reads the attendance data and calculates LOP deductions automatically
- Payslips are generated with the correct deductions — no Excel cross-referencing
Frequently Asked Questions
What is employee attendance tracking software?
Employee attendance tracking software records when employees are present, absent, late, or on half-day for each working day. It replaces manual registers, biometric machines that don't connect to payroll, and spreadsheet-based tracking. The data feeds directly into payroll calculations so loss-of-pay deductions happen automatically.
Is EzNxt attendance tracking free?
Yes. EzNxt attendance tracking is completely free for up to 10 users — web and mobile attendance marking, shift management, monthly reports, and payroll integration included. No credit card required. After 10 users, the cost is ₹80/user/month for all EzNxt modules.
How do remote employees mark attendance in EzNxt?
Remote and field employees mark attendance via the EzNxt mobile app. They open the app, tap to mark attendance, and the manager sees the status update immediately. This works without a physical biometric machine — employees do not need to be in an office location to mark attendance.
Does EzNxt attendance connect to payroll?
Yes. Attendance data in EzNxt feeds directly into payroll calculations. Loss of pay (LOP) days — where an employee was absent beyond their approved leave balance — are automatically deducted in the salary calculation. This removes the manual step of cross-referencing attendance with payroll sheets every month.
Can managers correct attendance entries in EzNxt?
Yes. If an employee forgot to mark attendance or marked it incorrectly, managers can submit an attendance correction request. The corrected record is reflected in the employee's monthly attendance. This maintains accuracy without giving all employees direct edit access to attendance data.
Does EzNxt support multiple shifts?
Yes. EzNxt supports configuring multiple work shifts — morning, afternoon, night shifts, or custom timing. Employees are assigned to a shift and their attendance late/absent status is calculated relative to their shift start time, not a single company-wide time.
How does EzNxt handle weekends and public holidays in attendance?
You configure your company's weekly off days (typically Saturday/Sunday or just Sunday) and upload the official holiday list for the year. EzNxt excludes these days from attendance tracking and payroll working day calculations — employees are not marked absent on holidays.
Can I get attendance reports for a department or the whole company?
Yes. EzNxt generates monthly attendance reports showing present days, absent days, late arrivals, half-days, and LOP for each employee. You can filter by department or run a company-wide report. These reports can be exported for payroll processing or compliance audits.
