Staff Attendance & Shifts, present, proven, on time

Schoolyam Staff Attendance & Shifts tracks every teacher and employee with biometric punches, shift masters and date-wise shift changes. Absent-by-default logic means missed punches surface immediately, month registers build themselves, and approved leaves and late marks flow straight into payroll.

Questions principals ask

Frequently asked

Which biometric machines work with Schoolyam?

ESSL, ZKTeco (easyTimePro) and compatible fingerprint/face devices sync automatically. Each staff member maps to a machine ID once — bulk mapping screens make initial setup a single sitting.

What if a teacher forgets to punch?

The day shows as absent by default and surfaces on HR’s screen immediately — so it gets corrected the same day with an authorised manual mark (logged), not discovered at salary time.

Can different staff have different shifts?

Yes — shift masters assign per staff member, and date-wise shift changes handle exam weeks, winter timings and individual adjustments without breaking the month’s register.
