Biometrics

III. DEFINITION OF THE TOPIC:

This chapter contains the project context which discusses the

companys history, business process, and problems encountered. This
chapter also shows the general and specific objectives, purpose and
description, and the scope and delimitation of the study.

3.1 Project Context

Over the years the ways in which businesses monitor when

employees arrive and depart from work, record absences and manage
holidays has evolved. With the introduction of time attendance
systems organizations are able to accurately record the clocking of
data, see in real time who is in and who isnt and calculate employees
attendance and absence hours. The software enables complete
flexibility and usability and all reports and calculations can be
configured to suit an organizations individual requirements. And this
software is suitable not only for large organizations but smaller ones
too.

Time and Attendance Software has enabled businesses to

become more productive whilst providing vastly improved data
integrity. This type of software can use accurate time clocking using
radio clocks or internet technology, but can now be supported by the
most up to date means of technology Fingerprint Identification.

Biometrics technology can be used as a type of employee time

management system because of its ability to recognize peoples
unique physiological characteristics. Biometrics based time and
attendance terminals are becoming increasingly popular in todays
market because of their many benefits (and, lets face it, hand or face
scanning equipment is just pretty awesome). Because biometrics
terminals read a persons unique fingerprint, iris, hand shape, or face
shape, they ensure that employees cannot clock in for one another,
thereby preventing employee time theft.

One of the most prevalent biometric technologies is the

fingerprint recognition system; by placing a finger on the scanner, the
time clock terminal reads the fingerprint and allows the person to clock
in or out. Learn more about how fingerprint biometric time clocks work.

Another biometrics terminal that Acumen carries has the ability

to recognize hand shape and size. I originally assumed that the device
was capturing a three dimensional image of the hand being scanned
when I first saw the system. However, in reality, it captures unique
minutia points on the hand of the employee and measures between
the points, then hashes the measurement to a single unique value that
is transmitted for verification.

This technology is not restricted to just hands and fingers; there

are terminals that scan a persons iris to recognize the individual.
Additionally, certain systems capture an image of a persons unique
face shape and use this to allow employees access to features on the
terminal.

One of the newest and most interesting types of biometrics

technology deals with recognizing the unique patterns that veins make
in a persons hand. Because these patterns are intricate and highly
complex, it is nearly impossible for one person to clock in as another.
The technology, therefore, has very low false acceptance and false
rejection rates and is used in especially high security areas.

Atlas Nutrition is located at #143 Brgy. Duhat, Bocaue, Bulacan

it is a Feeds Manufacturing company here in Bulacan. Atlas Nutrition
was founded by by Mr. HSIEH SHIH YING together with his family they
operating it since 1990. Their mission is to provide an innovative and
value added products through the application of engineered solutions
making farming efficient, profitable, and fun

The corporation, all started modestly on March 1990. The first

year of operation using fabricated and antiquated machineries was
characterized by the unprecedented acceptance of the feeds
manufactured and orders come in quantity and in a so short a period of
time by about 1 (one) year of operation manned by himself all put
together, a top notch Sales Manager and a selected few employees
and workers. arise again the need for a bigger and spacious plant
 facilities to house the plant and offices as well as improve its
manufacturing facilities to include the installation of the state of the art
manufacturing facilities, computerized and with palletizing machine.

On 1997, the company bought a 2 (two) hectares of land

at Barangay Duhat, Bocaue, Bulacan to become the site of the new
plant facilities. By August of 1999 the plant was completely built and
occupied. To date it carries a complete line of Hog, Poultry and Aqua
Feeds serving clients in the whole of Luzon, it has accredited
distributors, dealers, sub-dealers and users. If only to portray how
acceptable the companys product lines in the area of Batangas where
a good number of similar feed manufacturers made up of Grower /
owner in the area who are stockholders of reputable feed mills in their
own right use the companys feed products.

The plant now boasts of a staff of competent,

experienced sales, and technical services of 8 career sales
representatives, 4 experienced veterinary doctors and a chemist
conducting laboratory technical analysis of the feed products it
manufactures and all the raw material used in the manufacture
of feeds. It has a fleet of delivery vehicle to make deliveries as
orders are made.

3.2 Objective of the Study

General Objective:

The general objective of the study is to develop a Payroll and

Attendance Monitoring System using Biometrics for Atlas Nutrition

Specific Objectives:

The study has the following objectives:

1. To create a system that can monitor the attendance of each

employee within the day using a biometric device that can
provide essential and reliable way of attendance checking
2. Reduce the time consumed in the computation of salary and
other related computations such as deductions
3. Design a user-friendly system that can be easily manipulated
by the user
4. Create a system that can generate and print reports such as
pay slip, tardiness report and employees attendance
 5. Develop a system that can lessen the work of the accountant
and security personnel

3.3 Significance of the Study

The study will benefit the following:

Human Resource Office. The study will benefit the office through the
systems reliable source of employees, attendance, in which the
weekly checking of absentees is no longer performed

Security Personnel. The system ensures the identification of each

employee through its biometric device, in which security personnel will
no longer be subjected to identify inspection of employees.

Employees. The system will secure and maintain their records as a

reliable source of information and will be able to receive accurate
amount of salary

Future Researchers. The study can be a guide for the future

researchers that will conduct a research about this study.

Proponents. The study will help the proponents to enhance their skills
in programming and documentation.

3.4 Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The system is design to develop a Payroll and Attendance Monitoring

System using Biometrics for Atlas Nutrition. The programming language used
in designing the system is Visual Studio 2010 and the database used is
MySQL 5.0. It covers the time in and the time out of employees using
Biometrics. It includes features that can add employees record, edit
employees information and archive employees record as well as the
computation of deductions and net pay. The system can also display and
generate reports such as employees attendance, their record of absences
and tardiness. An additional feature of the system is the ability to sort or filter
data.it can also save and print the pay slip of the employee
Only the salary of the employees will be computed. Other employees such as
regular/permanent, head and staff, casual and under payroll jacket status are
not included in the computation of the salary. If the employee forgot to log in
or out, the administrator assistant can modify the attendance by manually
inputting the time in and out of the employee based on the guards log-book.
