3. How Does the Hand Punch Work?

4. Problem Definition Problem Definition Controlling employees' attendance by manual sheets have the following problems: – Employees are usually in a hurry upon arrival and on leaving, and hence require a system that takes the absolute minimum amount of time in registering their attendance. – Employee can easily clock in or out on behalf of another. – Calculating employees' working hours take weeks of real effort. – Reports are always vulnerable to data entry errors. – Inaccurate working hours cost thousands of Riyals monthly.

5. Objectives Objectives Provide a user friendly system that would be acceptable by employees. Limit employees manipulating their attendance. Prevent an employee from clocking in or out on behalf of another. Ease of control of employees' vacations, excuses and leaves. Reduce errors of manual calculations and reporting. Automate the process of data entry, data collection, data processing and report generation.

6. Objectives Objectives (continued) Improve fair judgment on employees' commitment to working hours. Confidence in attendance reporting eliminates the need for report revisions. Reduce cost by reducing ancillary staff cost. Provide real time data by reducing the time needed to provide any required information. Provide other departments with the necessary reports, such as payroll and human resources.

7. Scope Scope Automatically control employees' attendance in King Saud University (Malaz Campus) by providing different kinds of reports. These reports can be reviewed by the university administration and may be passed onto the university payroll department, as paper based or in electronic format according to the payroll requirements. In this project we will develop TAHPS using one hand punch terminal connected to several computers in a network.

9. Olysha’s Interview Olysha’s Interview There is a similar system used in Olysha; hence we have interviewed several employees there in order to know their opinion on the system and how they are utilizing it. we remarked the following points: The new system proved to be worthwhile, it saved time, effort, and reduced errors when calculating the employees' attendance and generating monthly reports. Not all the system's facilities are utilized due to the lack of full- time staff. The hand punch terminal is easy to used and takes a minimum amount of time

10. Al-MAlaz Interview We interviewed administrative employees from Al-Malaz to get their requirements and to know more about their current system: The current manual system and the attendance polices were understood (Deductions, excuses and vacations). The new system requirements were gathered
