Keywords:
Compliance, Predictive Analytics, Real-Time Data, Fraud Prevention, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Time And Attendance, Workforce Management, Accuracy, Productivity, Automation,Abstract
Using advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) in time and attendance systems is revolutionizing workforce management due to accuracy, productivity, and cutting costs. This research answers numerous advantages in this specific domain of AI that minimize inefficiencies and inexactitudes arising from conventional tracking methods. Implementing AI in the timekeeping mechanisms eradicates manual overhead and time theft, thus enhancing appropriate compliance with labor laws and improving human and resource management management. In addition, the real-time analysis of information and the ability to make predictions provide managers with vital tools that offer them a glimpse of future attendance trends, which in turn assists them in making purposeful decisions about human resource management plans and policies. With the integration of AI, sustainability is ascertained concerning its impacts on reducing dependence on paper systems and supporting environmentalism. Moreover, integrating AI with other HR systems expands operational effectiveness, enhances the simplified actions related to the payroll system, and helps avoid fraud by using biometric authentication. This study asserts that AI is essential for today's organizations striving to improve workforce management, boost employee satisfaction, and secure their competitiveness within a growing digital landscape. Using case studies and relevant examples, the paper shows how AI transforms time and attendance management, making a convincing argument for its broad industry adoption. The results illustrate the critical function of AI in developing a more effective, reliable, and sustainable way to oversee time and attendance in today's workplaces.
