Payroll Ready Attendance Reports for Multiple Locations
GPS attendance records where an employee was when they clocked in, not just when. Built for teams across India, with a 14-day free trial.
Payroll Ready Attendance Reports for Multiple Locations: overview
This guide covers GPS attendance for businesses: how it works in Attend Mitra, how it connects to payroll, and how to manage several locations in one place, and what to check before you pick a tool.
The short version: Attend Mitra gives you location at clock-in, geo-fenced work sites and high-accuracy guidance, running on employees' Android phones instead of a machine at the door. You can try it free for 14 days without a credit card.
Where GPS attendance goes wrong for businesses
Attendance marked from anywhere
Phone calls and WhatsApp messages can't prove an employee was actually on site.
Disputes over who reached the site
Without a location record, supervisors and staff argue about arrival times.
Hardware can't go where the team goes
A wall-mounted device only works at one gate, and field teams rarely pass it.
Travelling supervisors can't verify
Checking attendance in person across many sites costs a full day every week.
How GPS attendance works in Attend Mitra
GPS attendance records where an employee was when they clocked in, not just when. In Attend Mitra, the Android app takes a location fix at clock-in and compares it with the work location your company set up. If the employee is outside the allowed area, the clock-in is rejected and logged, so attendance can't be marked from home or from a tea stall down the road.
This suits teams that don't sit behind a single door: site staff, guards, technicians and anyone who reports to a location other than head office. For the best accuracy, the app asks for high-accuracy location and a few seconds to get a fresh fix, especially indoors.
What to check before you choose
- Does the app reject out-of-area clock-ins, or only flag them for later?
- Can one employee be allowed at several sites?
- How does it behave indoors where GPS is weaker?
- Is location captured only at clock-in and clock-out, which employees find more acceptable than all-day tracking?
- Can you combine GPS with face verification to stop someone clocking in for a colleague?
Connecting GPS attendance to payroll
The value of GPS attendance shows up at month end. When attendance, approved leave and overtime already sit in one system, payroll starts from approved numbers instead of a register someone has to total by hand.
Attend Mitra's attendance-linked payroll calculates salaries from that data, computes PF from your configured wage components and exports a salary register and PF contribution summary. If you prefer your current payroll software, export the attendance report instead.
- Payroll starts from verified attendance.
- PF computation and salary register export.
- Or export attendance into your existing payroll tool.
Managing GPS attendance across several locations
With several locations, the hard part of GPS attendance isn't recording attendance but seeing it in one place. Attend Mitra lets you set up each branch, store or site with its own geo-fence and checks, while head office sees every location's attendance in one console.
Branch managers handle their own team's exceptions and approvals, and the Enterprise plan adds multi-branch management for organisations running many sites.
- Separate geo-fence and checks for each location.
- One console across every branch.
- Multi-branch management on Enterprise.
