​
Track Attendance

You have three options via Payroll to track the attendance of your employees.

​
Dashboard Attendance

As a part of the default Payroll subscription, you can use the attendance module as applicable to your organisation. You can also enable or disable it from Settings on your Dashboard.

​
Custom Biometric Device

You can set up a biometric device and integrate it with Payroll to track attendance. The device can use fingerprints or swipe cards to automatically log the check-in/check-out timings of all the employees and contractors in your organisation. It automatically synchronises all data with Payroll so you can see your attendance data through the web interface as well. You can set up using the Device Configuration Flow.

​
APIs

If you have your internal mechanism for maintaining leave and attendance, but would like to synchronize that data with Payroll, then you can use our API. This automates data synchronisation. For more details on APIs, check under Settings → API.

​
Jibble Integration

Jibble can be connected to your Payroll account using API credentials. Unpaid employee leaves or loss of pay data can easily be fetched from Jibble and added as respective deductions. Know more about Jibble Integration for attendance.

​
Integrate and Configure Biometric Device

You can integrate a CAMS device or a third-party device with Payroll to sort time management, leaves and holidays for your employees. Explore the following about the custom device integration for attendance: Check the troubleshooting guide when setting up your CAMS biometric device.

Biometric Integration

Handy Tips
  1. Payroll supports these biometric devices.
  2. In particular, we recommend the F31 Facebot or RSP10i9. We are not compatible with the i32 Macronium.
In case you already have a third-party biometric device, you can test and configure it as mentioned in the Third-Party device integration flow below. As an Payroll user, you can directly purchase a device from the link given above. While adding the device to the cart, ensure you have added the Biometric Integration with Razorpay Payroll System option as well. This is necessary to set up the biometric device. After you receive the device, you just need to power it and connect it to the internet via WiFI/LAN. All your employees, contractors and new additions get automatically pushed to the device over this connection. Users must be associated with their fingerprints (or faces, depending on the device), and once this is done, the device automatically runs a trial for the check-in/check-out timings.
Handy Tips
In case you have more than one account on Payroll, you can integrate the same biometric device with multiple accounts.

Once the device setup is complete, we automatically push all of your Payroll data of employees and contractors to the device.
Watch Out!This process can take up to an hour. Please do not add the employee details manually to the device, since they need to be added by our system for the device to work properly.
  1. Once the employees details appear on the device, you can register their fingerprints/faces on the device. The device starts syncing the data with Payroll attendance instantly.
In case your there are troubles and errors in the setup process, you can refer to the troubleshooting guide provided below.

​
CAMS Biometric Device Troubleshooting Guide

If your CAMS biometric device has issues like synchronising check-in data with Payroll, or not displaying all of your employees/contractors, follow the steps mentioned below.

​
No Connectivity

Most of the time, the device has lost internet connectivity and that must be restored.
  • To check this, log in to the CAMS portal and check the Device Status tab as mentioned in the CAMS device integration flow.
  • On this page, check the device status (shown by a green dot), and the Last device connection time.
If the device appears offline or the last connected time is not in the past couple of minutes, please check the device’s internet connectivity.

​
Provide Auth Token

If the device is online and is not operating, follow these steps:
  1. Go to the Device Management tab.
  2. Click the Manage icon, and check the auth token. The auth token should be the same as what you see under Integration → CAMS → Manage on Payroll.
  3. Check your callback URL. It should have this value - https://api.opfin.com/api/camsunitv3.

​
Sync Employee Data

If all of the above methods have failed, you can try to re-sync the employee data with the biometric device.
  1. On the CAMS integration page, click on the re-sync button. This process can take up to 1 hour.
Watch Out!Do NOT add your employees details to the device manually. They have to be pushed by Payroll.
  1. If your employees details have been pushed to the device, register their biometrics on the device and do a trial check. The attendance data must be updated within 1 minute on Payroll.
If none of the above works, please contact us.
