Absence Attendance Management Software in PHP

During the new normal era in the Covid-19 era, several companies experienced problems in the form of queues when using the attendance list scan tool every morning and evening. The human resource management department needs to take strategic steps in the form of the latest innovations. That is what underlies us to design an Android-based attendance application using GPS online. The GPS on the smartphone will monitor the user's position so that it can be used to find out the position of attendance. The mobile phone number and Mac address of the employee's cellphone will be recorded in the system and become the employee ID. The use of a smartphone is better than the use of the RFID or microchip on the ID card because very often the ID card is left in the office, while the smartphone is always carried anywhere. We chose extreme programming using an object-oriented approach that includes planning, designing, coding, and testing. Besides, we also added features for submitting work leave, late permits, and absences from work by attaching evidence. The result obtained is the attendance application which makes it easier for employees to do attendance and this innovation is very helpful for human resource management in the Covid-19 era. In testing the application with 30 samples, it was found that 27 users could display the right position, while the other 3 positions were not suitable.
