What is Time and Attendance?
The systems and processes organizations use to track when employees start work, take breaks, and finish their shifts, providing the data that feeds payroll processing, labor compliance, and workforce analytics.
Why it matters in hiring
Time and Attendance comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
