Employee Attendance Management System
The Employee Attendance Management System is a web-based solution
developed using ASP.NET, designed to provide a streamlined and automated
approach to managing employee attendance within an organization. The system
is exclusively managed by an admin who holds the authority to create employee
records, set daily attendance (marking employees as absent or present), and assign
work shifts. This centralized control ensures that the management of employee
attendance is secure, organized, and free from unauthorized access or errors.
Through the admin interface, administrators can add new employees,
update their profiles, and manage attendance records efficiently. The system also
supports the allocation of various shifts, allowing the admin to manage different
work schedules for employees across departments. Attendance records are
maintained in a structured format, enabling the admin to generate detailed reports,
ensuring transparency and accuracy in tracking employee work hours.
Built on the ASP.NET framework, with C# as the backend logic and SQL
Server for data management, this system offers a scalable and secure environment
for attendance management. Role-based access control ensures that only
authorized personnel (admin) can manage sensitive employee data and attendance
details. Additionally, the system can be further enhanced to include features such
as real-time attendance updates via biometric devices or mobile access for
broader usability.

2.System Design
1. Architecture
The system follows a 3-tier architecture, which separates the application into
three logical layers to ensure scalability, maintainability, and security:
1. Presentation Layer (UI):
o Built using ASP.NET MVC.
o Admin interface for creating employees, managing attendance,
assigning shifts, and generating reports.
2. Business Logic Layer (BLL):
o Written in C#, this layer contains all the business logic and rules.
o Handles validation, processing attendance, shift assignments, and
communication between the presentation layer and the data access
layer.
o Ensures that only authorized actions are executed by the admin.
3. Data Access Layer (DAL):
o Manages interactions with the SQL Server database.
o Uses Entity Framework to communicate with the database.
o Contains methods for CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update,
Delete) on employee records, attendance, and shifts.
2. Database Design
The database is designed to store employee records, attendance, shifts, and admin
credentials. The main entities include:
Database Tables:
1. Admin Table:
o AdminID: Unique identifier for the admin (Primary Key).
o Username: Admin login name.
o Password: Admin password.
AdminID Username Password
1 Admin Admin@123
2. Employee Table:
o EmployeeID: Unique identifier for each employee (Primary Key).
o FullName: Full name of the employee.
o Department: Department the employee belongs to.
o Designation: Employee's job title.
o JoinDate: Date the employee joined the company.
o ShiftID: Foreign key linking to the Shift table.
EmployeeID FullName Department Designation JoinDate ShiftID
1 Priyanka IT Staff 2023-06-01 1
3. Attendance Table:
o AttendanceID: Unique identifier for each attendance record
(Primary Key).
o EmployeeID: Foreign key referencing the Employee table.
o Date: Date of the attendance entry.
o Status: Status of the employee for that date (Present/Absent).
AttendanceID EmployeeID Date Status
1 1 2024-09-01 Present
4. Shift Table:
o ShiftID: Unique identifier for the shift (Primary Key).
o ShiftName: Name of the shift (e.g., Morning, Evening, Night).
o StartTime: Time the shift starts.
o EndTime: Time the shift ends.
ShiftID ShiftName StartTime EndTime
1 Morning 08:00:00 16:00:00
3.Level 1 (DFD for Admin Operations):
• Admin Login: Admin enters credentials → System validates admin →
Grants access.
• Employee Management: Admin creates or updates employee records →
Data is stored in the Employee table.
• Attendance Management: Admin marks attendance for employees →
Data is updated in the Attendance table.
• Shift Management: Admin assigns shifts to employees → Shift data is
updated in the Shift table.
• Report Generation: Admin requests attendance reports → System
retrieves data from the Attendance and Employee tables and displays it.
4. Workflows
Admin Login Workflow:
1. Admin enters credentials (username and password).
2. System verifies credentials using data from the Admin table.
3. If valid, the admin is redirected to the dashboard; if not, an error message
is displayed.
Employee Creation Workflow:
1. Admin navigates to the “Add Employee” form.
2. Admin enters employee details (name, department, designation, etc.).
3. System validates the input and saves the data in the Employee table.
4. Confirmation is displayed to the admin.
Mark Attendance Workflow:
1. Admin selects a date and views a list of employees.
2. Admin marks each employee as “Present” or “Absent.”
3. System saves attendance records in the Attendance table for the selected
date.
4. Admin can review or modify attendance records if needed.
Shift Assignment Workflow:
1. Admin navigates to the “Assign Shift” page.
2. Admin selects an employee and assigns a shift.
3. System updates the employee's ShiftID in the Employee table to reflect the
assigned shift.
5. Security Design
1. Authentication:
o Only the admin can log in using secure credentials.
o Passwords are stored using hashing techniques to enhance security.
2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):
o Only the admin has access to system features, preventing
unauthorized access.
3. Session Management:
o Secure sessions are used to maintain admin login status. Sessions
expire after inactivity to prevent unauthorized use.
6. User Interface (UI) Design
1. Admin Dashboard:
Overview of employee count, total present, absent employees, and
assigned shifts.
2. Employee Management:
o Form to add or edit employee details.
3. Attendance Management:
o Page for marking employee attendance with a list of all employees
and attendance status for each day.
4. Shift Management:
o Page for assigning or updating employee shifts with a list of
employees and their current shift details.
5. Report Generation:
o Page to generate and download attendance and shift reports in
various formats (PDF, Excel).
5. Technology Stack
• Front-End: ASP.NET (Web Forms or MVC), HTML, CSS,
JavaScript,BootStrap
• Back-End: C#, Entity Framework.
• Database: SQL Server.
• IDE: Visual Studio.
• Version Control: GitHub/Git.
6.Conclusion
The Employee Attendance Management System you’ve developed provides
a robust solution for managing employee attendance, shifts, and related data.
The system allows for efficient tracking of employee attendance, including
the ability to mark employees as present or absent and assign shifts. This
improves overall accuracy in recording attendance data and reduces
administrative overhead.By restricting access to administrative functions, the
system ensures that only authorized personnel can manage employee records and
attendance data. This helps maintain data integrity and security.
