Module:
6.1: Develop android application:
 Develop an android application for the
attendance app. 8. References

 The application used in employee time-in

and employee time-out
6.2: Scanning the QR code:
 The QR code is embedded in the employee

 Develop a web application for the admin
app
7. CONCLUSIONS

In this system, we are implementing the new

employee attendance monitoring system to meet
the organization's requirements. The proposed
system will help to reduce the time required to
take attendance. Using this system, the
owner/manager can monitor employee attendance
in real-time. With the help of a QR code,
authentication can be done. In the future, we will
implement or this will be uploaded to the play
store and can be used offline.
