Abstract
An automated time and attendance system is beneficial to the employees and the
administrators of an organization because it reduces human errors and streamlines time
calculation. The efficiency of this system is known to be determined by the method of
recording the attendance. Most organizations in Ghana use identity cards for verifying
employees and recording attendance. The manual method of recording attendance using a
pen and paper is prone to human errors. These methods do not provide the best solution in
terms of security because they are vulnerable to impersonation. This Capstone report
explores the use of fingerprint authentication in attendance systems using the Internet of
Things and web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP to ensure reliability,
efficiency, accountability, and productivity at a workplace. A low-cost attendance system
that allows employees to sign in to their work environment was built successfully using
esp32, OLED display, a hex keypad, and the R307 fingerprint sensor module. The system
also enables employers to manage the employees of an organization and generates reports
for salary calculation and other purposes.
