Have questions?
We have answers.

What is an attendance tracking system and what is it for?

An attendance tracking system helps record and organize everything that happens during employees’ workdays. Clock-ins, clock-outs, hours worked, late arrivals, absences, and overtime are all kept in one place. With Runa, HR can automatically detect incidents, generate reports, and send that information straight to payroll. That prevents scrambling to pull data from different files right at close.

Does Runa Attendance comply with Mexico’s new 40-hour workweek reform?

Runa Attendance is designed to help companies prepare for changes related to the workday in Mexico. The platform lets you keep electronic records of clock-ins and clock-outs, set schedules and shifts, track hours worked, and record overtime. It also helps detect incidents and keep a clear history of what happened in each workday. For HR, having traceable information becomes even more valuable when rules change and it’s time to review how schedules are actually being managed in practice.

How does Runa’s attendance tracking work?

Runa compares each employee’s punches with the shift, schedule, and attendance policies configured by the company. From there, the system can detect late arrivals, absences, incomplete records, and overtime. The HR team can review those incidents from a single platform and decide what to do in each case. This reduces much of the manual work that usually comes up when it’s time to reconcile schedules.

What attendance tracking methods does Runa offer?

Runa lets you track attendance from a mobile app, the web, geolocation, facial recognition, and biometric devices. This gives HR flexibility to adapt punching to how each company works. It can work for offices, plants, stores, branches, and also for teams working remotely. Not every operation looks the same, so having multiple ways to track attendance helps the process fit day-to-day work.

Can I connect my current time clocks or biometric devices to Runa?

Yes. Runa can integrate with time clocks, biometric devices, and other attendance tracking systems. Punches can be centralized in one platform and later connected to payroll software, so HR doesn’t have to review the information separately. This way, the company can keep using part of its current infrastructure and manage the data from Runa.

How does Runa calculate and manage overtime?

Runa identifies overtime by comparing each employee’s punches with their schedule and the rules defined by the company. When overtime appears, managers can review it before it goes to payroll. They can also approve or reject it as needed. This provides clearer control and prevents overtime from reaching the final calculation without a prior review.

How does Runa’s attendance tracking integrate with payroll?

Runa connects attendance tracking information directly to payroll to reduce manual data entry. Hours worked, late arrivals, absences, incidents, and approved overtime can be consolidated before preparing pre-payroll. With that information already organized, the team can continue payroll calculations with greater traceability. For HR and Payroll, this means working from the same data and avoiding the classic back-and-forth of files as close approaches.
