NDA / BJP governments at Centre and at States , are
trying to make a hit out of Biometric Attendance
A DNA report ( 27 April 2017 ) says :
“ Now , time is money for civic staff
Latecomers to face salary cuts as
biometric attendance will be made mandatory from next month
Employees who are on-field can apply for
outdoor ( OD ) attendance through the MCGM HR app
The HoD will receive an SMS soon after an
employee applies for OutdorDuty through the app
The HoD can
then accept or reject the request made by the employee “
It seems a pity that despite several emails , the Policy Makers are
unable to grasp the ENORMOUS IMPACT ( Social / Economic / Political ) of my
following suggestion :

BAD =
Biometric Attendance Device
MAD = Mobile
Attendance Device
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my idea of a technology that
we need to create for a better India :
Today Employee Attendance Systems in
India work at three levels as follows :
# Entirely Manual
Attendance
Register and Wage/Salary payment in cash or by Cheque
# Partly Automated
Punch cards
or Bio-metric recording of attendance but manual calculation
of wages /
salaries and payment by cash or cheque
# Fully Automated
Bio-metric Attendance Devices ( BAD ) , integrated with a home-grown
or
bought-out
Salary Payment Software , running on a local Server.
Salary
payments could be by cheques or thru Electronic Transfer to
concerned
employee's bank account
Once in a while , if a company has
several establishments within a city , those local servers are connected to a
Central Server , doing all processing
In a rare case ( although , I am not
aware of any ) , it may be that all the local servers of all the establishments
of a company , all over the country , are networked with its central computer
in its head-quarter
Now imagine this :
# All smart phones to evolve as Bio-metric Attendance
Devices , with built-in
Bio-metric Recorders , GPS , a mobile attendance
App ( called MAD ? )
# App to have 2 buttons ( Green =
IN / Red = OUT )
# Employee to touch IN upon reaching his work-station and
touch OUT ,
while leaving work place , at the end of work-shift .
That's all !
# Being GPS enabled , buttons will get activated ONLY when the
employee
has reached the work place ( not while he is on his
way ! )
# All 100 million establishments in India ( factories / offices /
shops / clinics
NGOs / Govt Depts ) to ensure that the MAD app is
installed on the smart
phone of each employee , when he joins
# All of these smart phones to
be connected ( IoT ? ) , with the Servers of ,
* Labour
Ministries ( Central and States )
* HRD
Ministry ( Central )
* Skills
Development Ministry / NSDC
* Finance
Ministries ( Central + States )
* NITI Aayog
* Income Tax
Department
* Any other
server that you may want to
# MAD app is integrated with a STANDARD / COMMON , software
system
for computing daily wages / monthly salaries of
ALL the persons working
in those 100 million establishments ( whether
they are casual /
contractual / trainee / apprentice /
probationer / permanent / retained
# As each person joins in any of these establishments , data
re that
person must be inputted by the Employer into
the App , such as :
* Name / Contact Details / DOB / Aadhar
Card No / Employee Number
( Each unique Employee
Number will be auto-generated by the
common Salary Payment
Software , running on IT Dept Server )
* Employee's Jandhan Yojana Bank
Account Number for salary EC
* Employer's Jandhan bank account /
Unique Employer Number
* Payment Mode ( Hourly / Daily /
Monthly Rated , wages / salaries )
* Leave provisions / PF rate / TDS
rate / Allowances / Reimbursements
* Any other relevant data ( either
about employee of for employer )
WHAT
ARE THE ADVANTAGES ?
# For employees , no need
to file a separate annual Income Tax Return
# Direct deposit of PF /
TDS amounts into bank accounts of Govt Depts
# Direct Benefit Transfer
( DBT ) to every Employer for Stipend Subsidy ,
based on
number of total trainees / apprentices employed
# Total number of
employees in India ( category / region / industry )
# Employment Density (
Industry wise / Region wise / Skill wise etc )
# Net Employment Growth
Rate ( weekly - monthly / Industry-wise )
# Co-relation with no of
persons graduating at various levels
# Data about those
Unemployed ( " Graduating " less " Employed " )
# Overtime Statistics (
Use / Abuse )
# Work-hour Analysis (
Ave hours / week - month )
# Wage / Salary Rates (
Rs per hour ) - Industry wise / Region wise
( of great interest
to Foreign Investors looking to bring down
manufacturing costs , by outsourcing to India / manufacturing in India )
# Compliance with labour
laws / tax laws / Apprentice Act etc
# Job Market Forecasts
through BIG DATA ANALYTIC ( region / industry )
# Demographic
Profiles of employees ( Rural to Urban migration )
# Per Capita Income
Growth for persons using MAD app ( MOM / YOY )
# Changing composition
between Blue Collar and White Collar employees
