HRMS systems Attendance tracking limitations

Leave is based on hours worked instead of years of service

Unless you have a stand alone HR application without payroll or time collection, that system is rarely, if ever, going to track hours worked. Without this field, you run into the obvious problem that you can't track attendance accruals if the employees' accrual or lump sum rates are based on time worked. If you track accrual rates or lump sum rates by hours worked, you might be better off to see if your payroll or time collection system provides the capability.

Non standard vacation plans

If you have a plan that falls outside of the typical accrual or lump sum plans addressed earlier, you may run into problems finding any HRIS system to track this information. Just be sure to run your plan details by the HRIS vendors you evaluate before making your HRIS selection. If you are unable to find a system to track your unique plan, you may have to either custom create an application or change the plan itself. As a general rule, the attendance plan tracking of the systems I have reviewed are not very flexible when it comes to tracking the wide variety of unique attendance plans individual companies may maintain. As part of your needs assessment, be sure to address this issue with each vendor.
