CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In the present living standard, people find and discover
different ways of improving their lifestyle. Wherein, the
modern technologies, such as gadgets, robotics, machines,
takes a significant role and effects technology adaptation. It
considered as an essential tool in different fields including
education, industry, sciences, businesses, government,
organizations, and home. Thus many organizations, today,
biometrics is used to track employee time and attendance
instead of the existing absolute system (DTR and logbook)
that rely on manual processing. Whereas, this attendance
data monitoring can directly upload to workforce
management.
The biometric technology and payroll processing can
eliminate the use of the manual buddy punching system
and exert more control on payroll computation. Different
Studies prove that biometric technology increases the
payroll computation accuracy due to the psychological
attributes are unique for every individual that cannot be
forged 1 or duplicate by any user.
The biometric identification system is one of the most
accurate systems 2 that can identify an employee. Also, this
system helped the employee to accurately track their time
and attendance that can prevent time theft issues such as
early arrival and departure together with an unauthorized

Background of the Study Repetitive word: systems

The Monlimar Development Academy Inc. was founded on

January 16, 2006, by Mr. and Mrs. Roldan, located at 1632,
317 M. L. Quezon St, Lower Bicutan, Metro Manila,
currently with seven hundred (700) students enrolled.
Wherein, the Faculty and staffs composes of Four (4)

School Admins for office staff, Eight (8) School Admin for Repetitive word: attendance

Academic Council, nine (9) faculty members for Passive voice

elementary department, Fourteen (14) faculty members for

Junior High School Department, Seventeen (17) faculty
members for Senior High School Department, and Four (4)
employee for maintenance.
The school principal other task is to manage and monitor
the employee's time record which is done manually using
the printed forms with employee's name together with their
time-in and out using a bond paper secured with a folder.
This monitoring method shows that the employees may
have a chance to change their information which the
proponent and School Principal agreed that all information
was not secured and that motivates the proponents to
provide a new log-in and log-out system.
Therefore, the proponents propose a biometric-based
Attendance monitoring and payroll management system.
The proposed system will automate the whole tracking
process using biometric technology for employees'
identification and verification such as their Time in and
out.
Statement of the Problem
Managing the Monitoring and Summarizing the report
manually 5 is one of the problems that the administration is
encountering. In which it requires a lot of time and work
for the school principal. Also, the current system is facing
problems 6 such as (a) lack of security, (b) time validity, (c)
buddy punching, (d) human error, (e) time consuming, and
(f) payroll errors.
Lack of security the current manual attendance monitoring
system has a lack of security; the records are accessible by
anyone and anybody can see the time record.
Time validity the employees manually log the time in and
out, and the administration cannot identify if the time that
is being logged 7 into the record is the exact time that the
Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Mar 27, 2019, 8:23 AM Page 4 of 28

much time by signing from falling in line.
Buddy punching the administration did not observe any
employee who does the buddy punching, yet it has a
considerable threat amount and consequence that is needed 6
Repetitive word: problems
to be considered 8.
Human error there is always a potential for human error.
Employees may inaccurately enter their time on a log book
or accidentally sign other employee's record.
Time-consuming creating a summary to be passed 9 on the
finance officer is slow as it is needed for the principal to
manually type the absences and tardiness list 10.
Payroll Errors payroll errors occur when the attendance
summary have errors due to human error at log book by 7

the employee is absent, it's a threat for the institution.

In 2017, a study was done by Maggay 131 that aim to 114
Passive voice
develop a fully customized Biometric Attendance
Monitoring System (BAMS) of Cagayan State University –
Lasam Campus, Philippines (CSU - Lasam) using the
biometric fingerprint reader to facilitate the monitoring of
employees' attendance. A combination of Visual Basic 6.0
as the programming language and MS Access as the
Database Management Systems were used 132 in the
development of the system. Thus, the overall functionality
of the BAMS enables the users to enter data, change and 115

manipulate the data, get information, and store the data and
the information. Username and password are no longer
needed since all transactions use a unique fingerprint to
validate users. Furthermore, BAMS greatly contributes to
giving employees' ease and improving work values. 116
Unoriginal text: 83 words
Likewise, the BAMS is essential in achieving good 117

governance because it helps track day-to-day attendance of
the employees (Maggay, 2017)
The BAMS has been successfully developed 133 and
deployed. However, it can be improved to have a better and
more advanced application. For future improvement, the
researcher has the following recommendations: 1) there
should be a customized packaging of the BAMS. Instead of
using separate computer peripherals such as keyboard,
mouse, monitor, system unit (which contains the CPU) and
the biometric fingerprint reader, the suggested packaging
Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Mar 27, 2019, 8:23 AM Page 18 of 28

who are categorized 139 into two types: Regular Employee
and Employee with Job Order. They use a manual system
for their payroll. Because of the numerous employees

system was proposed to improve their manual payroll
process. Network-based Payroll System for Noveleta
Municipal Office was developed to provide accurate and
efficient salary computation. It aimed to lessen the work
done and time allotted in doing the payroll. It provides
security and easy file maintenance. It also generates
necessary reports. The proposed system was developed
using Microsoft Visual Basic.net programming language,
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for the Database, and Crystal
Reports v.9 for the report generation. (Atog, Cruz, &

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND DESIGN
In this chapter, the system follows a series of step-by-step
process to finish the system 178 and attain its objectives.
Techniques and tools were used 180 in each step 179 for the
development of the system.
INSTRUMENT USED
To obtain the necessary data in this study, the researchers
used the following methods. The researchers used the
interview method to gather information and data needed in
this study. Interview method was conducted to ensure the
responses to certain 181 questions intended to obtain
information about the problem. With this method, the
researchers can identify the existing problem of the 140

This 183 is composed of the profile of the officials and
queries for data gathering. It is a set of questions arranged
in a sequence.
Online Research
It allows the proponents to practice their interest in regards
to the system improvement, to learn additional knowledge,
to enhance problem-solving skills and to challenge
