From Scheduling to Payroll: A Full Workflow Breakdown of DGX HRMS Attendance for the Construction Industry

New Challenges in Construction Industry Attendance Management

Hong Kong's construction industry is thriving, and site managers face increasingly complex attendance and payroll calculation needs. In particular, under the Construction Workers Registration Ordinance (Cap. 583), main contractors must submit Daily Attendance Records (DAR) on time, or they may face penalties. Traditional manual recording methods are not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. DGX HRMS Attendance and Payroll Management System is designed specifically for the construction industry, providing an integrated solution from scheduling to payroll to help you easily meet compliance requirements.

System Composition and Module Division

DGX HRMS consists of multiple modules, covering attendance devices, role permissions, reports, Email services, and more. The system modules are clearly divided, including:

• SystemSetting System Settings: Basic parameter configuration to align the system with company policies.
• ShiftAndAttendance Shift and Attendance Settings: Flexibly set shift rules, rest days, and overtime policies.
• DeviceAndCard Devices and Card Tapping: Supports multiple attendance devices, with worker card-tapping records synchronized in real time.
• AttendancePersonnel Attendance Personnel: Manage worker profiles, including registration information and validity dates.
• LeaveAndHoliday Leave and Holidays: Handle various leave applications and leave balances.
• AttendanceStatistic Attendance Statistics: Automatically generate attendance reports for easy verification and DAR submission.
• SalaryAndFinance Salary and Finance: Automatically calculate salaries, overtime pay, and deductions based on attendance data.
• SalaryAndFinanceStatistic Salary and Finance Statistics: Produce payroll-related statistical reports to support financial management.
• ConstructionIndustry Hong Kong Construction Industry: Features designed specifically for the construction industry, including DAR submission support.
• FoundationData Foundation Data: Maintain basic data such as departments, positions, and worker categories.

Construction Industry Solution: Automated Handling of Worker Departures and DAR Submission

In the CWRG system, when a worker leaves, site managers should not directly delete historical records; instead, they must update the "End Date" in the worker's registration record to the departure date. Under Hong Kong law, main contractors must deactivate or update the worker's site access in the system on the day of departure or within the next submission cycle (within 7 days) to ensure the worker can no longer tap cards at that site. The AttendancePersonnel Attendance Personnel module of DGX HRMS allows you to easily update the end date and link with the DeviceAndCard Devices and Card Tapping module to deactivate access, preventing unauthorized card-tapping records from affecting DAR accuracy. At the same time, the AttendanceStatistic Attendance Statistics module automatically consolidates attendance data to help you submit DAR on time and comply with legal requirements.

Automated Process from Card Tapping to Payroll Calculation

DGX HRMS achieves full-process automation: after workers tap their cards, data is transmitted to the system via DeviceAndCard Devices and Card Tapping; ShiftAndAttendance Shift and Attendance Settings determine attendance status according to preset rules; LeaveAndHoliday Leave and Holidays handles leave applications; AttendanceStatistic Attendance Statistics generates reports; and finally SalaryAndFinance Salary and Finance automatically calculates salaries, reducing human error. Management can review payroll costs through SalaryAndFinanceStatistic Salary and Finance Statistics to optimize resource allocation.

Role and Permission System: Hybrid Policy and Role Architecture

DGX HRMS adopts a hybrid policy and role architecture, allowing administrators to configure permissions flexibly. Roles can be defined in SystemSetting System Settings, requiring both specific roles and permissions to ensure that sensitive operations (such as modifying worker end dates) are restricted to authorized personnel only. This not only enhances security but also meets internal control requirements.

Reports and Email Services

The system provides two reporting tools, Crystal Reports and Excel Template Reports, allowing users to customize formats and easily produce the documents required for DAR. The Email Account module supports configuring Email sending services to automatically send reports to designated mailboxes, simplifying communication processes.

Software Information and Licensing

DGX HRMS provides clear software function licensing information. Administrators can view authorized functions through FunctionList Authorized Function List and use the Head Office Statistics Information API to obtain aggregated data for convenient group management.
