System and method to track time and attendance of an individual at a workplace for a scheduled workshift

A system to track time and attendance of an individual at a workplace, the system comprising:

• a location tracking system having a stationary wireless device that detects a presence of a portable electronic device uniquely associated with and carried by the individual, the portable electronic device including a first microprocessor connected to an interface;
• a time clock system that records a registration time of the individual at the workplace;
• and
• a main controller having a second microprocessor in communication with the location tracking system and the time clock system, wherein if no recording of the registration time of the individual at the clock system within a predefined work shift time period for the individual, then in response the microprocessor of the main controller automatically executes a plurality of computer program instructions to perform the following:
• automatically transmitting an electronic communication to the portable electronic device that triggers an alert prompting for a feedback signal to be transmitted from the portable electronic device acknowledging need for the individual to record the registration time at the clock system;
• and
• detecting transmission of a threshold number of electronic communications without transmission of the feedback signal from the portable electronic device, and in response automatically communicating an escalation message in electronic format to a predefined recipient.

A method to track time and attendance of an individual at a workplace, the method comprising the steps of:

• detecting a location signal of a portable electronic device uniquely associated with and carried with the individual at a predefined area of the workplace;
• detecting the individual has not recorded a registration time at the clock system;
• and
• detecting if currently within a predefined scheduled work shift time period of the individual at the workplace;
• then in response, automatically transmitting an electronic communication to the portable electronic device that triggers an alert prompting for a feedback signal to be transmitted from the portable electronic device acknowledging need for the individual to record the registration time at the clock system.
