REVIEW OF LITERATURE
In our life today, computer is one of the many inventions that greatly affected our
way of living. In fact, it is regarded as an essential tool in many areas including business,
industry, government, sciences, education, school, home, and in almost any organization
and establishment that exists. It can perform operation and process data rapidly,
accurately and reliably and by using these machines, spending a lot of time and effort in
doing certain task is minimized. Attendance Monitoring System is a system that manages
and monitors the attendance of an employee in a certain establishment. It serves as a time
log that is set up as a computerized database. It maintains a daily record of a person's
arrival and departure time from work or school. This study is conducted for the existing
manual attendance monitoring system in form of a fully developed computerized
attendance monitoring system of the La Salette of Ramon High School Department and is
intended to be used by the institution’s administrators, members of the faculty and staff
(http://www.studymode.com/essays/Attendance-Monitoring-System-3-730858.html).
The significant increase in the number of Faculty and Staff has created not only
job opportunities for teaching and non-teaching professions, but also resulted to the
different problems stemmed from this trend. To resolve this problem, the management of
the university has implemented numerous changes. These changes involve adopting and
acquiring new technologies such as the computerization of the different transactions
particularly the newly implemented enrollment. This helps the colegio to reduce
administration time and associated costs. Monitoring of students attendance, specifically
those pertaining to special activities is one of the problems that need immediate actions.
Every academic year, the university has its scheduled activities and every student is
required to attend most of the time. This includes orientation activity for the first year
students and transferees, intramurals, seminar-workshops, and other related special
activities. Using Computerized Attendance Monitoring System to replace the manual
attendance monitoring of Colegio de San Juan de
