Why societies need staff attendance tracking
- No single roster — guards, housekeeping, and AMC technicians tracked in separate notebooks
- Lost gate registers — paper sheets torn, wet, or filed nowhere before AGM
- Helpdesk mismatch — tickets assigned to staff who were absent that day
- Vendor disputes — no proof of how many guards were on duty during an incident
- Payroll friction — treasurer reconciles attendance from WhatsApp photos at month-end
- No audit — committee cannot show who marked attendance or when it was corrected
Plinth links the staff roster (shared with helpdesk) to daily attendance marks that
write to the append-only audit log. Admins see today's board at /admin/staff-attendance and
correct a mark by updating the same day — still logged.
