  Manage attendance for night shifts : at sql level

  May 19, 2020 06:16 PM|demoninside9|LINK

  Hi All,

  I have prepared an attendance system where an employee can put his IN TIME in the morning and can put OUT TIME in the evening.

  Logic 1 : Without putting  IN  TIME he can not put OUT TIME and once he had done with IN-OUT TIMES he can not repeat it for the same day.

  It is working perfectly without issue.

  Now a new requirement came that there are also some workers (security guards) who need to take attendance at night. Lets say a security guard comes at evening 19:00 and go 04:00 in the morning.

  How to put the same Logic 1 for security guards too. (SQL SQL level)

  Currently, I am doing like below.

  IN TIME

  BEGIN
     SET @In_Date_Time=DATEADD(MI, 330, SYSUTCDATETIME())
  
     IF NOT Exists (SELECT user_id,Name,In_Date_Time from tbl_Attendance where user_id=@user_id AND   cast(In_Date_Time AS DATE)=cast(@In_Date_Time AS DATE) )
     BEGIN
  
     INSERT INTO tbl_Attendance (user_id,In_Date_Time,Name,Location,in_picture,attendance_type,location_name,tbt_talk,working_note)
     VALUES (@user_id,@In_Date_Time,@Name,@Location,@in_picture,@attendance_type,@location_name,@tbt_talk,@working_note)
  
     END

  OUT TIME

  BEGIN
     SET @In_Date_Time=DATEADD(MI, 330, SYSUTCDATETIME())
  
  
     UPDATE tbl_Attendance
     SET out_date_time=@out_date_time, out_picture=@out_picture, out_working_note=@out_working_note,out_location=@out_location
     WHERE user_id=@user_id AND cast(In_Date_Time AS DATE)=cast(@In_Date_Time AS DATE) 
    
     
     END

  checking if already have IN TIME

   SET @In_Date_Time=DATEADD(MI, 330, SYSUTCDATETIME())
  
     IF NOT Exists (SELECT user_id from tbl_Attendance where user_id=@user_id AND   cast(In_Date_Time AS DATE)=cast(@In_Date_Time AS DATE) )
     BEGIN
     SELECT '0'
     END
     ELSE
     BEGIN
     SELECT '1'
     END

  Checking if already done OUT TIME

  SET @In_Date_Time=DATEADD(MI, 330, SYSUTCDATETIME())
     IF  NOT Exists (SELECT user_id from tbl_Attendance where user_id=@user_id AND cast(In_Date_Time AS DATE)=cast(@In_Date_Time AS DATE) AND out_date_time<>'')
     BEGIN
     SELECT '0'
     END
     ELSE
     BEGIN
     SELECT '1'
     END

  Please suggest

  It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

  Seems basic enough.  The user creates a clock-in record.  The user must clock-out before being able to clock-in again. 

  If you need to catch clock-ins without clock-outs then create a schedule job that looks for a clock-in record that does not have a clock-out record.
