Why entrust your attendance and payroll to OPTimes
Plenty of software can display a clock-in. Few can survive a month of load shedding, a labour inspection and a payroll that must close on the 25th. Here is what we bring to the table.

HR data security: what really protects your employees
An attendance and payroll database holds an institution’s most sensitive information: the identity, pay and biometrics of its employees. Here are the protections that matter, and why.
Digital sovereignty: keeping HR data in DR Congo
Attendance, biometrics, pay: this data says everything about an institution. Knowing where it is hosted, and under which law, is not a technical detail.
From clock-in to payslip: payroll without re-entry
Every re-entry between the time clock and the payslip is a chance for error, and a source of dispute. Here is how payroll is calculated when attendance already sits in the same record.
An attendance sheet that stands up to an inspection
A payslip can be disputed. An attendance sheet backed by terminal clock-ins, far less so. Here is what makes an attendance document hold up.
Load shedding and network outages: why no clock-in is lost
A platform that assumes a permanent connection will not last a quarter in Kinshasa, or in the provinces. OPTimes is built on the opposite assumption.
Late arrivals and absences: qualify before you sanction
A 9:18 clock-in is not misconduct in itself. It is information, which becomes a late arrival, a mission or a medical appointment depending on what is known about it.
Leave and service missions: moving beyond the paper trail
A leave request circulating on paper gets lost, signed late and never reaches payroll. Here is the workflow when everything lives in the same record.
Fingerprint, face or card: choosing your time clock terminal
The best terminal is not the most expensive one, but the one that suits your premises, your employees and your constraints. Here is how to decide.
Why digitise the time clock in public administration
The paper register signed at the entrance has had its day. Biometrics reduce fraud, make payroll reliable and give time back to HR teams. Here are the concrete benefits.
Biometric data: what to know before enrolling
A fingerprint cannot be changed like a password. Before enrolling your employees, here are the principles that protect both the institution and the people.
5 steps to a successful OPTimes rollout
A successful rollout is decided before installation: in the inventory, the schedules and the salary scale. Here is the plan we follow, day by day.
Multi-entity: managing several sites without mixing data
A ministry and its provincial departments, a university and its campuses, a group and its subsidiaries: one platform can serve them all, as long as each stays in its own space.
