- In this regard it is informed that on verification of the Dash Board of AP- FRS (www.apfrs.apcfss.in) website, the following issues are noticed:
(i) The enroliment of employees in AP-FRS App is not upto the mark, as number of employees are still to enroll in the Mobile App due to which implementation of attendance by AP-FRS App is not fully
operational in their offices.
(i) Further, all the enrolled employees are not marking their attendance
in the AP-FRS app and only at an average of 45 – 50% employees
only are making attendance in AP-FRS App.
(iii) Most of the employees are marking their attendance during the morning (Check in) only and not making their attendance at the time of leaving the office (Check out).
(iv) The provision for applying leave for CL & OH in the AP-FRS app is not
being utilized.
(v) Failure of DDOs/OPs/Establishment in-charges in verifying the
attendance made by the employees with reference to office location and
attendance marked at other locations.
- All the Departments of Secretariat, Heads of Departments and District Collectors are therefore requested to take necessary action on the above issues and ensure strict implementation of Attendance by Photography (Facial
Recognition based attendance) through AP-FRS App with 100% enrollment of
the employees and marking attendance through AP-FRS App only.
