Why attendance tracking matters for Uzbekistan businesses
Managing employee attendance manually is one of the top productivity drains for Uzbekistan SMEs. The average HR manager spends 6–10 hours per month on manual attendance records and payroll reconciliation — time that could be spent on higher-value work.
Beyond time savings, Uzbekistan's Labor Code requires employers to maintain an official time-and-attendance register (taбель учёта рабочего времени) and retain records for a minimum of 3 years. Automated systems generate compliant reports automatically.

What to look for in an attendance system
Before comparing products, here are the five criteria that matter most for businesses in Uzbekistan:
1. Local language support — Uzbek and Russian interfaces for the whole team 2. 1C integration — direct data transfer to 1C Accounting eliminates manual payroll entry 3. Local technical support — a team in Tashkent that responds in hours, not days 4. Biometric reliability — Face ID that works in low light and with masks 5. Transparent pricing — no surprise add-on fees for core features like Face ID

2. Workly — Most popular legacy option
Best for: Companies already using Workly that haven't yet evaluated alternatives.
Workly is the most widely installed attendance system in Uzbekistan. It covers the basics well: QR code, turnstile integration, basic reports.
Key advantages:
- Large user base, many local installers
- Solid QR and turnstile coverage
- Face ID is a paid add-on
- No task management module
- Payroll module is limited

3. Verifix — Good for hardware-first deployments
Best for: Companies where physical access control hardware (turnstiles, barriers) is the primary need.
Verifix has strong turnstile and hardware integration. The attendance software works but lacks higher-level HR features.
Key advantages:
- Wide hardware compatibility
- Good Face ID terminal options
- No task management
- Limited payroll module
- 1C and Bitrix24 integrations are add-ons
- Limited Uzbek language support

4. Hikvision iVMS — Hardware leader, software laggard
Best for: Security-first deployments where camera recording is the primary goal.
Hikvision cameras are excellent. Their attendance software (iVMS-4200) is designed primarily for security monitoring, not HR management.
Key advantages:
- Best-in-class camera hardware
- Wide installation network
- No payroll, task management, or HR features
- No QR or GPS attendance options
- No Uzbek or Russian interface
- Large upfront hardware investment
- Requires a local server
Rating: ⭐⭐ (2/5 for HR use)

5. 1C:Зарплата и управление персоналом — Best for accounting-first companies

1C's HR module is powerful for payroll and HR records but requires significant configuration for attendance tracking.
Key advantages:
- Deep payroll and HR functionality
- Native 1C integration (obviously)
- Complex setup requires certified 1C implementer
- No biometric (Face ID/fingerprint) attendance out of the box
- High implementation cost
---
6. Bitrix24 HR — Best for Bitrix24-heavy organizations
Best for: Companies already using Bitrix24 for CRM and project management.
Bitrix24's HR module includes basic attendance tracking via the mobile app.
Key advantages:
- Tight integration with Bitrix24 CRM and tasks
- Single platform for HR + CRM + projects
- No Face ID or QR terminal attendance
- No local support in Uzbekistan
- GPS attendance only through mobile app
---
7. Custom development — Maximum flexibility, maximum cost

Some large Uzbekistan companies (banks, telecoms) build custom attendance systems.
Key advantages:
- Fully tailored to requirements
- Deep integration with internal systems
- 6–18 months development time

For the vast majority of Uzbekistan businesses — from a 10-person retail outlet to a 500-person manufacturing company — TimePay offers the best combination of features, local support, and price.
