Attendance records for Indian homes
Maid attendance should not depend on memory
Daily maid attendance is often tracked in chats, notebooks, or someone else's memory. That creates confusion when a maid says she came, the family disagrees, or salary day arrives with missing records.
A simple attendance record helps families stay fair and helps helpers avoid unfair blame. The BHS App is being opened for selected external customers who want that structure in one place.
Copy this maid attendance format
Use this format for one month to see where disputes happen: timing, leave, tasks, or unclear expectations.
- Date
- Expected arrival time
- Actual arrival time
- Present, leave, or absent
- Task checklist status
- Reason for delay or leave
- Salary adjustment note if any
What This Helps You Keep Clear
Each guide focuses on a real household management problem and gives a format you can use before broad app access.
Less arrival confusion
A visible attendance record reduces repeated arguments about whether someone came late or missed a day.
Salary-day clarity
Month-end discussion becomes easier when present days, leave days, and advances are written down.
Task visibility
Attendance alone is not enough. Families also need a quick way to see what work was expected and completed.
Practical workflow
Start simple, then add structure
The safest adoption path is not to force a new system overnight. Start with a small record, then use the app rollout to make the routine easier.
Set the maid's expected working days and arrival time.
Record present, leave, absent, or late status each day.
Attach task notes when work is partial or disputed.
Use the month-end summary before salary discussion.
The Full Format to Copy
Save this format in your notes or WhatsApp. It is intentionally plain so it can work even before the app rollout reaches your family.

Questions Families Ask
Why use an app instead of a notebook?
A notebook can work for one person, but an app keeps attendance, leave, tasks, and salary notes searchable and easier to review at month end.
Can this be used for part-time maids?
Yes. Part-time helpers often create the most timing confusion, so a simple expected-time and actual-time record is useful.
Will this replace WhatsApp?
No. WhatsApp is still useful for communication. The app is for structured records that are hard to recover from chat history.
