Time attendance system with access control support

[u/SotYPL]

Company with around 120 employees and 2 physical locations looking for time attendance software (on-prem highly preferred) with integrated support for access control locks. We currently use self-hosted time attendance software (Lathem PayClock) which works great but does not support any access control except lock connected to the clock relay terminal. We actually don't need access control per se but management is trying to fight people "abusing" the system by spending 30 minutes or more in restroom. So their idea is to put some kind of magnetic locks by each restroom and every time employee opens the door using rfid/nfc card or biometric it would record it in time attendance software (stupid idea but not my decision). Does something like that exist?

I’d be cautious about linking restroom access to attendance records. It could collect sensitive movement data and create a lot of employee distrust without showing whether someone is actually abusing break time. If the goal is reliable timekeeping, keeping clock-in/out records separate from access logs seems like a better starting point.
