Apparatuses and methods for regulated access management
Apparatuses, methods, and associated computer program products are provided for regulated access management. An example method includes receiving a request for access from a user device associated with an employee and receiving employee data associated with the employee. The method further includes determining if the employee is subject to a required absence regulation and generating an access attempt notification in an instance in which the employee is subject to the required absence regulation. Determining if the employee is subject to the required absence regulation includes identifying an employee status associated with the employee data and determining that the employee is subject to the required absence regulation based on the employee status.
1 . A method for electronic access management, the method comprising:
receiving, via a computing device, a request for access from a user device associated with an employee;
receiving, via the computing device, employee data associated with the employee;
detecting absence compliance activity associated with the request for access from the user device by:
determining, via regulation evaluation circuitry of the computing device, if the employee is subject to a required absence regulation, and
generating, via access circuitry of the computing device, an access attempt notification in response to determining that the employee is subject to the required absence regulation, wherein the access attempt notification specifies whether the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation;
in response to generating the access attempt notification, by the access circuitry:
permitting or rejecting the request for access, and
generating a remedial absence schedule for the employee to make up any required absences in response to determining that the access attempt notification specifies that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation; and
in response to determining that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation, further:
determining that a current role of the employee specifies otherwise that the employee is not subject to the required absence regulation, and
generating, via the access circuitry of the computing device, an absence schedule update to change the current role of the employee to an updated role, wherein the updated role specifies that the employee holds a role that is subject to the required absence regulation.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the employee data comprises querying, via absence analysis circuitry of the computing device, an employee data database.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the employee data comprises receiving, via the computing device, an absence plan from the user device associated with the employee.
4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining if the employee is subject to the required absence regulation further comprises:
identifying, via the regulation evaluation circuitry of the computing device, an employee status associated with the employee data; and
determining, via the regulation evaluation circuitry of the computing device, that the employee is subject to the required absence regulation based on the employee status.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the request for access is rejected in response to determining that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the request for access is permitted in response to determining that the employee satisfied the required absence regulation.
7 . An apparatus for regulated access management, the apparatus comprising:
communications circuitry configured to:
receive a request for access from a user device associated with an employee; and
employee data associated with the employee;
regulation evaluation circuitry and access circuitry configured to detect absence compliance activity associated with the request for access from the user device by:
determining, by the regulation evaluation circuitry, if the employee is subject to a required absence regulation; and
generate, by the access circuitry, an access attempt notification in response to determining that the employee is subject to the required absence regulation, wherein the access attempt notification specifies whether the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation,
wherein the access circuitry is further configured to:
in response to generating the access attempt notification:
permit or reject the request for access, and
generate a remedial absence schedule for the employee to make up any required absences in response to determining that the access attempt notification specifies that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation; and
in response to determining that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation, further:
determine that a current role of the employee specifies otherwise that the employee is not subject to the required absence regulation, and
generate an absence schedule update to change the current role of the employee to an updated role, wherein the updated role specifies that the employee holds a role that is subject to the required absence regulation.
8 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising absence analysis circuitry configured to query an employee data database to receive the employee data.
9 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the communications circuitry is further configured to receive an absence plan from a user device associated with the employee.
10 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the regulation evaluation circuitry is further configured to:
identify an employee status associated with the employee data; and
determine that the employee is subject to the required absence regulation based on the employee status.
11 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the access circuitry rejects the request for access in response to determining that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation.
12 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the access circuitry permits the request for access in response to determining that the employee satisfied the required absence regulation.
13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for using an apparatus for regulated access management, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
receive a request for access from a user device associated with an employee;
receive employee data associated with the employee;
detect absence compliance activity associated with the request for access from the user device by:
determining if the employee is subject to a required absence regulation; and
generating an access attempt notification in response to determining that the employee is subject to the required absence regulation, wherein the access attempt notification specifies whether the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation;
in response to generating the access attempt notification:
permit or reject the request for access, and
generate a remedial absence schedule for the employee to make up any required absences in response to determining that the access attempt notification specifies that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation; and
in response to determining that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation, further:
determine that a current role of the employee specifies otherwise that the employee is not subject to the required absence regulation, and
generate an absence schedule update to change the current role of the employee to an updated role, wherein the updated role specifies that the employee holds a role that is subject to the required absence regulation.
14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to query an employee data database to receive the employee data.
15 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
identify an employee status associated with the employee data; and
determine that the employee is subject to the required absence regulation based on the employee status.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to reject the request in response to determining that the employee failed to satisfy the required absence regulation.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to permit the request in response to determining that the employee satisfied the required absence regulation.
