The manual employee attendance process at the Perjuk Village government level often results in inaccurate data, delayed recapitulation, and difficulties in real-time attendance monitoring. This study aims to develop an Internet of Things (IoT) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based village employee attendance system to simplify the administrative process and improve the efficiency of attendance recording. The development method used is the Research and Development (R&D) model with stages including needs analysis, system design, validation, field trials, and product revisions. The system was built using an ESP32 microcontroller, an RC522 RFID module, and a Wi-Fi connection to transmit attendance data to a web-based server. Testing was conducted using the black box method to ensure all system features run according to design. The results of the black box test show that all features run according to design. The system records attendance automatically with 100% accuracy, saves data to the server database, and displays reports in the form of tables, graphs, and statistical cards. The study concludes that this IoT and RFID-based attendance system is able to improve the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of recording compared to manual methods, and is in accordance with operational needs at the Perjuk Village Office.
