Attendance Process Taking Too long

Another thing to add, although I'm not too much of a fan of async and await in PHP, is that 8.1 ships withs 'fibres'

So you could potentially async and await parts of the processes to speed it up (not tested though)

As much as I want to update to PHP 8.1, I can't afford to. I don't think my codebase is PHP 8 proof. My current PHP version is 7.4.19
