01-13-2025
NOTE
Attendance can only be recorded via app.

1. Punching in

  1. In the home screen (Employee Mode), select [Punch in].
  2. The system will determine your current location using GPS or QR code, and record your punch-in at the registered workplace. If face verification is enabled, you'll need to take a face photo.
  3. Once punched in, your status will change to Working.

Punch-in with QR Code
  1. In Employee Mode, click the [Punch in] button and scan the QR code attached to your workplace.
  2. QR code authentication will be done alongside GPS verification. After the location verification is complete, face verification (if enabled) will follow.

*Turning QR Code Punch-in ON/OFF

If you're punching in at a workplace that doesn't use QR code location verification or from a temporary workplace, set the QR code recognition button on the punch-in card to OFF.

With QR code OFF, only GPS and face verification (if enabled) will be used.

Punch-in from a Workplace That’s Not Registered

1) Click the Punch-in Button

In the main screen, click the [Punch in] button located in the middle to start the attendance recording.

🚨 When Multiple Workplaces Appear Nearby

When you click the punch-in button and multiple workplaces appear nearby, please select the registered workplace or temporary workplace where you want to punch in. If the desired location is not listed, select [Punch in from a new place].

2) Enter Workplace Name and Reason

If no registered workplaces are found nearby during location verification, the system will switch to the temporary workplace punch-in process. Enter the workplace name and reason, then proceed with face verification.

If it’s a frequently visited temporary workplace, select [Use this reason next time]. This will save the temporary workplace in the system for quick punch-in/out during future attendance records.

For more details on punching in from workplaces that are not registered, refer to the guide below:

2. Punching Out

  1. In the home screen(Employee Mode), select [Punch Out]. The system will determine your current location using GPS or QR code, and process your punch-out. If face verification is enabled, you’ll need to take a face photo. When you select [Punch Out], if it’s earlier than the scheduled punch-out time, you’ll need to enter the reason for early leave. Early leave notifications will sent to the leader.

Employee Guide

Editing Workplace Location Information

If your registered workplace location doesn't match your actual punch-in/out location, you can modify the location based on where you're actually working. Once approved by your leader/administrator, you will be able to use the corrected location for punch-in/out. If the leader/administrator finds the location to be inaccurate, they can reject the modification.

Increase GPS Accuracy and Try Again

If the location shown on the map differs from your current position, it's likely that the GPS signal is weak or there may be an error. To resolve this, improve your GPS accuracy by checking your real-time location information and trying again.

Admin/Leader Guide

Approving/Rejecting Workplace Location Information

You can review and manage workplace location information from the Dashboard or App Leader Mode on the [Approval > Workplace Location] page.

After reviewing the workplace location that the employee wants to modify, choose whether to approve or reject the request. Once approved, the employee can punch in/out at the requested location. The workplace certification will proceed based on the location approved by the admin/leader.

You can compare the saved workplace information with the employee’s requested location to verify the accuracy. The employee will also attach a photo of the workplace when submitting the request, allowing you to confirm whether they arrived at the location before submitting.

Mobile Device Setup Guide

For iOS / Android

Even if you're not connected to Wi-Fi, simply turning on Wi-Fi can improve location accuracy. This is especially helpful for workplaces in indoor or densely built areas where GPS alone might not be accurate. Turning on Wi-Fi can enhance the accuracy of your location.

Try opening a map app to check your current location.

For iOS Users: Enabling "Precise Location"
