Key takeaways
- Traditional PIN, card, and QR attendance systems can still be shared between employees.
- AI face verification compares a live punch photo with an approved employee enrollment.
- Combining Face ID, GPS geofencing, and audit logs creates a stronger attendance verification workflow.
Proxy attendance, also known as buddy punching, happens when one employee marks attendance for another employee. This creates incorrect attendance records, payroll disputes, and reduced accountability.
Why Traditional Attendance Methods Are Not Enough
Many organizations still depend on attendance methods that verify a card, code, or device instead of verifying the actual person.
- Shared PINs: Employees can share attendance credentials.
- RFID cards: A card can be handed to another person.
- Static QR codes: Screenshots can sometimes be reused.
- Manual registers: Records are difficult to verify and audit.
How AI Face Attendance Works
With Identra Pro, an employee first submits a clear face enrollment photo. The request can be reviewed and approved by an authorized manager.
During Punch In or Punch Out, the employee captures a live photo from the mobile app. The system then compares the live image with the approved enrollment image.
Face Enrollment Workflow
- The employee captures a clear front-facing photo.
- The manager reviews and approves the enrollment request.
- The approved face becomes the reference for attendance verification.
- Every attendance punch is checked against that reference.
Why Face Verification Should Be Combined with GPS
Face matching confirms who is marking attendance. GPS geofencing helps confirm where the attendance is being marked.
When both checks are used together, organizations can reduce attendance marked by the wrong person or from an unauthorized location.
Strong attendance verification should confirm the employee, the location, the time, and the device activity.
