Key takeaways
- Work From Home attendance should be enabled only for authorized employees.
- Face verification helps confirm the correct employee is marking attendance remotely.
- Managers need a clear approval and audit workflow for remote attendance.
Hybrid work gives employees flexibility, but it also creates challenges for attendance tracking. Businesses need a system that supports approved remote employees without weakening attendance controls for the entire organization.
Avoid Company-Wide WFH Permission
Instead of enabling remote attendance for everyone, assign Work From Home permission to individual employees.
This allows a small group of authorized remote employees to punch from outside the office while other staff remain restricted to office locations.
Recommended WFH Attendance Workflow
- The manager enables WFH permission for selected employees.
- The employee logs in using the mobile app.
- The employee captures a live photo during Punch In.
- The system records time, location, and Face ID verification result.
- The attendance record appears in the manager dashboard.
Important Controls
- Employee-specific WFH eligibility
- Face verification during punching
- Current GPS location capture
- Device and login audit trail
- Shift and working-hour rules
- Manager approval for exceptions
