AI Facial Recognition Attendance
Biometric face verification for staff clock-in and clock-out — eliminates buddy punching and manual attendance overrides.
Why it matters
Attendance fraud is a real cost in high-turnover environments. Face verification creates a defensible, tamper-resistant attendance record tied to payroll.
What it can do
Biometric enrollment
- ✓Multi-angle guided face enrollment — 6-step canvas-guided flow to capture reliable face data
- ✓Biometric consent audit log — every enrollment and consent action is recorded via recordBiometricConsent Cloud Function
- ✓Enrollment tied to the staff profile — one face ID per staff member per branch
- ✓Re-enrollment available if face data quality degrades over time
Clock-in & verification
- ✓Face verification prompt at every clock-in and clock-out — no PIN-only bypass without manager override
- ✓HMAC-SHA256 PIN verification for manager attendance override actions — signed and audit-logged
- ✓Configurable soft-limit rate limiting — flags repeated rapid clock events for review
- ✓Attendance records tied to biometric events — not editable by staff
Compliance & audit
- ✓Every biometric event is timestamped and attributed — DOLE-defensible attendance record
- ✓Attendance data feeds directly into payroll computation — no manual transfer
- ✓Audit log exportable for labor compliance review or dispute resolution
Real-world scenarios
Stopping buddy punching
A staff member tries to clock in for an absent colleague. The face verification rejects the mismatch. The attempt is logged. The manager sees it in the audit trail.
Overtime dispute resolution
A staff member disputes their overtime deduction. The manager pulls the biometric clock-out log — every event has a verified face match timestamp. The record stands.
What you get
- ✓Stop buddy punching and proxy clock-ins
- ✓Attendance records that hold up to payroll disputes
- ✓DOLE-defensible audit trail for every clock event

Frequently asked questions
- Is biometric data stored securely?
- Yes. Face data is processed via an encrypted pipeline and stored per DICT and NPC guidelines under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. Staff consent is captured and logged at enrollment.
- What if a staff member can't enroll (camera issues)?
- The manager can set a PIN-override mode for that staff member, with all overrides audit-logged. This is designed as a temporary fallback, not a permanent bypass.
