Feature · Staff Attendance

Clock on with a tap. Nothing to install.

A worker taps the plaque by the door, keys in a PIN, and the shift starts. No app to download, no email address, no login screen at six in the morning — the phone already in their pocket is the whole account.

Fitted in person · 30 days, no commitment · the plaques are yours to keep

What it is

A record of time, and deliberately nothing more

Every clock on, break and clock off is written as an event that cannot be edited, and the shift is derived from those events rather than the other way round. If the two ever disagree, the events win and the shift is rebuilt from them. That is the only design that survives an argument about a Tuesday three months ago.

What it records

The shift, the breaks, and who was actually holding the phone

The tag proves a real plaque was tapped. The bound handset proves who tapped it. Neither is worth much alone — without the binding anyone at the plaque could clock on as anyone on the list; without the tag a bound phone could clock on from home. Together, punching in for a mate means holding their physical phone.

  • Clock on, break, back on, clock off — each an immutable event
  • Paid and unpaid breaks kept apart
  • Sites with a geofence, and their own timezone
  • Corrections that stay visible as corrections
  • Time records kept seven years, as the Fair Work Regulations require
What it refuses to do

It never calculates pay, and it never guesses a finish time

No awards, no penalty rates, no overtime, and no payroll integration exists. The moment software starts interpreting an award it stops being a record of time and becomes a calculation of pay, which is a different product carrying a different liability. The export is shaped so your payroll system can be mapped onto it.

  • No award interpretation, no penalty rates, no overtime
  • Cryptographic tag verification (NTAG424 DNA) is selectable but not built — it reports as missing rather than as proven
  • GPS is weak evidence and is never presented as proof
  • A phone with location switched off still clocks on, every time
When nobody clocks off, a sweep closes the shift once a day — and then withholds the hours. The export prints the words NOT CONFIRMED in place of a figure until somebody who was there corrects it. The system never invents a finish time, because a timesheet with an invented number on it is worse than a blank one.

How a shift is recorded

Four steps, and three of them are one tap

Everything a worker does happens on the plaque and their own phone. Everything a supervisor does happens in the dashboard. Nothing needs an IT department.

1

Enrol once

A name, a PIN of four to six digits, and the worker’s own phone. That handset is bound to them from then on. No email address, no password, no account — anything heavier does not survive a building site at six in the morning.

2

Tap on

The plaque by the door opens the page, the PIN confirms who it is, and the shift starts. The tag’s own read counter is checked, so a link copied out of somebody’s browser history cannot be replayed the next morning.

3

Breaks, then tap off

Paid and unpaid breaks are recorded separately. Every transition is written as an event that cannot be edited afterwards, and an attempt that cannot be honoured — clocking off when nothing was open — is refused and written to the log anyway.

4

Timesheets, corrections, export

A supervisor corrects what needs correcting and the change is visible as a correction. The CSV export carries the raw seconds beside the rounded ones, because rounding is a choice your business made and the raw seconds are the record.

A timesheet nobody argues about

Two people remember the same Tuesday differently. The events do not. And if you also want to know how the shift actually went, that is Staff Performance — a separate feature, on the same plaque.

One plaque. Point it at any of these.

The tier price buys one feature and you pick which. Add another later and the plaque on the counter does not change — we repoint it from the dashboard.
