Every branch gets its own circle.
Set each branch's location and an allowed radius, for example 200 metres around the shop. Staff on mobile punch can only punch inside it.

02 · Outside means no
Punching from home? Blocked.
A punch from outside the radius is refused on the phone with "Outside Allowed Radius". Every punch that does go through carries a selfie and the GPS location.

03 · See it on a map
Every punch, with its photo and pin.
GPS punches reach your dashboard within seconds. Open any one to see check-in and check-out on a map with the selfie, then let shifts, late marks and overtime work themselves out.
How Staff Khata does it
Selfie on every punch
The app takes a verification photo at punch-in and punch-out, so you can see who actually punched.
Geo-fence per branch
Give each branch its own location and radius, or one location for everyone. Punches outside the radius are blocked.
Punch map for admins
GPS punches are marked separately. Open any one to see check-in and check-out on a map with the photo, or all of today's punches on one map.
On or off per employee
Turn mobile punch on for field and site staff and keep office staff on the Realtime biometric machine.
Corrections with a reason
Missed a punch? Staff request a regularisation with the right times and a reason; you approve it on the web.
Android, iPhone and browser
Staff can also punch from a browser with a selfie and location when they are at a desk.
In short
Staff Khata lets employees punch in and out from the Staff Khata app on Android or iPhone with a selfie and their GPS location. If geo-fencing is on, a punch only works inside the radius you set around each branch, for example 200 metres; outside it the app blocks the punch with "Outside Allowed Radius". Admins see every mobile punch on a map with the photo, and can switch mobile punch on or off for each employee.

Frequently asked questions
Can employees punch attendance from home with a GPS attendance app?
Only if you allow it. With geo-fencing on, Staff Khata blocks any punch made outside the branch radius, so staff have to be at the office or site to punch.
Is the selfie face recognition?
No. Staff Khata stores a selfie with each punch as proof, together with the GPS location. You or a manager can check the photo; the app does not match faces automatically.
Which phones does the Staff Khata attendance app work on?
Android phones from the Google Play Store and iPhones from the App Store. Employees can also punch from a web browser that allows camera and location access.
What happens if an employee forgets to punch out?
You can switch on Auto Punch-Out, which punches them out at 11:59 PM, or fix the day under Manual Punch. Employees can also request a correction themselves.
