Buddy punching — one employee clocking in for another — is still common where attendance is manual or PIN-only. AI face verification compares a live selfie at punch time against a reference face captured during registration.
How the flow works
- Staff registers with mobile, PIN, and a clear front-camera selfie
- A face descriptor is stored securely on the profile
- Each punch-in and punch-out captures a new selfie
- The app checks liveness (anti-spoof) and match score before saving
- Admins can review pending punches in an approval queue
Why schools and businesses both use it
Workforce teams use face verify at punch. Schools use similar technology at the gate kiosk or on student phones for campus check-in. The goal is the same: trustworthy presence records parents and payroll can rely on.
Privacy and consent
Use clear policy text: why selfies are collected, how long they are kept, and who can view them. PAYA lets admins publish attendance and privacy copy in org settings so staff and parents know the rules upfront.
