Attendance That Calculates the Salary Too

Most attendance systems record who came in and stop there — someone still spends the last two days of every month with a register and a calculator. This one produces the payslip. Staff clock in by camera inside a GPS boundary, the shift rules apply themselves, and month-end is a review rather than an arithmetic exercise.

How a day runs

Clock in by camera

Face recognition on an ordinary phone or tablet. No biometric terminal to buy, and no sharing a PIN with a colleague who is running late.

Location is checked

A GPS boundary around the workplace means clocking in from home is not possible. You set the radius.

Hours build up

Late arrival and early leaving are measured against that employee's shift, not a single company-wide rule.

Salary follows

Approved hours, leave, field work, loans and advances feed the payslip. You review and print, or send it over WhatsApp.

The parts that usually cause arguments

🕐

Forgotten clock-outs

An automatic clock-out closes the record after the shift ends, so nobody is credited to midnight because they walked out without tapping.

Hours you approve

Day-by-day approval means the recorded figure and the paid figure are the same number, agreed before payroll runs — not disputed after.

📲

Reminders, not confrontations

Staff who have not clocked in get an automatic WhatsApp reminder at set times in the morning. Most lateness resolves itself.

🧾

Payslips staff can keep

Each slip goes out as a PDF over WhatsApp with hours, deductions and net pay itemised, so the maths is visible rather than asserted.

🔐

Who can change what

Admins run the day. Only a super-admin can edit hours, adjust salary or delete an employee, and those actions are recorded.

🤝

Staff without a phone

An admin can clock someone in on their behalf, gated behind a Google Authenticator code so it cannot become a casual habit.

Frequently asked questions

Can staff clock in from home?

No, if you do not want them to. A GPS geofence restricts clock-in to within a set distance of your workplace, and the radius is configurable. Clock-in is also camera-based, so the person present is the person recorded.

How is salary calculated?

From approved hours against each employee's assigned shift, adjusted for leave, field work, loans and advances. Late arrival and early leaving reduce paid hours according to the rules you set. Every figure can be overridden by a super-admin with the change recorded.

What if someone forgets to clock out?

An automatic clock-out runs after the shift ends so the record does not stay open overnight, and a super-admin can correct any entry afterwards.

Does it need special hardware?

No. It runs in a browser on an ordinary phone, tablet or PC with a camera. There is no biometric terminal to buy.

How much does it cost?

The software has no licence fee. You pay only for the VPS hosting that runs your private instance, from $5 per month, with no per-employee charge.
