Mobile clock-in within the AutoCount HRMS suite is a feature that enables employees to register the start of their workday through the AutoCount AC Payroll mobile app. Rather than relying on traditional punch cards or fixed terminals, staff can use this mobile attendance method which integrates GPS location verification to ensure accurate clocking, syncing directly back to the HRMS platform for payroll and attendance tracking.
This feature enhances accuracy and flexibility in attendance tracking. It not only ensures that employees clock in from the right location but also reduces the risk of time theft or errors, ensuring reliable payroll data.

Bluetooth Clocking
The system confirms clock-in by detecting a Bluetooth signal from a beacon installed in a specific area of the workplace.

Employees can clock in via mobile or an AutoCount iFace Biometric device that verifies identity in real time using facial recognition.
These features ensure a higher level of accuracy and efficiency in tracking attendance.
