Two days to face clock-in

Before ECCS

Attendance at the cafe was kept in a register, and each month’s pay was worked out by hand from it. The cafe runs a 10-hour shift with a team of seven, so a missed entry or a late clock-out meant a question at the end of the month about who had worked how long.

What the cafe set up

• Face clock-in, at the cafe. Each person checks in with their face on the app at the start and the end of the shift. The app records the time and a photo, and takes it only at the cafe.
• The cafe’s own shift. The owner set a 10-hour full day and a half day of 5 hours, and the app works out every day from them.
• One screen for the day. The manager sees who is in, who has left and how long each has worked.
• Pay from the same days. The salary tracker works out what each person is owed for the month as the days are recorded.
• Licences in one place. The FSSAI licence and the pest control papers are on file, with the days left on each and a reminder before one runs out.

The first nine days

Every day since 22 October has its clock-ins by face, and six of the team clock in with their face. The app has worked out 46 staff days from them: 41 present, 1 half day and 4 weekly offs.

Every clock-in and clock-out since 27 October has been by face, with nothing entered by hand. The month’s pay builds up from the same days, ready for the end of October.
