How photo verification works
1. Enable the feature
Visit the webcam settings page to enable the feature. Make it required for everyone, optional, or required only for specific employees.
2. Capture photos
When employees access Buddy Punch on a computer, tablet, or mobile phone, the system will prompt them to take a selfie when clocking in/out.
3. Review photos
View the selfies employees took at any time on your admin dashboard or employees’ timesheets to make sure no one was buddy punching.
More ways to prevent time theft with Buddy Punch
GPS tracking
Capture employees’ locations when they clock in and out, then review those locations on their timesheets to make sure they were on site. You can also track their locations in real-time all day.
Geofencing
Prevent employees from clocking in before they arrive at a job site or clocking out after they leave with geofences — virtual, location-based radiuses you create around your worksites.
IP address locks
For office workers, you can use IP address locks rather than geofences. This feature requires employees to be connected to your office’s Wi-Fi network in order to clock in or out.
