One thing I wish attendance tracking software did better is kiosk clock-ins.

At our site, we use a shared tablet at the entrance where employees clock in. The problem is that people just select their name or enter a PIN, and honestly, it’s very easy for someone to clock in for a coworker who hasn’t arrived yet.

I’ve always thought a better system would be something like this: every employee gets their own unique QR code, and when they arrive, they just scan it at the kiosk to clock in or out.

It seems like it would solve a lot of issues:

  • harder for people to clock in for others
  • faster than typing names or PINs
  • works well with a shared device

Does any time and attendance tracking software actually support something like this? Or are most systems still using the name/PIN approach?
