Clock-in that actually works.

What is biometric clock-in?

A way for employees to record arrival using fingerprint, face scan, mobile GPS, or web browser— all stamped with server time (Asia/Manila), not the employee's phone clock. Used by Filipino HR teams to eliminate buddy-punching and time-padding.

WORKSPHR ships adapters for ZKTeco, Anviz, Suprema, and Hikvision devices, plus mobile geo-fence, plus browser clock-in. Late arrivals trigger tardiness alerts. Multi-shift schedules supported.

Time-padding costs Filipino employers millions

Manual log-books, paper bundies, and SMS-based clock-in are buddy-punching paradise. Five minutes padded per employee per day across 200 staff = 16+ payroll hours wasted weekly. WORKSPHR shuts the back door.

Buddy-punching
Co-worker swipes your card while you're still in transit
≈ PHP 1,750/emp/mo5 min/day padding × 22 days at PHP 200/hr loaded
Phone-clock spoofing
Employee changes phone time to fake an early arrival
≈ PHP 1,400/emp/mo~4 min/day average, untraceable without server time
No tardiness alerts
HR finds out about chronic lateness only at payroll cutoff
≈ PHP 875/emp/mountracked late minutes accumulate silently
Multi-shift chaos
Night-shift clock-out next day breaks the timesheet
≈ PHP 50K/moops cost in spreadsheet reconciliation hours

Five ways to clock in. One source of truth.

Pick what fits each location: biometric device at HQ, geo-fence on the field, browser at the work-from-home desk. All feed the same timesheet, all stamped server time.

Native adapters for the most common devices in PH offices. ZKTeco, Anviz, Suprema, Hikvision all push punches into WORKSPHR over HTTP/SDK. Plug-and-play setup.

  • ZKTeco K40 / F18 / IClock series
  • Anviz CrossChex sync
  • Suprema BioStar 2
  • Hikvision DS-K1T series
  • Server-time stamped (UTC+8)

How it works.

Step
1

Connect device or enable mobile

Plug a ZKTeco/Anviz/Suprema/Hikvision device into your office network — WORKSPHR auto-discovers it. Or enable mobile clock-in + define a per-branch geo-fence.

Step
2

Assign a schedule

Pick a shift template (Regular / Night / Rotating / Flexi / Custom). Set the start, end, break, grace minutes. Bulk-assign to the team.

Step
3

Punches flow into the timesheet

Every clock-in / clock-out lands on the daily attendance row. Late minutes accumulate. Cycle ends → manager approves → payroll runs. Zero manual entry.

  • What biometric devices does WORKSPHR support?
    Most ZKTeco, Anviz, Suprema, and Hikvisiondevices via their HTTP/SDK adapters. We also work with USB fingerprint readers attached to a Windows PC at the guard's desk. Face recognition uses the device's built-in camera.
  • Can employees clock in from their phone?
    Yes. The WORKSPHR mobile self-service includes a clock-in screen that captures GPS coordinates. You define a geo-fence per branch (e.g., Makati Office 100m radius). Clock-ins outside the fence are flagged for manager review, not blocked outright — useful for field reps.
  • Is server time used or device time?
    Server time, Asia/Manila (UTC+8). Always. The client-reported time is captured for audit but never used for the timesheet. Prevents employees from changing their phone clock to fake an early arrival.
  • What about tardiness alerts?
    WORKSPHR compares the actual clock-in to the assigned schedule's start time + grace minutes. If late, a tardiness record is logged automatically and the late-hours total accumulates on the employee's timesheet for the period.
  • Does it support 3-shift / 24/7 operations?
    Yes. Each schedule template can be Regular, Night Shift, Rotating, Flexi, or Custom. Shifts crossing midnight are handled correctly — clock-out the next day is still attributed to the original shift. Common for BPO, manufacturing, and hospitality in the Philippines.
