Clocking in with facial recognition

In Weplanify, facial recognition compares the photo taken at clock-in with the employee's profile photo; here is what to do when the check fails.

In Weplanify, facial recognition checks that the person clocking in is really the employee: the photo taken at clock-in is compared with their profile photo.

Clocking in with facial recognition on the app

Steps

On the employee record, Time tracking and leave section, choose the Facial recognition clock-in type.
Add a sharp, front-facing, recent profile photo: it is the reference photo.
The employee clocks in from their phone or a shared terminal; the clock-in is saved at once, the check follows within seconds.

When the check fails

In the day's list, the employee's avatar is circled in red; the source reads "Face recognition".
The detail shows Verification failed.
If it really is the employee (lighting, old photo), update their profile photo; otherwise, fix or delete the day.

Good to know

Without a profile photo, facial clock-in is refused on a terminal.
The check runs on the server, not on the phone; the position is recorded as for any clock-in.
Facial recognition processes biometric data: check your country's rules and inform your employees.
