Proxy attendance
Nobody checks in for a friend.
Proxy attendance, or buddy punching, is when one employee marks attendance for another who isn’t there. Stafrix stops it twice over: check-in only works on the person’s own phone, inside your workplace radius, on server time, and Stafrix flags the patterns that give a proxy away.

How does Stafrix stop proxy attendance?
By making a check-in hard to make for someone else. Each of these is a setting you switch on in Phone check-in.
- Only at the workplaceCheck-in works only inside the radius you choose around your workplace: 50, 100, 150, 300 or 500 metres.
- Server timeThe time comes from Stafrix’s server, never the phone’s own clock, so it can’t be moved.
- One phone, one personA phone already used by one employee can’t check in another, and new phones can need a manager’s approval.
- A selfie or a fingerprintAsk for a selfie with every check-in, or the phone’s own fingerprint or face unlock.
How does Stafrix spot it when someone tries anyway?
Stafrix Intelligence watches for what proxies leave behind: one phone checking in several people, two check-ins too far apart to travel between, a location identical to the centimetre on different days, and more punches in a day than anyone needs. Each is flagged with the person and days.
Why not a register or a fingerprint machine?
A paper register can be signed for anyone, and a machine on the wall records a finger at one door while its data still has to be typed into payroll. Phone check-in records who, where and when, and goes straight into the attendance calendar and the payslip.
The workplace radius, server time and one phone per person come with every plan. Selfie and fingerprint or face check-in come with Business. Proxy alerts come with Intelligence.
