MobStaff

MobStaff turns a tablet or phone at your workplace into a time clock that still works when the internet does not. Staff enter a PIN, the camera takes a verification photo, and the record is queued on the device and uploaded when there is a connection. Nothing on the screen waits for a network reply, so a dropped line at 6am does not stop a shift starting. WHAT IT DOES • PIN entry with a verification photo at clock-in, clock-out and breaks — each one switchable by the employer • Paid and unpaid breaks • Today's roster on the screen: who is on shift, who is on a break, and for how long • A running clock that reads server time, not the device's • Honest sync status: it tells you how many records are still waiting rather than pretending they have been sent • Works as a shared iPad at a door, as several iPads across a site, or as a personal iPhone bound to one named worker BUILT FOR THE AWKWARD PARTS Time comes from the server. Every sync anchors server time against a counter that ticks since the device booted and cannot be set by anyone, so moving the device clock forward to manufacture overtime does not move the recorded time. The tampered clock travels with the record as evidence. Records are queued locally in an encrypted database and uploaded later, so hours without a connection cost nothing. A photo that fails to upload never blocks the attendance record itself. Location and workplace WiFi checks are optional, off by default, and read only at the moment of a punch. There is no background location tracking of any kind, and no face recognition: the photo is stored for a human to look at. YOU NEED AN EMPLOYER ACCOUNT MobStaff is sold to businesses. This app is the worker-facing half and has to be paired to an employer's MobStaff account with a code from their management panel. Without that code there is nothing to see. Employers manage staff, sites, devices, roster, leave, attendance review and hourly payroll in a browser at mobstaff.com.
