WorkAxle Time & Attendance captures every clock-in, break, and clock-out with identity verification and location validation, then automatically applies your pay rules: overtime, holiday premiums, and shift differentials. No manual time classification. No payroll reconciliation. Clean, auditable timecards ready for export.
Every minute verified.
Every dollar justified.
WorkAxle verifies who clocked in, where they are, and whether it matches the schedule, automatically. Pay rules and timecards generate themselves. When leadership asks why overtime spiked last week, you have the answer before they finish the sentence.
Every gap in your time data is money you can't account for.
When your time data is an estimate.
Buddy punching, one employee clocks in for another. Small percentages compound into serious money at enterprise scale.
Missed clock-ins, an employee forgets to punch. The manager reconstructs the shift from memory after the fact. The timecard now records what someone remembered, not what happened.
Rounding errors, your rounding rules drift out of step with your labor law. Every miscalculated minute is a compliance exposure that compounds across every pay run.
Manual time classification, a payroll coordinator applies overtime rates, premiums, and differentials by hand. One mistake triggers an HR ticket and a correction that eats more time than getting it right the first time.
What if every clock-in was verified at the source?
Buddy punching doesn't work, the beacon confirms the employee is on-site and facial recognition confirms their identity. There's no PIN to share, no badge to lend.
Missed clock-ins are caught in real time. The system detects the gap against the schedule and flags it the moment it happens, while the shift is fresh and days before payroll runs.
Overtime, premiums, and differentials are applied by the rule engine, not by a person with a spreadsheet. The timecard is classified before a manager ever sees it.
→ Timecards generate themselves. Payroll gets clean data. The disputes stop.
Capture. Verify. Classify. Export. Managers handle only the exceptions.
Desktop clock-in.
For office and call-center employees. Browser-based, no hardware required. Schedule match validated at the moment of punch. Zero IT footprint.
Mobile clock-in.
For field, retail, and deskless workers. GPS-validated location with geofencing, clock-in is only accepted within the defined site perimeter. Requires active connectivity for real-time validation.
Kiosk + tablet clock-in.
For shared workspaces, warehouses, and factory floors. Touchscreen interface with optional facial recognition, so the punch is tied to a face. No shared PINs, no borrowed badges.
Beacon + facial recognition.
Bluetooth beacons placed at work locations validate that the employee is physically present at the assigned site, not in the parking lot, not at home. Facial recognition adds contactless identity verification. Eliminates buddy punching and GPS spoofing at the hardware level.
Pay rules applied automatically. No manual calculation.
Overtime, holiday premiums, and shift differentials are applied automatically by the rule engine, alongside rest-between-shifts, consecutive-shift, and cumulative-hours rules. Holiday calendars configurable per company. No manual lookup, no missed premiums. Custom thresholds are configurable through the no-code rule builder, and every timecard reflects the real cost, not an approximation.
What else the time engine handles.
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| Real-time enforcement | Enforces geofence boundaries, schedule mismatches, and clock-in/out rules at the moment of capture. Anomaly-detection reports for missed punches and early clock-outs configurable through the rule engine. |
| Auto-generated timecards | Timecards populated automatically with totals by time type. They arrive ready for approval and require no assembly. |
| Configurable rounding rules | Configurable rounding increments and methods, matched to your jurisdiction. |
| Audit trail | Every clock-in, adjustment, approval, and exception logged with timestamp, actor, and event context. |
| Attestations engine | Configurable attestations at clock-in/out, targetable by device type, department, or time-entry type. |
Time capture that matches how your industry actually works.
Security & Guarding
Spoof-proof presenceGuards across client sites need location verification that can't be spoofed. Beacons validate physical presence without relying on GPS, and hours bill straight to the contract.

Your questions, answered.
How does WorkAxle prevent buddy punching?
Bluetooth beacons confirm the employee is physically at the assigned site. Facial recognition confirms which person is clocking in, which removes shared PINs and borrowed badges from the equation. Customers see wage cost reductions in the first pay runs after implementing beacon-based verification.
What time capture methods does WorkAxle support?
Desktop (browser-based), mobile (GPS-validated), kiosk/tablet (with optional facial recognition), Bluetooth beacons (location validation), and geofencing (geographic boundary enforcement). Methods are configured per company, a retail store might use beacons while field technicians use mobile with geofencing.
Does WorkAxle automatically calculate overtime and pay premiums?
Yes. The rule engine classifies all time records: overtime, holiday premiums, shift differentials, and jurisdiction-specific rules, encoded per market as your operations require. Custom thresholds are configurable per group. Timecards auto-generate with totals by time type.
How does WorkAxle handle time capture for mobile or field workers?
Mobile clock-in validates location via GPS and geofencing. Active connectivity is required for punch submission. For sites with unreliable connectivity, beacon-based verification provides a hardware-level alternative that doesn't depend on cell signal strength.
Can WorkAxle integrate time data with our payroll system?
Yes. Validated, classified time data exports directly to payroll systems through WorkAxle's API-first architecture. Supported formats and integration partners include major payroll and ERP platforms. No re-entry, and little left to reconcile once the rules are configured upstream.
