Plain cells, no adjectives. Where a cell says to check their listing, it is because their answer is theirs to state and a stale claim from us would be a false one.

When a fingerprint machine is the better choice

You have a fixed workplace, mains power, and a real reason to remove trust from the marking.
A client or a contract requires machine-recorded attendance.
You already own the machine and the software that goes with it.

How we think about it differently

A machine proves a finger was there. It does not tell you what to pay, and it will not settle an argument about an advance. Both of those are what the month-end fight is actually about.

Moving your records across

1
Step 1

Add your workers and their wages in the app.
2
Step 2

Mark the day from the phone, or let a supervisor mark it.
3
Step 3

Keep the machine if a client requires it. The two can run side by side.

Questions people ask

Does DailyPlus take fingerprints or photographs of faces?

No. It does not collect biometric data at all. You mark the day yourself.

Can a worker mark himself present?

No. Marking stays with you or with someone you gave access to. He can only tell you a day looks wrong.
