Feature Overview

Built for the Way Contract Workforces Operate

Manage contractor agencies, apply headcount and compliance limits, and onboard replacement workers in seconds, through one face attendance app for workers. Every clock-in is tied to a worker, a site, and an agency, so contract labour attendance stays auditable from the gate to the payroll file.

Benefits

What Makes Truein Different for Contract Labour?

Lower Contractor Cost Leakages

Face verification and GPS-verified attendance stop buddy punching, off-site punches and duplicate entries, which cuts the hidden cost sitting inside contractor invoices.

Faster Crew Deployment

Contract and temporary workers self-register with a selfie and start marking attendance the same day, so replacement crews are not waiting on HR.

Compliance Support Without the Admin

70+ configurable policies for overtime, breaks, shifts and leave are set once and applied automatically across sites, designed to support compliance with your labour and contract requirements.

One View Across Agencies and Sites

Manage every contractor, site and agency from one dashboard, with contract labour attendance visible without chasing site registers or WhatsApp updates.

Less Manual Validation

AI TimeGuard flags anomalies such as unusual clock-in patterns, impossible travel sequences and abnormal overtime spikes, so managers review flagged exceptions instead of full timesheets.

Is Truein a Biometric Attendance System for Contract Workers?

Yes. Face recognition is a biometric modality, so Truein is a biometric attendance system for contract workers. The difference is that Truein is software-based. It runs on standard Android and iOS phones and tablets, so a new site does not need a fingerprint terminal procured, wired and mounted before workers can clock in.

For contract workforces this matters more than it does for permanent staff, because sites open and close, crews rotate, and hardware that has to be installed per site is the thing that delays deployment.

What changes when biometric attendance moves from a device to software

Tool Identity verification at clock-in Where it is strongest
Truein Live face match at the punch. A failed match blocks the entry. Paired with GPS geofencing on personal devices and shared tablet kiosks. AI TimeGuard reviews punch patterns across sites before payroll. Hourly and subcontractor crews across multiple job sites in construction and field services
ClockShark Face verification in shared kiosk mode. Personal-phone clock-ins are verified by GPS. Teams wanting scheduling, job costing, and invoicing bundled into one product
ExakTime (Arcoro Time) FaceFront captures a photo at the punch for supervisor review rather than automated identity verification. Construction job costing, equipment tracking, and labor allocation
Workyard GPS and geofencing at the punch rather than face verification. US construction and field service trades needing precise GPS and job costing
Jibble AI selfie match on mobile and shared kiosk. Mismatches trigger an alert. Cost-sensitive teams wanting free face verification and GPS for unlimited users


If you already run fingerprint or IR hardware

Truein does not require you to remove it. Many sites keep existing terminals at the main gate and use Truein for crews at satellite sites, remote locations and agency workers where installing another device is not practical. Truein is the software layer for contract labour attendance across all of them.

Can Contract Workers Mark Attendance with a Selfie?


Yes. Truein works as a selfie based attendance app for workers. A worker opens the app, taps clock in, and takes a selfie. Truein matches that face against the registered profile and records the punch with GPS location, but only if the face matches and the worker is inside the site geofence. A failed match blocks the punch and prompts a retry.

Three ways a contract worker can clock in

  • Own phone. The worker uses the Truein app on their own Android or iOS device, with geofencing applied.
  • Shared tablet kiosk. One tablet at the site gate runs in touchless kiosk mode for the whole crew, which suits workers without smartphones.
  • Supervisor-assisted. A site supervisor marks the crew in from their own device.
Selfie attendance keeps working where the network does not. Punches captured offline are stored on the device, flagged as captured offline, and synced automatically once connectivity returns.

Stop Proxy Attendance with Face Verification at Clock-In

Truein's contract staff attendance software verifies identity at the moment of clock-in, not after the fact. A face-match failure blocks the punch immediately and prompts a retry. Spoofing attempts are flagged for review, and a worker can be blocked from further punches. Attendance stays accurate across every site, including offline and in low light.

Contract Labour Attendance and Compliance in India

Yes. Face recognition is a biometric modality, so Truein is a biometric attendance system for contract workers. The difference is that Truein is softwaContract labour attendance in India is a record-keeping obligation as much as an operational one. The principal employer carries responsibility for the contract workers engaged on its premises, and that responsibility runs on attendance data.re-based. It runs on standard Android and iOS phones and tablets, so a new site does not need a fingerprint terminal procured, wired and mounted before workers can clock in.

For contract workforces this matters more than it does for permanent staff, because sites open and close, crews rotate, and hardware that has to be installed per site is the thing that delays deployment.

What Truein gives you

  • Digital muster roll. Attendance recorded per worker, per site, per contractor agency, replacing paper registers and site-level Excel sheets.
  • Man-day and payable-hour records. Verified totals by agency, which is what contractor billing and wage reconciliation are checked against.
  • Overtime and shift records. Configurable policies applied per site, shift and worker category, designed to support compliance with the working-hours and overtime rules that apply to you.
  • Document expiry tracking. Worker and contractor documents stored with expiry dates.

Note on the legal framework. The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 has been consolidated into India's four Labour Codes, in force from 21 November 2025, with central rules notified in May 2026 and state rules still rolling out. Contract labour obligations now sit primarily under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code. Under the Code on Social Security, 2020, statutory social security including provident fund and ESIC is being extended to contract and fixed-term workers rather than permanent staff alone.

How Truein handles attendance and face data
Truein processes attendance data, including face registration and personal identifiers, on AWS infrastructure hosted in India. Truein is ISO 27001:2022 certified and SOC 2 Type II compliant, operates as Data Processor with the customer as Data Controller, and maintains a designated Data Protection Officer reachable at dpo@truein.com. Truein's data protection framework aligns with the core principles India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act establishes, including consent, data minimisation and breach notification, and Truein is structured to meet its obligations as the Act's rules come into force in phases.

  • Disclaimer: This section is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. India's data protection and labour law framework, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act and the Labour Codes, is still being rolled out in phases and is subject to change.

How to Choose a Face Attendance System for Contract Workers?

What to check Why it matters for contract workforces What to look for
When identity is verified A photo captured for later supervisor review does not stop a proxy punch on the day it happens A face match that blocks the punch and prompts a retry, not post-hoc review
Offline capture Basements, remote infrastructure sites and low-signal zones On-device capture with automatic sync, records flagged as captured offline
Contractor agency segregation Overbilling and headcount creep are agency-level problems Per-agency headcount caps, scoped supervisor access, agency-specific policies
Site and zone geofencing Wrong-site and in-transit punches distort site-level cost Configurable radius from 20 metres, applied per floor, wing or zone
Hardware dependency Sites open and close; crews rotate Runs on standard phones and tablets, no per-site terminal to procure
Payroll handoff Manual reconciliation is where errors enter Payroll-ready exports plus API or FTP sync into existing payroll and HRMS
Policy depth Multi-site shift, overtime and break rules differ by site Configurable policies applied per site, shift and worker category

Truein is best for companies managing 100 or more contract, daily wage or agency workers across multiple sites, where identity verification at the moment of clock-in and contractor-wise accountability matter more than scheduling breadth. It is purpose-built for field, contract and multi-site workforces, and is not designed for desk-based office teams.

Turn Any Tablet Into a Face Recognition Time Clock

A traditional face recognition time clock is a wall-mounted terminal, one per site, procured and wired before anyone can clock in. Truein is software. Install the app on a phone or tablet your team already owns and the site is live. Where a site prefers a fixed station, any tablet on a stand becomes a shared kiosk.

Dedicated Hardware Required Wall-mounted terminal, one per site Any Android or iOS phone or tablet

What Is a Face Attendance System for Contract Workers?

A face attendance system (or face attendance management system) for contract workers records attendance by matching a worker's face at the moment of clock-in, instead of relying on a paper muster roll, an ID card, or a shared fingerprint terminal. It is built for workforces that change often, work across several sites, and are supplied by more than one contractor agency.

The difference from a standard employee attendance system is accountability. Contract labour attendance has to be traceable back to a specific agency for billing, and headcount has to stay inside the caps agreed with each contractor. A face attendance software for contract workers records who was present, at which site, under which agency, for how many man-days.
