Does it suit casual and split-shift staff?
Yes — fast biometric check-in handles high-turnover, split-shift and casual staff, with accurate hours per outlet and shift.
How does a biometric attendance system work?
Employees enrol once. At clock-in, NCheck captures their face or contactless fingerprint, matches it to an encrypted template, and logs an accurate, time-stamped record — on a phone, tablet, IP camera or terminal.
Is biometric data secure, and who can access it?
With on-premises deployment, biometric data is stored as encrypted templates on your own servers — never in a third-party cloud. Only your organisation can access it, supporting GDPR and data-residency requirements.
What if a fingerprint or face won’t scan (gloves, masks, dust)?
NCheck is multi-modal: if one method can’t be used, it falls back to another. Contactless face and fingerprint avoid the failures of touch sensors in dusty, gloved or industrial conditions.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. NCheck records attendance offline and syncs automatically when a connection returns — ideal for sites, fields and remote locations.
Do we need to buy special hardware?
No. NCheck runs on employees’ own phones and tablets, on IP cameras, or on dedicated terminals (Aratek, Telpo, BioRugged) — your choice, no lock-in.
How does biometric attendance save money?
By tying every clock-in to a verified person, it ends buddy punching and timesheet padding, so you pay only for hours actually worked — and accurate records cut payroll errors and disputes.
Does it integrate with payroll and HR systems?
Yes. NCheck exports accurate work hours, overtime and reports for your payroll and HR systems.
Is biometric attendance GDPR-compliant and legal?
Used correctly — with consent, encrypted templates and clear retention limits — yes. NCheck’s on-premises option keeps biometric data under your control. (General information, not legal advice.)

Yes. NCheck unifies time attendance, access control (doors and gates) and visitor management on one biometric platform.
Can it handle split shifts and seasonal staff?
Yes — split-shift schedules are supported, and seasonal staff enrol in seconds on a shared tablet at reception or back of house.
Is check-in discreet enough for front-of-house?
A small tablet kiosk at the staff entrance checks people in silently — no badges or uniforms punched in front of guests.
Can multiple hotels or restaurants be managed centrally?
Yes — every property runs its own schedules while managers see consolidated attendance and labour reports across all locations.
