How to Detect and Prevent Buddy Punching in Your Business

Buddy punching happens when one staff clocks in for another. It is one of the most common forms of attendance fraud.

This leads to:

  • Paying for work not done
  • Loss of productivity
  • Lack of accountability

Manual systems cannot prevent this.

To stop buddy punching:

  • Track who clocks in and when
  • Monitor patterns and inconsistencies
  • Use a controlled attendance system

STANIFICENT WORKFORCE records all attendance activities, making it easy to detect suspicious behavior.

Once detected, it can be addressed immediately.
