Detecting Buddy Punching In 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.
