Security Guard Attendance
Definition
Security Guard Attendance refers to the verified process of recording the exact time a security officer reports for duty (clock-in) and leaves duty (clock-out) at a designated client site.
Examples in Operations
- A guard arrives at an IT Park, opens the PEHREDAR app, and takes a live selfie to log their 12-hour night shift attendance.
- A supervisor checks the command center dashboard and sees 45 guards marked as "Present" and 2 marked as "Absent" for the morning shift.
Operational Benefits of Digitization
Digitizing attendance eliminates manual register tampering, prevents ghost guarding, and ensures clients are billed only for hours actively worked. It also forms the foundation for automated statutory payroll (PF/ESI).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Proxy Attendance?
Proxy attendance occurs when one guard clocks in on behalf of an absent guard to fraudulently claim wages. PEHREDAR prevents this via biometric verification.
Why is GPS Geofencing important for attendance?
GPS geofencing ensures the guard is physically present within the client's premises before they are allowed to clock in, eliminating off-site clock-ins.
