Spoof and proxy protection
Attendance fraud usually means one of four things: a fake location, a photo of a photo, a colleague clocking in for you, or a changed phone clock. dayFlow checks for each and sends what looks wrong to one review queue.
In plain words
Attendance fraud is usually one of four things: a fake location, a photo or screen held up to the camera, a colleague clocking in for you (a proxy), or a phone clock set to the wrong time. Each is cheap to try and each is hard to prove after the fact.
dayFlow checks for all four when the punch arrives, not at month end. Anything suspicious is recorded, not discarded, and put in one review queue with the evidence beside it, so honest mistakes can be cleared quickly and real fraud is visible.
What you get
The position is judged against the work area together with its accuracy. Mock-location apps are detected, and punches from a place the person is not assigned to are flagged.
In practice
Selfies are checked for signs of a photo or a screen, and for being an exact copy of an enrollment picture. A face that belongs to someone else does not match.
In practice
The phone's time is compared with the server's. A large difference suggests the clock was changed to make a punch look earlier or later, and the punch is flagged.
In practice
Everything doubtful lands in the exceptions list with the reasons, the selfie and the registered face. A manager accepts or dismisses; a dismissed punch no longer counts towards hours.

Examples
A supervisor who suspects buddy punching
She opens exceptions on Monday and sees two mismatches from the same gate. The photos show the same person clocking in for a colleague.
A fake-location app
A worker uses an app to appear at the site. The punch is flagged as a mock location and the manager sees it before approving the week.
An honest mistake
A worker's phone clock was wrong after a battery change. The punch is flagged, the manager sees the explanation and clears it in seconds.
The details
How it works
Each punch is checked when it arrives.
Anything suspicious becomes a review item with the evidence.
A manager accepts or rejects it, and the day updates.
Who it is for
Part of a whole
The protections are the same checks described on the face and location pages, collected into one place: a single review queue that must be cleared before a day can be approved.
Questions
Not unless you chose to block outside-area punches. Otherwise it is recorded and sent for review so honest mistakes are not punished.

Managers with the right to decide exceptions, for the employees they look after.
Only if you choose to block outside-area punches. By default doubtful punches are recorded and reviewed, so a mistake costs a minute of a manager's time, not a day's pay.
No system can promise that. dayFlow makes the common methods hard and visible, and keeps evidence so you can act on them.

It stays on record but no longer counts towards the person's hours.
