Kiosk: a tablet at the entrance to clock in with a code and PIN
The kiosk turns a tablet or a computer into the place where people clock in at a location. It's for people who don't have a phone, don't want to use theirs or work where phones aren't allowed. Each employee clocks in with their code and PIN.
What it does
Each kiosk is registered to a location, and the punches made on it belong to that location. The employee types their code and PIN, or shows their QR code and types their PIN, and clocks in or out.
If you ask for a selfie, the tablet's camera takes the photo at that moment. If someone enters the wrong PIN several times in a row, the PIN is locked for 15 minutes so no one can guess it.
Each employee sees their QR code in their portal. To read it, the tablet's browser needs to be able to read QR codes, like Chrome on Android. If it can't, people clock in with their code.
The kiosk needs internet. If it loses connection, it shows on screen that the punch wasn't saved.
