Illustrated workflow. Your company must enable mobile punching at the workplace.

AionHRMS supports mobile attendance for employees at enabled company locations. When you tap Punch now, the app requests a fresh location reading; the server checks its age, accuracy and distance from the workplace. Accepted mobile punches join the same attendance register as biometric punches, with the source identified.

01

Enable a workplace, then invite your employees

An administrator configures an active company location and enables mobile punching. Employees sign in to their linked employee account. The Punch now option appears when their company has an enabled location.

  • Set the location, allowed radius and accuracy requirement
  • Link the employee to the correct company
  • Test a punch at the workplace before rolling out to the team
02

A location check with a visible result

The app asks for location permission and obtains a fresh reading. The server rejects readings that are stale, insufficiently accurate or outside the configured boundary. Accepted and rejected attempts are recorded for review.

  • A rejected punch gives a reason so the employee can correct it
  • Poor indoor GPS can require a better signal or a configuration review
  • Geofencing checks a device location; it is not a guarantee against every form of location spoofing
03

Keep mobile and biometric attendance together

Use biometric terminals where they suit your workplace and mobile punches at approved locations where they are useful. The attendance record identifies the source, so HR can review exceptions without maintaining two registers.

  • Attendance history in the employee portal
  • Leave applications and manager approvals
  • Mobile and biometric sources visible in attendance reporting
04

Know the practical limits

Mobile punching needs location permission, a usable location reading and a network connection. This page does not promise offline punches, background location tracking, phone-based face recognition or a published app-store listing. Confirm the available installation and sign-in route with your administrator.

  • Company configuration is required; the feature is not enabled automatically
  • No background location tracking in the mobile punching workflow
  • Test your actual devices and locations before relying on the workflow

Frequently asked questions

Can employees mark attendance from their phones?

Yes, for linked employees at company locations where mobile punching is enabled. The phone supplies a fresh location and the server checks it against the configured workplace boundary and accuracy requirement.

Why can I not see Punch now?

Your employee account must be linked to the company, and the company needs an active location with mobile punching enabled. Ask your administrator to check those settings.

Does AionHRMS track location all day?

No. The mobile punching workflow requests location when you choose to punch. It does not track your location in the background.

Can a mobile punch work without internet?

This workflow requires an online server check. Offline punching is not promised; use your workplace's agreed fallback if the network or location reading is unavailable.
