Construction companies have unique HR challenges that generic office software can't solve. Multiple sites, foreign workers, heavy OT, shift rotations, and the infamous buddy punching problem. Here's what you actually need.
Workers punch in from phone — GPS proves they're at the correct site. Works across 10 sites or 100 sites. No hardware to install at each location.
Auto-capture selfie on every punch. Supervisor can verify identity. Impossible for Worker A to punch in for Worker B.
System reads punch-in/out times, automatically calculates OT at correct rates: 1.5x (normal day), 2x (rest day), 3x (public holiday). No manual calculation needed.
Construction workers aren't tech-savvy. App must be dead simple — one button to punch, one button for leave. No training needed.
Day shift, night shift, rotation schedules. System knows which shift each worker is on and calculates OT accordingly.

Construction companies must track:
SafeSyt HR stores all attendance evidence (selfie + GPS) for 7 years. Digital records that survive any audit.
50 workers × RM3,000 average salary:
Buddy punching costs ~3% of payroll = RM4,500/month lost
SafeSyt HR cost: 50 × RM3 = RM150/month
ROI: 30x return. System pays for itself in 1 day.
One with GPS attendance, selfie verification, OT auto-calc, and shift management. SafeSyt HR has all these from RM3/worker.
GPS-based system. Workers punch from phone — GPS verifies which site. No hardware needed per site.
Good for payroll (free), but no attendance/GPS/OT auto-calc. You'd need a separate attendance system.
Akta Kerja 1955: 1.5x normal, 2x rest day, 3x public holiday. SafeSyt auto-calculates from punch data.
Yes. Simple app — scan QR or tap button. Selfie + GPS automatic. No reading needed.
