Attendance management software your payroll can trust
AiroHR is attendance software for Indian employers that records punches three ways: a face-recognition kiosk on an Android tablet, a selfie with GPS on the employee app, and live sync from eSSL and ZKTeco biometric machines. Shift, overtime and leave rules are applied, and the same figures run payroll.

How do employees mark attendance in AiroHR?
Employees punch in one of three ways: at the Airo Lens face kiosk, with a selfie and GPS on the Android or iPhone app, or on an eSSL or ZKTeco biometric machine that sends punches live. All three land in one register, where shift rules, overtime and leave are applied before payroll.
Key facts about AiroHR attendance (as of 9 November 2026)
- Airo Lens face-attendance kiosk app for Android tablets, included in every plan.
- Selfie punch with GPS geofencing on Android and iPhone; out-of-area punches go for approval.
- eSSL and ZKTeco machines send punches live through their Cloud Server (ADMS) setting, with no office PC.
- Night shifts pair across midnight; weekly-off work counts as overtime; approved hours reach payroll.
Airo Lens face recognition
An Android tablet becomes a wall-mounted attendance kiosk. Walk up, look, done — punches go straight to AiroHR. Learn more.
Geofenced selfie punch
Field and remote staff punch in from the Android or iPhone app with a selfie + GPS. Outside the fence? It routes to approval, never silently accepted. GPS attendance app.
Live biometric sync
eSSL and ZKTeco machines send every fingerprint, face or card punch straight to AiroHR through their Cloud Server (ADMS) setting — no PC, no monthly export. Learn more.
Night shifts done right
Sessions pair across midnight, so an 8 PM – 8 AM shift is one attendance day — not two broken halves that underpay night workers.
Weekly shift rosters
Plan shifts on a weekly grid or bulk-upload from Excel, and rotate teams between shifts. A rostered day off worked = overtime, automatically. Shift scheduling.
Overtime approvals
OT detected from punches queues for manager approval — approved hours flow into payroll.
Explore each part: biometric attendance for eSSL and ZKTeco, the GPS and selfie attendance app, the face recognition kiosk, shift scheduling and duty roster and leave management.
What reports does attendance software give HR?
AiroHR gives HR a live daily register of who is present, absent, late, on leave or on overtime, a monthly view that matches the physical register day by day, and Excel exports of daily sheets, the monthly summary and the muster roll. Locked payroll months are frozen, so history cannot change.
- Live daily register — present, absent, late, on-leave, OT at a glance
- Monthly view that reconciles with the physical register, day by day
- Styled Excel exports: daily sheets, monthly summary, muster roll
- Missed punch-out and regularization workflows with full audit trail
- Payroll-locked months are frozen — attendance history can't drift
Why attendance-first payroll matters
Most payroll disputes start with attendance nobody trusts. AiroHR checks the punch at the source (face, location, or your biometric device's log), applies your shift and overtime policies consistently, and pays from the very same numbers on the register — so employees, HR and auditors all read one truth.
Attendance software questions, answered
How does face recognition attendance work in AiroHR?
The Airo Lens kiosk app turns an Android tablet into a face-recognition attendance terminal. Employees look at the tablet, the punch is checked and sent to AiroHR straight away, and managers see live presence on the dashboard.
Can field staff mark attendance from their phone?
Yes — selfie punch-in with GPS geofencing on the Android and iPhone apps. Punches outside the allowed location route to an approval queue instead of being silently accepted.
Does AiroHR handle night shifts and weekly-off overtime?
Yes. Overnight sessions pair correctly across midnight, weekly-off work counts as overtime by definition, and rosters override fixed shift templates — the same rules payroll pays on.
Does attendance connect to payroll automatically?
Yes. Payable days, overtime, late fines and leave flow directly into the payroll run — the number on the attendance sheet is the number payroll pays.
Does AiroHR work with eSSL or ZKTeco biometric machines?
Yes. eSSL and ZKTeco machines with the Cloud Server (ADMS) option send punches to AiroHR live over the internet, with no sync software on an office PC. See biometric attendance software.
Is leave management included?
Yes. Leave policies with monthly or yearly credit, carry forward, encashment, holidays and approvals are part of AiroHR, and approved leave reaches payroll. See leave management software.
Is there a selfie attendance app with payroll in India?
Yes. AiroHR's employee app for Android and iPhone takes a selfie punch with GPS, and the same attendance runs payroll in the same product, so payable days, overtime and leave reach the salary run without an export. See the GPS attendance app.
What happens when an employee forgets to punch out?
The day shows as a missed punch-out. The employee or HR raises a regularization request, a manager approves it, and the corrected time goes to payroll, with the change kept in the audit trail.
Can I download attendance to Excel?
Yes. AiroHR exports daily attendance sheets, the monthly summary and the muster roll as Excel files.
Every punch recorded. Every hour paid right.
