Clock Puncher

Published 11 February 2026, Updated 11 February 2026

Welcome. This page is for regular users who only need to clock in and clock out during the day. The system is made to be simple in daily use, even if the rules behind it are strict for payroll accuracy.

Quick Start

When you arrive at a punch device, open the Clock Puncher screen and allow camera access if requested. Then show your personal QR code to the camera.

If the scan is successful, the system recognizes you and shows what action is possible next.

  • If you are not currently punched in, you will choose an activity and punch in.
  • If you are currently punched in, you will punch out of your active activity.

Normal Daily Flow

Most users follow this exact routine:

  1. Scan QR code using your mobile device AirSupervision app.
  2. Check your name on screen.
  3. Choose the activity shown.
  4. Confirm the action by tapping the activity card.
  5. Repeat later to punch out.

What the Screen Means

After scan, the screen can show one of two states.

The first state means you are ready to punch in. In this case, choose the activity that matches what you are starting.

The second state means you are already active and can punch out. In this case, use the punch-out option shown on your active card.

Common Rules (In normal words)

To keep records valid, the system does not allow impossible action sequences.

  • You cannot punch in twice in a row without punching out.
  • You cannot punch out if there is no active punch in.
  • Punch out must match your currently active activity.

This is normal and protects your final worked-time totals.

Common Messages and What to Do

If you see an error, the message usually tells you what to do next.

If the device says it is not authorized, contact an admin user to register that device.

If the system says devices are locked, it means admin users temporarily paused punch devices.

If the page cannot connect, wait a moment and try again. If the issue continues, contact your admin.

If the camera is not scanning well, hold the QR code steady and use the Scan button to restart cleanly.

Security Reminder (For Users)

The Clock Puncher only works on approved devices. This protects your time records and prevents unauthorized devices from punching.

Each device uses a unique fingerprint for security. After a major operating system or browser/software update, that fingerprint can change. If this happens, the device may no longer be recognized and an admin user will need to resync it before it can be used again.

Good Usage Tips

Use the same punch device behavior every day: scan, verify, tap, done. This avoids mistakes and keeps your records clean.

If you think you made a wrong punch, do not try random actions to fix it. Report it to an admin user so they can correct it properly.
