Preventing Punch-Time Spoofing in Manufacturing with CloudApper hrPad for Workday

Every fraudulent punch-in chips away at payroll accuracy, workforce accountability, and operational trust. In manufacturing, where shift coverage is critical and time tracking occurs across shared devices, punch-time spoofing isn’t just a small leak—it’s a flood. That’s why more Workday users in the manufacturing industry are turning to CloudApper hrPad to plug this costly gap with secure, real-time biometric verification.

Q: Why is punch-time spoofing a serious issue in the manufacturing industry?

A: Manufacturing facilities often operate in shifts and rely on shared kiosks or time clocks for employee attendance tracking. This makes them especially vulnerable to punch-time spoofing—when one employee clocks in for another, or when fake credentials are used to log hours. The result is payroll fraud, inaccurate labor data, and increased compliance risk.

Q: Can Workday alone prevent spoofed punch-ins on the factory floor?

A: No. While Workday is excellent for processing and managing time data, it doesn’t control how that data is captured. Without a secure front-end system like CloudApper hrPad, spoofed punches can go undetected.

Q: What does CloudApper hrPad do differently?

A: hrPad uses AI-based facial recognition with liveness detection to verify that each clock-in is real, secure, and tied to the right employee. It also locks down the device to ensure no backdoor access or bypassing of security measures.

Q: How does hrPad integrate with our Workday setup?

A: CloudApper hrPad connects to Workday via secure APIs. All verified punch data is synced in real time, ensuring accurate payroll and labor tracking without manual imports or corrections.

Q: What kind of results can a manufacturing company expect after implementing hrPad?

A: Manufacturers typically report up to 75% fewer spoofed clock-ins, a 50% reduction in payroll errors, and improved shift accountability. It also helps meet labor law compliance with audit-ready records.

Q: Will this work for line workers and non-desk staff?

A: Yes. hrPad is designed for kiosk-based usage and is extremely user-friendly. Employees simply scan their face to clock in, and the system does the rest in seconds.

Q: How can we get started with hrPad for our manufacturing site?
