How face check-in works
Waiting for a face…Detect — Spots a face in front of the kiosk
Align — Lines up the eyes, nose, and mouth
Convert — Turns the face into 128 numbers — no photo saved
Match — Finds the right employee in under a second
Record — Marks attendance with the time and place
Meet PKOS
PKOS (People Key Operating System) is an HRMS for shift businesses in India. It runs attendance, rosters, payroll with PF, ESI and PT, and payslips — now with HR chat, Face ID sign-in, and a payroll check that catches money mistakes before you pay.
See PKOS work
HR chat
Staff message HR about leave, salary, or attendance. Voice notes for anyone who prefers to speak. HR answers from one inbox, with unread counts in the menu.
Payroll error check
Upload your Excel. PKOS checks every line and holds payslips back while real errors remain.
Roster import
Download everyone's current roster, change it in Excel, upload. PKOS reads 9-18, 9am-6pm, split shifts, and OFF, and checks every line first.
| Staff | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aarav S | 9-18 | 9-18 | 9-18 | 9-13 · 17-21 | OFF | 9-18 | 9-18 |
| Meera K | 7-15 | 7-15 | OFF | 7-15 | 7-15 | 7-15 | 7-15 |
| Rohan P | 18-09 ⚠ | 14-22 | 14-22 | 14-22 | OFF | 14-22 | 14-22 |
| Sana M | 6-14 | 6-14 | 6-14 | OFF | 6-14 | 6-14 | 6-14 |
Line 4 · Mon “18-09”: the end must be after the start.
Face ID sign-in
No waiting for an email code. The phone unlocks PKOS with the face or fingerprint already on it — nothing about your face is sent to PKOS.

How PKOS handles it
Why PKOS is different
Most HR software was built for desks. PKOS was built for the floor — and it shows in every one of these.
01
Built for every floor
PKOS is built and run every day on a live seven-day floor — split shifts, Sundays, holidays, and month-end rush. What works there works on yours, whatever you run.
Roster-aware
Not a fixed 9-to-6. Late, half day, and holiday work are measured against the roster that person actually had.
Paperless, OTP-signed
Offer, appointment, warning, and relieving letters go to the employee's email and are signed with an OTP — with a full audit trail.
No app store
A light web app staff add to their home screen. No Play Store, no App Store, no update prompts — always the latest version.
Your files, your Drive
ID proofs, certificates, and signed letters are filed to the business's own Drive. Full access, no lock-in.
New in PKOS
HR chat with voice notes, a payroll check that catches money mistakes, Face ID sign-in, and a new staff app — every card here is live in PKOS today.
HR chat · New
Staff ask HR about leave, salary, or attendance inside the app, by text or a voice note. HR answers every conversation from one inbox. Can't sign in? Message HR straight from the login page and HR calls back.
Paid twice, more paid days than the month has, wrong joining dates — caught line by line, and fixed on screen before payslips go out.
Payroll
Missed the front desk? Staff send a check-in request with their location, and HR approves it in one tap.
Attendance
Passkeys sign staff in with the face or fingerprint already on their phone — no waiting for an email code.
Sign-in
The whole team's week from one Excel sheet — split shifts and weekly offs included, every line checked first.
Rosters
Upload Employee ID, paid days, and gross. PF, ESI, PT, and weekly offs are worked out; publish payslips, then download the salary statement and bank advice. Saved months can be opened and fixed any time.
Payroll
Home with one-tap actions, Chat, Pay, and a Me tab that shows one next step, plain statuses, and a timeline for every request to HR.
Staff app
Any tablet becomes the branch check-in point, paired by QR, approved by HR, and locked to the branch location — with live status of who is on the floor.
Front desk
Run every business from one place with Master Admin, Admin, and HR roles. Support opens a business only with a reason, view-only by default, and every visit is shown to that business.

Open PKOS in the morning and see the whole business at a glance: every department, every shift, every branch, consolidated and live.

Discipline, without a culture of fear
Clear rules, records everyone trusts, fair consequences, and recognition for doing it right. That is what turns attendance software into a disciplined floor.
The accountability loop
Clear rules + trusted records + fair consequences + recognition = accountability.
Each person sees their shift, weekly off, and the grace period and late rules HR sets — in their own app, before the day starts.

No app store needed
PKOS is a light web app. Staff open a link, add it to their home screen, and it behaves like any app — fast, full screen, and always on the latest version.
Runs over HTTPS in the device's own browser — nothing to side-load, and only camera or location access when a check-in needs it. HR works from the same app on a laptop or desktop.

Location-based check-in
Kiosk, phone, or field — PKOS knows the difference, and so does your payroll.
Each branch has a radius. Check-in from the staff app works inside it — no proxy punches from home.
Working outside the fence? Raise a visit check-in. The location is captured and HR approves each one.
The kiosk tablet still does contactless face check-in in under a second. Every method lands in one register.
You · 161 m from branch
Outside fenceDrag the blue dot or tap the map, then check in.
Staff safety
Safety starts with knowing who is in the building, who is out in the field, and who is still working late. PKOS keeps that record live — not in a register in a drawer.

Main branch · 10:18 pm
Checked out tonight
A live on-duty count for every branch — the list you need in an emergency or evacuation.
Every check-out is recorded. HR sees who is still on the floor after hours — the record night-shift safety needs.
Home visits and field work capture location at check-in, so someone always knows where a colleague is.
Who is on break, for how long, and still on the premises — fair to staff, clear for managers.
Face match means nobody checks in for someone else — so the headcount you rely on is real.
Every change to attendance and pay is logged with who made it and when.
Payslips
Attendance, incentive, double pay, and statutory deductions — calculated once, explained line by line, and in the staff app the same day.

Questions
PKOS (People Key Operating System) is an HRMS for businesses that work in shifts. Staff check in by face on a wall kiosk or any tablet, phone, or laptop, or by GPS geo-fence on their own phone. Attendance then flows into rosters, leave, payroll with PF, ESI and professional tax, payslips, and OTP e-signed HR letters — in one system.
Yes. The PKOS face kiosk is touchless, so there is no shared sensor to wipe or wear out, and any tablet or phone with a camera can act as a check-in point. Attendance goes straight into payroll instead of being exported from a machine.
Yes — PKOS runs on your rules, not ours. HR sets the grace period, late and half-day rules, leave types and comp-off expiry, double pay or comp-off for holiday work, weekly roster templates, each branch's geo-fence radius, and the wording of every letter. PKOS applies them the same way to everyone, and staff can see the rules that apply to them.
Only a 128-number descriptor is kept for matching.
Employee documents live in your own Google Drive.
Who changed attendance or pay, and when.
Verified email, time, and device on every signature.
Runs over HTTPS; HR access only for the people you choose.
Built for Indian payroll, PF, ESI, PT, and labour rules.
