> PKOS is an HRMS (human resources management system) for shift businesses in India. Staff check in by face on a wall kiosk or any tablet, phone, or laptop with a camera, or by GPS geo-fence on their own phone.

## Who it is for
Gyms and fitness studios, restaurants and cafés, clinics and hospitals, salons and spas, schools and coaching centres, retail stores, hotels, offices, factories, and security services — from a single 5-person branch to multi-location chains.

## What PKOS does
- Face check-in: touchless wall kiosk, or any tablet, phone, or laptop with a camera. Face match in under a second. No face photo is stored — only a 128-number descriptor.
- GPS geo-fence check-in on the employee's own phone, plus field and home visits approved by HR.
- Roster-aware attendance: each day is judged against the person's own shift, including split shifts, weekly offs, and holidays.
- Live floor dashboard: who is on shift, on break, late, out, or on leave, by department and shift.
- Staff see their own record live: on time or late, earnings so far this month, and the late rules HR sets.
- Leave management with balances and one-tap approvals.
- Payroll from attendance with PF, ESI, and professional tax by state slab; holiday work as comp-off or double pay; full and final settlement in the same run.
- Payslips published to the staff app with every line explained.
- Paperless HR letters from templates (offer, appointment, warning, relieving, full and final, Form 11, TDS), e-signed by the employee with an email OTP, with an audit trail and confirmation emails.
- Email alerts for late check-ins and approvals.
- Employee documents stored in the business's own Google Drive; home address verified by geolocation.
- Installable PWA: works on phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop; updates itself; no app store.

## New in PKOS (live today)
- HR chat: staff message HR inside the app by text or voice note, tagged Leave, Salary, Attendance, or Documents. HR answers from one inbox. People who cannot sign in can message HR from the login page.
- Payroll error check: before payslips are published, PKOS flags staff paid twice, more paid days than the month has, future joining dates, and attendance before joining or after leaving. Each line is fixed on screen.
- Payslips, salary statement, and bank advice straight from an uploaded payroll sheet; saved months can be reopened and corrected.
- Passkey sign-in: Face ID or fingerprint on the user's own device, with an email one-time code as backup.
- Roster import from Excel: 09:00-18:00, 9-18, 9am-6pm, split shifts, and OFF; every line checked before saving; kept in roster history.
- Request check-in: staff who miss the front desk send their location; HR approves in one tap.
- New staff app: Home, Attendance, Chat, Pay, and a Me tab with one next step and a timeline of every request.
- Many businesses, one owner console with Master Admin, Admin, and HR roles; support access is time-limited, view-only by default, and logged for the business to see.
- Every list in the HR console pages through 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, or all rows.

## Quick answers
- What is PKOS? PKOS (People Key Operating System) is an HRMS for shift businesses in India: attendance, rosters, leave, payroll with PF/ESI/PT, payslips, and HR chat in one installable app.
- Can PKOS catch payroll mistakes? Yes — its payroll error check flags double payments, impossible paid days, and wrong joining dates before payslips go out.
- Where is PKOS made? Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

## Configured to each business's own rules
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 consistently and shows staff the rules that apply to them.

## Compliance notes
- India's four labour codes (in force 21 November 2025) ask for an appointment letter and a wage slip for every worker; PKOS issues both.
- DPDP Act 2023: PKOS keeps no face photos and logs every change to attendance or pay.
