Time tracking for care homes and clinic shift staff
BriefQR gives care homes and clinics a calm way to record shift hours: staff scan a QR at the ward or entrance and enter a PIN. It avoids shared logins and biometrics, keeps GPS as a soft signal only, and is built to sit comfortably alongside works-council and privacy expectations.
Il problema
Shift work in care is dense with handovers, ward coverage to account for, and staff who cannot stop mid-task to fuss with a clock. Hours often get logged late or estimated, which makes coverage and overtime hard to see clearly. On top of that, time tracking in healthcare is sensitive: works councils and privacy rules mean anything that looks like biometric capture or surveillance of staff is a non-starter.
How BriefQR fits a ward or clinic
Place a QR at each ward or entrance; staff scan and enter a PIN at the start and end of a shift, including across handovers. There are no shared logins to pass around and no biometrics; a PIN bound to a device is enough to keep punches honest. GPS stays a soft review signal rather than tracking, which keeps the system on the right side of works-council and privacy concerns while still giving managers a dependable record of who covered which shift.
Ciò che conta di più
PIN, no biometrics
Staff clock in with a PIN bound to their device (no fingerprints, no face scans), which sidesteps the biometric concerns that stall healthcare rollouts.
Privacy-respecting by design
Soft GPS as a review signal, not surveillance, makes BriefQR easier to bring to a works council than location-tracking systems.
Clean shift and handover records
Each ward or entrance gets a QR, so shift starts, ends, and handover coverage are captured where staff already pass, not reconstructed later.
Neutral export to payroll
Hours export by signed webhook or REST/CSV, with a Kimai reference connector, so shift and overtime data reaches payroll without a lock-in.
Domande frequenti
Does BriefQR use fingerprints or facial recognition?
No. Staff clock in with a PIN bound to their own device. There is no biometric capture, which is usually a requirement for care and clinical settings.
Will this pass a works council review?
BriefQR is built to be defensible: GPS is a soft review signal rather than live tracking, there are no biometrics, and hours export neutrally. Many works councils object to surveillance-style systems, and BriefQR is deliberately not one.
How does it handle shift handovers across wards?
Each ward or entrance can have its own QR, so staff clock in and out where they actually work. Handover coverage shows up clearly instead of being estimated at the end of the day.
