Buddy punching
Buddy punching is when one employee clocks in or out on behalf of an absent coworker, recording hours the coworker did not actually work.
맥락 속에서
Buddy punching is one of the most common forms of time fraud in shift and hourly work. It thrives wherever clock-in is anonymous or shared: a single terminal, a password everyone knows, or a sheet anyone can sign. Estimates of its cost to employers vary, but even small amounts of padded time add up across a workforce paid by the hour. Approaches to prevent it range from biometrics to individual logins to device-bound credentials.

BriefQR gives each operator a PIN bound to their own device with no shared logins, so a clock-in reflects the person who was actually there, without resorting to biometrics.
