QR-Based Attendance Tracking in Remote and Hybrid Work
Summary: Hybrid attendance should manage agreed work rhythms, responsibilities, and exceptions—not continuously monitor people. QR can fit limited, clearly defined scenarios.
Attendance is not productivity
A scan may show presence at a place and time; it does not prove contribution or performance. Keeping this distinction prevents the system from becoming punitive surveillance.
Proportionate design
- Document purpose and decision use.
- Record necessary events instead of continuous location.
- Limit monitoring outside work time.
- Do not make attendance the sole performance or disciplinary evidence.
- Provide explanation, correction, and challenge routes.
Conclusion
Good hybrid time tracking balances the work agreement, operational needs, and employee privacy rather than recording every movement.
