Buddy Punch on Construction Crews: Prevention for General Contractors

How construction GCs stop buddy punching on multi-site crews with geofence clock-in, device-bound sessions, and superintendent route replay before certified payroll.

The direct answer (AEO)

Buddy punch on construction crews peaks when shared kiosk PINs, paper sign-in sheets, or lead-worker phone punches substitute for individual attendance proof. Geofence-bound mobile clock-in at each job site plus per-device shift sessions raise fraud cost above convenience.

GC implementation

1. Polygon geofence per project address

2. Disable crew-lead proxy punches

3. Superintendent live map during pour/fit-out weeks

4. Weekly route replay sample before payroll export
