Employee Attendance System in Cambodia
GPS, face-scan and QR check-in, shifts, overtime and leave, and the Cambodian labour rules behind them.
An employee attendance system records when each staff member starts and finishes work, checks that they are really where they should be, and turns that record into working hours, overtime, leave and payroll. For businesses in Cambodia, a good system supports GPS, face-scan or QR check-ins, works in Khmer and English, and follows Cambodian working-time, overtime and holiday rules. CheckinMe does this for 5,000+ businesses and 200,000+ employees.
Four ways staff can check in
GPS check-in on the phone
Staff check in from the CheckinMe app. The location is recorded, and the check-in is only accepted inside the branch area you set. Best for offices, shops and staff who move between sites.
Face scan
The app takes a selfie at check-in and verifies it with face recognition, which stops one person checking in for another.
AI Face Device
For factories, construction sites and large teams without smartphones: workers check in just by walking past the device, with voice prompts in Khmer.
QR code
Staff scan a QR code at the entrance. Fast, low-cost and good for a single fixed location.
| Method | Best for | Needs a smartphone? |
|---|---|---|
| GPS | Offices, shops, field staff | Yes |
| Face scan (app) | Teams that need identity checks | Yes |
| AI Face Device | Factories, large teams | No |
| QR code | One fixed entrance | Yes |
From check-in to payroll, automatically
Shifts and schedules
Set workdays, shifts, split shifts and days off per team or per person. Lates and early leaves are calculated against each employee's own schedule.
Overtime
Staff request overtime in the app and managers approve or reject it with one tap. Approved overtime goes straight into payroll.
Leave
Employees request annual, sick and other leave from their phones, and balances update automatically.
Real-time alerts and reports
Managers get a Telegram message when staff check in or out, plus scheduled daily, weekly and monthly reports.
Payroll
Hours, lates, overtime, allowances and leave feed payroll directly, including NSSF contributions and tax on salary, and every employee receives a payslip in the app.
Cambodian labour rules your attendance system should handle
- Working hours: the standard is 8 hours a day and 48 hours a week. Hours beyond that are overtime.
- Overtime pay: 150% of the normal rate, and 200% at night or on the weekly day off.
- Weekly rest: at least 24 consecutive hours each week, usually Sunday.
- Public holidays: the list is set by the government each year, and work on a public holiday is paid at a higher rate.
- Annual leave: employees earn 1.5 days of paid leave per month of service, with extra days for seniority.
- Records: keep accurate attendance and payroll records for labour inspections and NSSF.
In CheckinMe you set the holiday calendar, overtime rates and leave rules for your company, so the calculations follow your policy and the law.
What to look for when choosing an attendance system
- Proof of presence: GPS or face verification, not honour-system check-ins.
- Fits your workforce: a phone app for staff with smartphones, a device for those without.
- Khmer and English for staff and managers.
- Connected to payroll, so nobody re-types hours into spreadsheets.
- Local support from a team in Phnom Penh that knows Cambodian rules.
- Clear per-employee pricing that stays affordable as you grow.
