Local payroll availableCurrency: CLPAlobri Time is time and attendance software in Chile that captures every punch from a facial recognition kiosk with liveness detection, from the iOS and Android app with geofencing and selfie, or from the web with approved IP addresses. In Chile the maximum ordinary workweek has been 42 hours since April 26, 2026, and electronic attendance systems must meet Labor Directorate requirements.
In Chile, supervisors and HR review daily exceptions, approve overtime and excused absences, and pre-payroll is generated from that data with no manual entry.

The kiosk uses facial recognition with liveness detection, the app requires a selfie inside the geofence, and web clock-in can be limited to approved IP addresses. Every punch is tied to the person, the place and the method used.
