Local payroll availableCurrency: USDAlobri Time is time and attendance software in Ecuador 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 Ecuador the maximum workday is eight hours and the maximum workweek is 40 hours, and the Labor Code separates supplementary hours from extraordinary hours.
In Ecuador, supervisors and HR review daily exceptions, approve overtime and excused absences, and pre-payroll is generated from that data with no manual entry.
