Face terminals at bus bays
Weather-resistant IP66 face terminals mounted at each bus loading bay. Sub-1-second capture per worker; a bus of 50 boards in under a minute.
Workforce operations
Attendance from labour camp to site, in one record
Face terminals at bus bays record who boarded the shift bus, so no-shows are visible before the site even knows. Combined with site-gate records, HR sees the full timeline from accommodation to site, with WPS-ready payroll monthly.
- Bus embarkation captured at the camp
- Site arrival captured at the gate
- One record per employee, both events
- WPS-ready payroll export monthly
Why bus embarkation matters
In UAE construction, cleaning and facilities operations, staff live in accommodation villages and are bussed to site every shift. Traditional attendance only captures the site gate, so no-shows only appear once the site opens; if a worker missed the bus, the gap between board and arrival is invisible. Recording embarkation at the bus bay closes that gap: HR sees who boarded, who did not, and who arrived on site, all against one payroll record.
How Timesync handles camp-to-site attendance
One system, two capture points, one payroll record.
Site gate arrival record
The same worker enrols once, appears at both events. Site gate reads face or palm-vein depending on the environment (dust, gloves).
Gap detection between board and arrival
If a worker boarded but did not arrive on site, HR is notified before the shift starts. Same for arrivals without embarkation (walk-ins to site).
Per-project cost allocation
Each site or project carries its cost code. Payroll and finance see exactly how many hours went into each project.
WPS-ready payroll export
Hours, overtime, absences reconcile to WPS SIF monthly. Tested against a live payroll run at handover.
Bilingual UI and audio prompts
Face terminals prompt in English, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi and Malayalam so every worker understands. Audio confirmation on successful punch.
Who uses camp-to-site attendance
Construction operators
Multi-site rotations, hundreds of workers, per-project cost allocation, MOHRE-inspection-ready records.
Cleaning contractors
Staff rotating between accommodation, client sites and depot. Records reconcile to WPS regardless of daily site.
Facilities management
Shift workers based at multiple client sites. Bus embarkation records show contract compliance to the client.
Landscape and horticulture crews
Bussed from camp to client sites daily. Per-site cost allocation for billable client work.
Security services
Guards deployed to multiple client sites from a single accommodation. Site-hour records reconcile per client.
Airport ground services
Bussed from staff village to airport. Embarkation records feed per-flight labour costs.

Labour-camp attendance questions
How does bus embarkation avoid queue-jumping?
The face terminal reads in under a second per worker; a bus of 50 boards in under a minute. Bus doors open only when the terminal confirms; no card-share, no queue-jumping.
What happens when the internet drops at the camp?
Face terminals cache locally with 100,000-record capacity. Records sync automatically when connectivity returns; no attendance is lost.
Can bus embarkation and site attendance count as the same record?
Yes. Both events append to the same employee record; payroll sees one timeline. HR sees the gap between board and arrival separately for operations visibility.
Do you handle multiple bus routes from one camp?
Yes. Each bus and each destination is a cost code. Workers boarding the Al Quoz bus vs the Jebel Ali bus feed different project cost centres.
Can records satisfy MOHRE labour-accommodation inspections?
Yes. Tamper-evident records with worker face templates, timestamps, embarkation events and site arrival events. MOHRE inspectors accept the format as authoritative.
Do you supply weather-resistant terminals for outdoor bus bays?
Yes. IP66 marine-grade terminals rated to 60°C, with shaded mounting hoods for direct sun exposure. Face capture works reliably even in dusty conditions.
