Attendance control for security and guarding companies
How to control guards on around-the-clock shifts: clock-in and clock-out with location and photo, shift handovers, supervision and evidence for your client.
In security and guarding, an absence is not just a lost day: it is an uncovered post. That is why guard attendance control must be precise, immediate and verifiable.
What makes this operation different
- Long, rotating shifts, often day, night and weekends.
- Shift handovers that must match: if the relief does not arrive, the guard cannot leave the post.
- Posts at third-party facilities, where the client demands evidence that someone is always there.
- Field supervision, with visits that must be recorded.
What to control
- Check-in, break and check-out of each guard, with location and photo.
- Who is at each post at each moment, by client.
- Delays and absences reported to the supervisor instantly, to cover in time.
- Supervision visits with photo evidence and a log.
- Incidents reported from the phone, with date, time and responsible person.
- Hours worked, to watch the legal limits on working hours and overtime.
Working hours and overtime
Long shifts force you to watch the legal limits on working hours and overtime, which also change in stages under the reform. See the 2026–2030 working-hours calendar and the guide on overtime. A record per person and per day shows you who is approaching the cap before it becomes a problem.
Evidence for the client
When the client asks whether there was a guard at a certain post at a certain time, the best answer is a record with date, time, location and photo. A client portal lets them check it without calling you.
PPanel records staff by client and post, alerts you to absences and delays and keeps the evidence searchable. Request a demo.
