Questions

Can employees fake their punch time or punch from home?+
The time is taken from Kite's server, not the phone. Set your office location in Back office → Branches and choose to flag or block punches outside the radius. Field staff can be allowed to punch from anywhere.
We already have a biometric machine. Can we keep it?+
Yes. Export the attendance from the machine's software (eSSL, ZKTeco, Realtime and most others) as CSV and import it in the muster. Direct machine sync is on the roadmap.
Are PF, ESI, PT and TDS calculated automatically?+
Yes — from each employee's salary, paid days and state. Rates and Professional Tax slabs are editable in Back office, because they change. You get the ECR file for the EPFO portal and an ESI sheet each month. Please have your CA confirm your settings.
Can managers see salaries?+
No. Managers see their team's attendance, leave, requests and goals. Salary, payslips, bank and ID numbers go only to the employee and to HR / the owner — this is enforced on the server.
Do employees need to install an app?+
No. Kite People works in the phone browser. Add it to the home screen for one-tap access.
Where is our data stored?+
On Kite's cloud database, synced to every device. Download a full backup any time from Back office.
