Additional Facial Recognition Tips

Sometimes you will notice that the facial recognition feature does not capture the punch in/out. Here are some tips to improve your photos for seamless facial recognition use:

  • Find a well-lit area
  • Avoid shadows and light sources that cast harsh shadows
  • Look straight ahead (not down) toward the camera
  • Cast a neutral facial expression
  • Look directly at your phone when taking the photo
  • Keep your phone and head upright (Don't tilt your head left or right)
  • Hold your phone vertically
  • Avoid having other people in the background behind you
  • Ensure your whole face is visible
  • Look for backgrounds that have a significant contrast with the pigmentation of your face
  • If your face changes significantly, you may need to talk to your service rep to update your reference photos (growing/removing facial hair, changing/adding/removing glasses)
  • Ensure there is nothing between the camera and your face
  • Remove headbands, hats, sunglasses, etc.
  • Move any bangs/hair that may be covering parts of your face

If you do not have your facial recognition profile setup, and you attempt to punch in when your assignment requires facial recognition, you will be shown the following screen:
