Sridhatrikrishna Staff Attendance Yantra – Lite

Free supervised staff attendance for a shared workplace computer. Test on a staging site, keep recoverable backups, and review the privacy and security documentation before production use.

• Administrators create staff records without creating WordPress accounts.
• The administrator chooses each staff code or generates an eight-character code in the browser.
• Codes are case-insensitive, hashed for authentication and encrypted for deliberate administrator-only reveal.
• Enable any number of staff members; shift history is retained when access is disabled.
• Set your own hospital/company name under Sridhatrikrishna Attendance > Setup.
• A logged-in administrator supervises the shared-computer attendance page while staff enter their codes.
• Explicit Check in and Check out buttons, with server-generated success/error messages.
• Server-generated UTC timestamps; display in the WordPress timezone with DD/MM/YYYY dates.
• Duplicate check-ins and check-outs are rejected; multiple completed shifts per day and overnight shifts are supported.
• Administrator-only date-range reports and CSV export.
• No expiry, paid unlock, staff quota, telemetry, API key, external service, camera or location permission.
• No theme dependency; a shortcode provides the staff interface.

This edition depends on administrator supervision and is not independent proof of physical presence. Anyone who knows another person’s code could act as that person if the supervisor permits it. It contains no face recognition, GPS, registered-device restrictions, payroll, breaks, midpoint attendance, automatic checkout, record correction or scheduled email.

Pro and Advanced Pro

Pro is being prepared for verified attendance with administrator-approved enrollment, attendance-event face checks, location rules and expanded auditing. Advanced Pro is planned to add explicit-permission work-hours location visibility through a companion app. These are separate products, not hidden or locked code inside Free.

Pro and Advanced Pro are separate products and are not included or locked inside this plugin. Free continues to work without a Pro purchase.

Distribution

The same Free release may be available from the official website and the WordPress Plugin Directory. The website copy must identify its version and checksum and remain synchronized with the directory stable release. WordPress.org remains the update source for the directory edition; this plugin does not fetch or install executable updates from the publisher’s website.

Privacy

Stored by this plugin: staff name and identifier, enabled status, creation time, keyed one-way staff-code hash, encrypted staff code, check-in UTC time and optional check-out UTC time. Administrators can deliberately reveal eligible encrypted codes, view reports and export CSV. Protect administrator accounts, WordPress salts and backups because they control access to those codes. No biometric, raw video, phone, GPS, device fingerprint or IP data is intentionally collected by this plugin, and no attendance data or telemetry is intentionally transmitted to the publisher. WordPress, the host and security software may independently create logs or backups. Deactivation and plugin-file deletion retain records. Site operators must define employee notices, lawful purpose, access controls, correction, retention, export and erasure procedures. No legal compliance guarantee is made.
