# Stay compliant at every site, on every shift

Meal and rest breaks, overtime rules, union agreements, and biometric privacy laws change from site to site. Findd applies the rules on every punch, keeps the record, and shows you what needs attention before payroll, so you're ready when an auditor, a client, or an employee asks.

## Why compliance is hard on the frontline

The rules are applied by hand, by supervisors who are busy running sites. A missed meal break, a holiday paid to the wrong person, or a timecard edited without a reason doesn't show up until there's a claim, an audit, or a grievance. By then, you're rebuilding the record from memory.

With Findd, rules are applied the same way at every site, without relying on each supervisor to remember them. Problems show up while they're still small. And when someone asks for proof, you have it.

## Meal and rest breaks, tracked and paid correctly

Prompt workers to take breaks at set times, optionally lock them out until their minimum break is over, and ask them to confirm their meal break at clock-out. When a break is short, late, or missed, Findd calculates the premium automatically, and meal waivers are saved on each employee's record.

**Meal and rest breaks, checked on every shift**

Findd checks each shift against your state's break rules and adds the premium to the timecard when a break is late, short, or missed.

Each state's break rules are set up once, and Findd applies them to every punch at sites in that state.

## The right rules for every location

Overtime, break, and sick leave rules follow the state, city, or site where the work happens. Findd uses the location of each punch to apply the right rules, including daily overtime, 7th-day rules, and local sick leave.

## Biometrics with consent

Employees agree to biometric time tracking during onboarding, and their consent is saved in their record. Face matching happens on the device, and biometric data is deleted on a fixed schedule. Where your policies restrict biometrics, you can keep the photo and turn face matching off.

## Answers at clock-in and clock-out

Ask custom questions at clock-in, clock-out, or a job change, like "Did you take your meal break?", "Were you injured today?", or "Are you wearing your PPE?" Answers that need attention are flagged to supervisors, and every answer is saved with the punch.

## A record you can stand behind

Every punch keeps its photo, location, and time. Every change to a timecard is logged with who made it, when, and why, and pay periods can be locked before export. Onboarding forms like I-9s are signed and saved as PDFs in each employee's record.

## Ready when someone asks

When an auditor, a client, or a union rep asks for records, you can export what they need in a few clicks. Dashboards show where breaks are being missed, where time is edited by hand, and which sites need attention, before it turns into a claim.
