If you are sued, you have evidence to show
Nobody can edit a check-in, not even an admin. Every change is recorded.
Every action, with who, when and where
Every action in Presente writes an event. The event keeps who did it, with which role and what they did. It also keeps the server time, the phone time and the device. At check-in, it keeps the position.
- Check-ins: start, end, break, automatic close, rejected attempt and the result of the check.
- Overtime, vacation and leave: request, approval, rejection and expiry.
- Policies: every change, with the old value, the new value, the effective date and the reason.
- Clarifications: who asked for it, who answered and what they said.
- Personal data: who viewed or exported the data of another person.
Chained hash and signed checkpoints
- Each event has a SHA-256 hash that includes the hash of the event before it. If an event changes, the chain stops matching from that event on.
- Every day at 00:05, the server signs a checkpoint with an Ed25519 key.
- Presente has no function to edit or delete an event. Not for an admin, not for support.
- A correction is a new event. It cites the original event, and both stay visible.
Check it yourself, whenever you want
"Verify integrity" recalculates the chain of a period. The result says how many events it checked and whether they match. If they do not match, it says at which event the chain broke and opens a risk.
The evidence for one person, in one step
- You choose a person, a period and the reason.
- Before it generates the file, Presente verifies the chain of the period.
- The employee file brings together check-ins, hours, overtime, vacation, clarifications and notifications with acknowledgment of receipt.
- Formats: PDF, CSV and JSON with the hash of each event.
- Generating it is also recorded in the event log, with its reason.
The law asks you to keep records and show them
Presente keeps the events for the whole employment relationship and for 18 months after the person leaves. Art. 804 of the LFT (Federal Labor Law) asks for 1 year.
The event log helps prove what happened. The authority decides the weight of the evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Who sees the event log?
An admin. Each person sees their own workdays and requests in their app.
What happens with a wrong check-in?
The person asks for a clarification with the reason. An admin answers it. The original check-in does not change, and the clarification stays linked to it.
Is anything ever deleted?
When the legal retention period ends, the personal data is blocked. The hashes stay.
