Why Aurora Check-in

A time clock that also save your evidence.

Designed for the 2027 reform (article 132, section XXXIV, LFT), for businesses of any size.

Evidence

Evidence, not just attendance.

Each record is saved with the server time, device, and location at the time of clocking. It cannot be edited or deleted: corrections are made separately, with justification and with the employee's consent.

Package ready to be delivered to the authority or the court.

Two minutes

Two minutes per worker.

You send them a link via SMS or WhatsApp, they confirm their phone number, accept the registration, and that's it. They don't need an email address, tax ID, or to install an app.

Shared cell phone or none? Kiosk mode with PIN on a tablet or on the manager's cell phone.

$0 always

Free forever.

Registering, reporting, exporting, and storing your records is free and will remain free. Aurora Inbox offers this service to get to know you.

If you want more someday, it will be optional.

What the law says

No registration required. The worker's word is presumed.

The law places the burden of proof on the employer. That's why the record must exist, be complete, and be verifiable.

2027

On January 1st, the STPS rules for the electronic registration of each worker's workday come into effect.

The hours of the reform, counted alone.

Hours per day and week, the 46-hour cap in 2027 and its reduction to 40 in 2030, double and triple overtime, lateness and absences, breaks, Sundays, holidays and missing records.

Working days off, Sundays and holidays. Vacations, sick leave and other authorized absences do not count as absences.

Privacy

Privacy that you can explain to your people.

Your team knows what gets saved and what doesn't. This makes it easier for everyone to agree to the log.

Location

Only when dialing.

The location is saved at the time of registration, and the manager sees the distance to the branch. There is never continuous tracking.

Without biometrics

Never a footprint or a face.

Your people register with their confirmed phone number or with their PIN at the business kiosk.

Access

Your records are yours.

Each worker can view and download their own records.

Use of data

For nothing more.

Your employees' data is not used for any other purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

That's what they almost always ask us.

Do you have another question? Leave us your details and we'll contact you via WhatsApp.

Is it really free?

Yes. Registration, reporting, exporting, and storage are free and will remain so. Aurora Inbox develops other products for businesses, and we'd love for you to learn more about us.

Is it useful if my employees don't have cell phones?

Yes, using kiosk mode on a tablet or phone at the business, or on the manager's cell phone. Each person logs in with their own PIN.

How do I know they called from work?

Each record saves the location at that moment and alerts you if it's far from the branch. For added security, place a screen at the entrance with a QR code that changes every 30 seconds: only those present can scan it. Nothing blocks a record; anything unusual is flagged for your review.

What if someone forgets to check in?

His phone reminds him before he enters and exits. If he still forgets, he requests clarification from his phone, and you approve it. The original record is kept.

What if there's no signal?

The record is saved on the phone and then synchronized, preserving both times.

Can I correct a record?

Yes, but the original is never erased: the correction is set aside for a reason and the worker either accepts it or disputes it.

Can I register vacations and absences?

Yes. Vacations, sick leave, permits, and holidays do not count as absences. For sick leave, only the IMSS (Mexican Social Security Institute) registration number and dates are kept, never medical documents.

What do I hand over if I'm inspected or sued?

The package for the authority: reports per worker, CSV, the integrity manifesto and the acceptances of each worker.

Who does it apply to and since when?

The law already requires electronic recording of working hours (LFT art. 132 fr. XXXIV). The STPS regulations will take effect on January 1, 2027, and will define who is subject to them and with what exceptions; the STPS has stated that adoption will be gradual, starting with large and medium-sized companies. Even if your business is required to implement this later, the record will serve as evidence from day one if someone claims overtime.

Does this guarantee that I will comply with the law?

No tool guarantees that. We provide the electronic record with the evidence and preservation required by law; compliance with schedules, payments, and STPS regulations remains the employer's responsibility.
