Employers can't reliably track who showed up across multiple sites. Employees can't prove they arrived at work. Jem Time & Attendance creates a single source of truth for both sides.
Trusted by 200+ employers and 250,000+ deskless workers across Africa
Around 4% of monthly payroll leaks through no-shows, late arrivals and shifts that were paid but never verified. Use your own workforce size and average wage to see what that costs you.

Book a demoMulti-site deskless workforces don't behave like office or factory teams. The tooling has to follow.
There's no hardware to install, no app to push to thousands of phones and no training programme to run. WhatsApp is already on your employees' phones, and they already use it every day. You switch Jem on, register and can start clocking in immediately.
No NFC fobs, no biometric scanners, no app downloads. The delivery channel is WhatsApp.
Employees clock in and out via WhatsApp. Works on any phone with WhatsApp.
Every clock event is verified against the employee's assigned site. Out-of-location attempts are flagged the moment they happen.
Know within minutes when someone misses clock-in. Dispatch relievers before compliance penalties kick in.
See who's on site, who's late and who hasn't arrived, across every site and shift, in real time.
Rostered and actual hours reconciled in one view. Stop paying for shifts that weren't worked.
Every clock event creates a WhatsApp receipt the employee can reference for pay disputes or overtime claims.
Workers don't see attendance tracking. They see a chat that gives them a receipt every time they show up: proof for pay disputes, overtime claims and a record of every shift they worked.
No. Jem T&A doesn't install anything on the phone; employees clock in through a normal WhatsApp chat they can read, search and screenshot. Every event becomes a receipt they own. Most workers prefer it to paper sign-in sheets and biometrics.
WhatsApp works on almost any handset that can send a text, and you don't need a smartphone or data plan to share location. For the small minority without WhatsApp, supervisors can clock them in from WhatsApp, or operational teams from the dashboard.
Supervisors can be assigned to multiple sites or marked as roaming. Clock-ins are verified against any assigned site, and anything outside those geofences is flagged for review rather than auto-rejected.
Yes. Every clock event is timestamped, location-stamped and stored as a WhatsApp message the employee received, so both parties have the same record. This is exactly the evidence trail the CCMA looks for.
No. Jem T&A sits alongside payroll and feeds it cleaner hours data, then exports to whatever system you run (SAP, Sage, PaySpace, SimplePay and others).
Rostering tools tell you who should be on shift. Jem T&A tells you who actually showed up, verified by GPS, in real time, with a receipt for both sides. We integrate with your rostering tool rather than replacing it.
