- authenticating, by the time management server, an employee device;
authenticating, by the time management server, a supervisor device;
receiving, by the time management server, an employee image having a code from the employee device in response to a time punch event;
decrypting, by the time management server, a the code from the employee image to derive a set of location information;
comparing, by the time management server, the set of location information to an expected job site location to determine a location match condition;
generating, by the time management server, a set of time punch data for a work shift for the expected job site location when the set of location information matches the expected job site location;
sending, by the time management server, an alert to the supervisor device when the set of location information does not match the expected job location;
comparing, by the time management server, the employee image to an archived image to derive an employee match condition;
validating, by the time management server, the set of time punch data using the employee match condition; and
,deriving, by the time management server, a payment amount based on the set of time punch data, the location match condition, and the employee match condition.

Abstract
A system and method to manage employee time at a set of job sites. A time management system comprises a server in communications with a database in which a set of job site data is stored. An employee device application is installed on a set of employee devices. The set of employee devices are in communication with the server through the employee device application. The set of employee devices collect a set of time punch data and a set of photos from the set of employees at check-in events and check-out events. The set of time punch data and the set of photos are sent to the server and stored in the database with the set of job site data. A supervisor management application is installed on a set of supervisor devices to monitor the set of job site data, validate photos and activate employee devices.
