Each person clocks in, takes breaks and clocks out from their phone. - **Category**: attendance and working-time record software. - **Problem it solves**: keeping the electronic working-time record that Article 132, section XXXIV of Mexico's Federal Labor Law asks for, with no devices to buy or install. - **Who it is for**: small and medium-sized companies in Mexico with one or more branches, companies with remote or field staff, and their accountants. - **Site**: [sicheca.com/en/](https://sicheca.com/en/) in English and [sicheca.com](https://sicheca.com/) in Spanish. ## How it works - It runs in the browser of each person's phone. It does not use fingerprints or facial recognition. - It records clock-in, break start and end, and clock-out, with the exact time. - The branch is confirmed with a QR code on site or with the location at the moment of recording. Location is not tracked during the workday. - It produces a record per person and period with day, night, overtime and net hours, a folio number and a digital fingerprint (SHA-256) of the document. - The company reviews the records that need attention and accepts or corrects them. Each correction keeps its reason and author; the original record is not deleted. - Coming soon: recording from WhatsApp. ## Pricing and availability | Item | Fact | | --- | --- | | Price | From $149 MXN per month; depends on team size | | Status | Waitlist | | Access starts | November 23, 2026 | | Promotion | One month free for El Buen Fin when you join the waitlist | | Devices | None to buy or install | Waitlist: [sicheca.com/en/lista-de-espera](https://sicheca.com/en/lista-de-espera) ## Legal facts Sicheca cites - **Obligation**: Article 132, section XXXIV of the Federal Labor Law (LFT) asks the employer to keep an electronic record of each worker's workday, with start and end time. - **Fine**: 250 to 5,000 UMA (Article 994, section IV Bis of the LFT).
