The best attendance app for drivers, house help and domestic staff

A practical guide for households and small employers

If you employ a driver, house help, cook, guard or any domestic staff, keeping track of who came in, when they left, and what they should be paid usually means a diary or a mental note — and plenty of disputes at month-end. A simple attendance app for domestic staff fixes that: your helper checks in from their own phone, and you get an accurate record and an easy payslip.

Why a GPS attendance app beats a register

A paper register relies on trust and memory, and it can't tell you whether someone was actually at your home or shop when they marked themselves present. A GPS-based app records the real time of each check-in and check-out, and confirms the person was at the right place. With Rosterbook:

• Your staff tap once to check in when they arrive and once to check out when they leave.
• The app confirms they're at your assigned location using GPS — so attendance is honest.
• Location is read only at the moment of a punch, never in the background, so it respects your helper's privacy.
• Overtime, late arrivals and half-days are worked out for you.

Setting it up takes minutes

You don't need any technical know-how:

• Add your location — drop a pin on your home or workplace and set a small radius.
• Add your staff — enter each person once, and send their invite over WhatsApp in a single tap. The link opens the app and fills in their code.
• They check in — from their own phone, in Hindi or English.

Pay them correctly, every month

Rosterbook isn't just attendance — it turns those check-ins into pay. Whether you pay a fixed monthly salary, a daily wage, or by the hour, the app tracks the days worked, handles leave and advances, and produces a clear monthly payslip you can share. No more arguments about how many days were worked or how much is due.

Is it free?

Yes — Rosterbook is free for up to 3 staff, which covers most households. If you employ a larger team, paid plans add more staff and features, and start with a free trial.
