## How Employees Use Facial Recognition

When Facial Recognition is enabled, employees must upload a profile photo. This photo is used to verify their identity during check-in and check-out.

Employees are required to add a photo to their profile in Team Xpress. This image is used as the reference for identity verification.

When an employee is scheduled at a site that requires facial recognition:

-   The Team Xpress app will prompt them to take a photo when checking in or out
-   The system will compare the photo to their profile image
-   If the photos match, the check-in or check-out is approved
-   If the photos do not match, the request is denied
