Grownu time clock terminal with RFID reader and EBS010 breathalyzer

Time Clock Terminal with Breathalyzer

Employees identify with an RFID card, fob, badge, or PIN, select clock-in or clock-out, and complete a breathalyzer test according to your company rules. If the test fails or exceeds the configured limit, Grownu can block the work session, record the event, capture a photo, and notify responsible managers.

Breathalyzer control for clock-in, clock-out, or site access

This solution is built for companies that want to connect employee time tracking with alcohol-test control. Grownu links employee identification, breathalyzer result, optional photo capture, attendance event, failed-test notification, and manager visibility in one system.

Employee identification by PIN or RFID before breathalyzer test

PIN or RFID Identification

Employees are identified using an RFID card, badge, fob, or PIN. Grownu recognizes the employee and applies the right time tracking and breathalyzer-test rules for that person, shift, team, or location.

Breathalyzer test flow and employee photo capture during the test

Breathalyzer Test and Photo Capture

At clock-in or clock-out, depending on your settings, the terminal can require a breathalyzer test. The screen guides the employee through the process step by step.

When enabled, the terminal captures a photo during the breath test and links it to the employee, device, timestamp, and result.

Successful breathalyzer test and approved work session

Passed Test and Work Session Start

After a successful test, the employee can start the work session. The attendance record becomes visible in the Grownu web system and mobile app.

The workflow can also support access-control scenarios where a successful test can trigger an action, such as allowing entry through a door or turnstile, depending on the hardware setup.

Failed breathalyzer test and restricted work session

Failed Test and Work Start Restriction

If the test fails or the result exceeds the configured threshold, Grownu can prevent the employee from starting work, record the event, and send an email or push notification to responsible managers.

Breathalyzer Logs and History

All tests can be stored in the system. Managers can review completed tests, failed attempts, employee history, photos, terminal, location, timestamp, and related attendance events.

Hardware cost from $1,700 USD

What happens when a breathalyzer test fails?

If an employee does not complete the test, fails the test, or exceeds the configured threshold, Grownu can automatically record the event, restrict the work session, and notify the responsible people.

Work session is restrictedThe employee is not allowed to start the work session, depending on your rules.
Event is recordedThe test result is saved in the employee’s breathalyzer-event history.
Notifications are sentManagers can receive email and / or push notifications.
Visible in web and mobileManagers can review the event, timestamp, result, terminal, and photo if enabled.

Time tracking with breathalyzer checks, photo proof, and manager alerts

Connect employee identification, alcohol-test result, work session status, photos, logs, and notifications inside one Grownu workflow.

Quick overview: A time clock terminal with breathalyzer helps companies verify employee attendance and alcohol-test status before work begins, at clock-out, or according to a custom site process.

  • Identification: RFID card, badge, fob, or PIN
  • Controls: breathalyzer result, photo capture, failed-test restriction
  • Visibility: web and mobile logs for managers
  • Notifications: email or push alerts after failed tests

A time clock terminal with breathalyzer is designed for companies that need more than a basic employee punch clock. It connects time and attendance with alcohol-test control, employee identification, photo capture, failed-test logging, manager notifications, and attendance records in one system.

The employee can identify using an RFID card, badge, fob, or PIN code. Depending on your configuration, Grownu can require a breathalyzer test before clock-in, at clock-out, or as part of a site-entry workflow. If the test is passed, the employee can continue into the configured work session. If the test fails, Grownu can block the work session and notify responsible managers.

This workflow is useful for warehouses, manufacturing, construction sites, transport operations, logistics teams, security companies, and other workplaces where attendance control and workplace safety processes need to be connected.

If you need a terminal without alcohol-test control, review the RFID time attendance terminal. For broader terminal options, see time attendance terminals. For mobile or tablet workflows, see time attendance terminal with mobile app.

Grownu can also connect terminal records with employee time tracking, employee scheduling software, and payroll-ready reports. When work happens outside a scheduled shift, Grownu can separate exception time for manager review before it becomes payable.
