Job Posting and Application

Before hiring workers, companies stake an amount in Ether to demonstrate their commitment. Hired workers use a QR code-based check-in and check-out system to mark attendance, providing accurate tracking of work hours. -
Automated Payment Processing
Upon check-out, payments are automatically transferred from the company's wallet to the worker's wallet based on the number of hours worked. -
Reward System with NFTs
Workers are incentivized through a reward system where they earn non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based on the number of hours worked which can redeemed to leverage social security.
