Time clock & check-in

Hours you can trust, without chasing anyone

Crews check in on their phone when they arrive at a task, and their hours count from that moment. Every check-in records where the phone was and how far that is from the project address.

The check-in map: pins for the people who checked in at a project, the circle of the allowed radius around the project address, and the list of projects and people with their visits

Checked against the job site

Each project has its own radius (200 m by default). Choose whether check-ins farther away are recorded with the distance or refused.

Form first, then the timer

If the project asks a check-in form, its required items must be answered before the timer starts.

Forgotten check-outs closed

Turn on auto-close and sessions left open are closed after your working hours, marked so you can review them.

No silent edits

Attendance times can't be edited in the hub. The employee submits a correction and an approver signs it, leaving a trail.

Check-in on the task, at the site

Turn on check-in for a project and every task in it shows a check-in card in the app. The app reads the location, compares it with the project address and starts the timer; checking out stops it. Every visit appears on the task and on the project's Work hours tab.

  • Allow or refuse check-ins away from the project address, and require a location
  • Limit check-in to the task's dates, or allow any day
  • Mock locations are flagged, not blocked
  • Check-ins with a location appear on the check-in map

A daily clock-in, if you want one

Some companies also track time present for the day. Add the Attendance tab to the app and people clock in and out against your registered locations, with rules you set in layers — company-wide, branch, department, shift or one individual — where the narrowest layer wins.

  • Require a photo and/or a location per situation — clocking in or out, inside a location, outside every location, working from home
  • Preview exactly what one employee will be asked for on a given day before you roll a change out
  • Recalculate past days after a rule change, with a dry run first
  • Clock-ins made with no signal are sent later, with the time the button was pressed

Timesheets your payroll team will accept

The weekly board shows everybody, Monday to Sunday, with in and out times in each cell. The monthly sheet is the payroll view: a column per day, and summary columns that count leave, holidays and absences. Both are built from daily clock-ins plus approved leave and holidays.

  • Export the month to Excel, with a Legend and a Review sheet
  • Absences that are neither recorded nor approved stand out before payroll closes
  • Approved leave and public holidays fill themselves in
  • Late and left-early days without an approved request are marked

Getting started

How teams set this up

  1. Create your projects with an address and turn on check-in.
  2. Add the check-in form your crews must fill in, if any.
  3. Crews check in and out on the task in the mobile app.
  4. Review hours on each project's Work hours tab — and on the timesheets if you use the daily clock-in.
Questions

Frequently asked

What if GPS is unreliable on site?

Make the radius big enough to cover the site plus a margin for GPS accuracy, which is often 20–100 m on a phone. Every check-in records its distance from the project address.

Can somebody check in for a colleague?

On a scheduled task, only the assigned person can check in. Every check-in is tied to the signed-in account and records the phone's location; for the daily clock-in you can also require a photo.

What happens when a person forgets to check out?

Turn on auto-close in Project settings and forgotten check-ins are closed after your working hours, marked so you can tell them apart.

Does check-in work with no signal?

Task check-in and check-out need a connection. Photos, videos and voice notes taken offline are sent once the signal is back.
