Introducing Time & Attendance
Sign In App plays an important role in many organisations, elevating experiences for visitors while ensuring the safety of everyone on site. When we say everyone, we mean everyone. That's why we continue to build comprehensive and integrated employee sign in features as part of our core visitor management solution.
We believe the workplace works better when everyone is signed in, for safety, for compliance and for the optimal workplace experience, whether you're remote or in the office.
For organisations that are looking to record hours worked, Sign In App provides an easy way to capture hours signed in and translate this into a simple timesheet report. For our customers looking for more flexibility and functionality to help simplify employee time tracking, we're introducing Time & Attendance.
Time & Attendance is a powerful paid add-on that transforms Sign In App into a robust timekeeping tool, bringing together scheduled working hours, absence reports and the ability to accurately track time spent working - all without sacrificing safety and compliance.
If you are an account administrator, you can start a free 15 day trial of Time & Attendance which includes the following features:
Activity Status - track and categorise how time is spent while signed in
Working Hours - create and assign shift patterns
Leave Management - request, approve and record absences
Additional enhancements - new group management and reporting tools
