Mobile app

The AccessTime app for iOS and Android lets everyone clock in from their phone, see their hours and request absences without opening the web dashboard. It connects to the same AccessTime account; there's no separate user to create.

Installing and signing in

1. Download AccessTime from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
2. Open it and enter your AccessTime email and password — the same ones you'd use to sign in to the web dashboard.
3. If your company set up your account, you received by email an activation link to choose your password (passwords are never sent by email). If it has expired, ask your company to send it again or use "I forgot my password" on the web.

The app session is independent of the browser session: signing out in one place doesn't sign you out of the other.

Clocking in and out

• The main button clocks in or out automatically based on your last entry: if your last entry was a clock-in, the next tap records a clock-out, and vice versa.
• If your company has it enabled, the app attaches your location to the entry (the first time, it asks for permission). If it is optional, you can decline and the entry is still recorded, without coordinates; if it is required, you cannot clock in at that moment without a location. It is not requested when working remotely.
• Every entry is stamped with the app method, so in the reports it's distinguishable from those made on the web or at the QR kiosk.
• If the app asks you to confirm with the phone's fingerprint, face or PIN, that check is done by your phone: AccessTime only stores how it was done and whether it succeeded, never your fingerprint, your face or your code. You can see it next to each entry in «My record» on the web dashboard (and in the app once it has that screen).

Checking your hours

• Today: the list of your entries for the day, in your company's time zone.
• Week: your entries for the current week.
• Monthly summary: the total worked for the month, calculated from the nightly consolidation — the same data your manager sees in the working-time record report.

Absences from your phone

• Check your holiday balance and the absence types available to you.
• Request an absence (holiday, leave, etc.) by entering the dates; the request enters the same approvals flow as if you'd asked for it on the web, and you'll get the answer once your manager resolves it.

If you forget to clock in

If one day you forget to clock in or out, don't fix it "by hand" in the app: open a clock-in issue (on the web, under Clock-in issues) so your manager can approve it and the change is audited, as the working-time record requires. See Corrections and requests.

Would you rather use a shared tablet?

For teams that clock in at a common point (warehouse, shop, reception), alongside the personal app there's the QR kiosk: a shared tablet where each person clocks in by scanning their code.
