Check-in and Check-out
Workers use check-in and check-out to mark the start and end of their work period or a specific job. The system saves their GPS location at each point.
How it works
Check-in
When a worker starts their day or arrives at a job site, they tap Check-in in the mobile app. The system records:
- Date and time
- GPS coordinates
- Linked job (if checking in to a specific task)
Check-out
When they finish, they tap Check-out. The system records the end time and location.
The difference between check-in and check-out gives you actual work duration for that job or shift.
Check-in per job vs. per shift
| Type | When to use |
|---|---|
| Shift check-in | Worker starts their workday — one check-in for the whole day |
| Job check-in | Worker arrives at a specific client site for a specific task |
You can use both. Shift check-in tracks overall work time. Job check-in tracks time spent at each client.
What managers see
- Who is currently checked in and where
- How long each job took on site
- Average time per job type — useful for planning and pricing
- Late check-ins or missing check-outs
Why this matters
- Accurate billing — prove time spent on client sites
- Fair payroll — workers get credit for time in the field
- Better planning — know realistic job durations for scheduling
- Accountability — confirm workers were on site when they said they were
tip
Make check-in a habit for your team from day one. It takes two seconds and gives you valuable data for analytics and billing.
