Checking in and out

What Check-in does

Check-in records when you start and end work each day. It is separate from the timers in Tasks, which track time on specific work. Check-in answers "when was I at work, and where?"

Check in

Open Check-in from the sidebar. The page has two tabs, My Check-ins and Team Presence. Your check-in controls are in the attendance panel. First choose where you are working today using the three location buttons:

• Office
• Home
• Remote

Then choose Check In. A live timer starts counting your elapsed time. When you finish for the day, choose Check Out. If you leave and return later in the same day, the button reads Check In Again, and each session is added to the day.

Tip: Pick the right location before you check in. It is what your team and HR see.

Your history

Under My Check-ins you will find Recent Attendance History for the past 30 days. Each day shows:

• First In and Last Out.
• Total Time, the sum of all your sessions.
• Status: In Progress while you are still checked in, Present for a full day, Half Day for a partial day, or Short when you logged less time.

If a day looks wrong, speak to your manager or HR, who can review it.

Who is in

Switch to Team Presence (shown as the Who is In list) to see colleagues. Three counters at the top show Checked In, Checked Out and Total Active Today. The table lists each Member, their Status (In Now or Checked Out), Mode (office, home or remote), First In, Last Out and Time Logged. This is handy for knowing who to message or call, especially with remote teammates.

Reminders

Your HR team can set a work schedule with working days and start and end times, and switch on check-in and check-out reminders. If they do, you will be prompted before the shift starts and after it ends if you have not checked in or out.

Remote and working from home

Remote and Home are normal choices, not exceptions. Select them honestly each day so planning is accurate. If you need time off rather than a remote day, use the Request Time Off option in the HR Suite instead (see PGB 301 for how managers review it).

Practice

1. Open Check-in and select your location.
2. Check in, wait a minute, and watch the timer.
3. Check out and find today in Recent Attendance History.
4. Open Team Presence and see who else is in.

Note: The app shows working time per session. It does not have a separate button for lunch breaks, so check out and back in if your workplace needs breaks recorded.
