Check hours worked: today on Home, the month in Reports

Quick answer

#What it's good for

• You see straight away whether your arrival was recorded.
• You know how long you have worked today and this month – without asking your manager or payroll.
• You find a missing scan before payday, not after, and you see your overtime and running balance.
• A note tells your manager why you left early or worked somewhere else, right next to your attendance.

#How to check your hours

1. Look at your status and the timeline.

   Top right on Home says Logged In (you are at work) or Logged Out. The timeline shows your scans during the day; below it you see the time from – to and Break Time.

   

2. Watch Total Worked Time.

   The Total Worked Time counter runs while you are clocked in. When you clock out it stops and shows what you worked that day. If you work on projects, you also see the time per project.

   

3. Go back to an earlier day.

   The arrow left of the date moves one day back; the calendar icon lets you pick any day. You scan for today only, so past days have no Scan QR button. If you missed a scan on an earlier day, ask your manager to add it in the web app.

   

4. Check the cards below the counter.

   Further down there may be a My Shifts card with your next shift, a New tasks card, and the Note section for notes about the day. Without internet you also find the Scan Queue here.

   

5. For the whole month, tap Reports.

   Tap Reports in the bottom bar. The current month opens; pick another one with the arrow or the calendar icon next to the month name. On the Attendance tab, the top shows your total hours for the month and Clean time – the time after breaks and your employer’s rules, such as rounding. Below that are the figures your employer shows: Overtime for this month, Cumulative Overtime for the whole period, and possibly Bonuses, Absences or Monthly Salary.

   

6. Look at the colours in the calendar.

   A day’s colour tells you what happened that day. The legend under the calendar lists only the colours that occur that month: Worked, Absence, Holiday and Check. A Check day means you scanned but no time was recorded – usually a missing departure.

7. Open the All days list.

   Tap All days. A table opens with each day and its hours; some rows also show the branch.

   

8. Tap a day to see the detail.

   The day detail shows a timeline with your arrival, work, breaks and departure, and an attendance summary. If you had an absence or worked on a project that day, you find it here too – for example a Home Office day.

   

#When your employer hides worked time

Your employer can choose not to show worked time in the app. Home is then simpler: you see your status, Scan QR, your shifts and the note. There is no timeline, no counter, no arrows by the date and no Reports tab. Your attendance is recorded the same way.

#Add a note to your timesheet

A note tells your manager something about the day – for example “Floor polisher at Sandyford is leaking, left it in the store room”. It belongs to the day you have open on Home, and your manager sees it next to your attendance in the web app.

1. Tap Create. The Note section is always on Home. For a note about yesterday, first go back to yesterday with the arrow by the date – if your employer allows that.
2. Type your text and tap Save. In the Enter Note... field, write what your manager needs to know, then tap Save. The app won’t save an empty new note – it tells you Note is empty!
3. Tap a note to change it. The Edit window opens; fix the text and tap Save. There is no delete button – to delete a note, clear all the text and save.

#Special cases and tips

The time differs from your timesheet or your own count

The counter on Home shows the time from your scans. In the timesheet your employer may round it or take off an automatic break according to the work schedule. That’s why Reports shows both the total and the Clean time. If something looks wrong, show the day to your manager.

A day with an absence

Absences such as Home Office or leave appear in the day detail with their hours.

Overtime is negative

For example -02:30 means that so far this month you have worked less than planned. How your employer counts overtime is explained in Overtime.

You can’t see your salary

Showing the salary is a separate setting for your employer, and it is off unless they turn it on.

No internet

Reports need an internet connection. On Home, the time may say Offline estimation: some scans are still waiting to be sent. Open the app with internet and the time is corrected.

Your employer changed a setting but the app looks the same

Changes your employer makes reach the app after a restart. Close it completely and open it again.
