There are 3 great reasons for your employees to use our mobile app.

Why Your Employees Should Use the Chronotek Mobile App

1 - You Will Know Where Your Employees Are

The app has GPS tracking, which is a huge help if your employees clock in by calling from their cell phones. You have no idea where they are! Our Smart Tracks™ technology reports if employees clock in away from the job site and can potentially track when your employees leave the job site while on the clock.

2 - Your Employees Can Track Their Hours and Schedules

Employees can keep up with their hours worked and their scheduled hours. They will 💖that! 

3 - You Can Send Messages to Your Employees

Send in-app messages or announcements to your employees, which they must read before clocking in or out. No more "I didn't get your voicemail or see your text." 

Ok, so how do you set up your existing call-in employees to use the app? It's very simple. 

How to Set Your Existing Employees to Use the Mobile App

  • Go to List Maintenance, Employees, and click on an employee. 

  • Select "Enable" next to Mobile Access. 

  • Set the access level to Employee (the other employee option is Employee View Only, which is good for employees who clock in with job site landlines but can use the app to see hours worked, view schedules, and use messaging. The other access levels are for supervisors.) 

  • Enter the employee's email address.

  • If you want to limit the jobs the employee sees, choose Visible Zones, Select Zones, and select the zones that house the jobs this employee does. 

  • Save.

  • The system will send the employee (and copy you) an email for the employee to create his/her password. Their email address will be their username.
