Check in from the mobile app
Check in and out
- Open the HCM Cafe mobile app and allow location access.
- Tap check-in when you arrive and check-out when you leave.
- If you're outside the allowed area and your organization allows it, give a reason. The punch is sent for approval and recorded once approved.
Punches made without a connection are sent when you're back online, with the time you made them, if your organization allows offline check-in.
See your check-ins
On the web, go to My Mobile Check-ins and choose dates. Each punch shows the type (Check-in or Check-out), time, location and site.
