Guide to Using NFC for Clocking In and Out
In ClickTime Australia, the Required Fields settings let you control exactly what information employees must provide when clocking in or out. From mandatory site or job selection, task and activity capture, and break time settings, to requiring photo verification or shift notes, these options help ensure accurate time attendance records, compliance with company policy, and clear communication between staff and management.
To allow your employees to clock in and out using the site-assigned NFC Tags, these NFC tag will need to be placed at your sites. When your staff arrive at the job sites, they will need to scan the NFC tag. Depending on your settings, the app might ask them to enter a few additional details to complete the process of being clocked in or out.
For example, if you have set the time attendance settings to request the employee to take a selfie, provide a digital signature, or answer custom questions, then after scanning the NFC tag, your staff members will need to provide all the requested information.
