Clocking In and Out Using NFC Tags

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.
