Atteny

How do I clock in?

Tap the NFC tag at the door or use the button in the app — then start breaks and end your shift from the same screen.

Clocking in tells Atteny you've started work. There are two ways to do it from your phone — pick whichever is set up at your workplace.

Clocking in and out happens on the phone app only. You can't clock in from the web.

Two ways to clock in

  1. 1

    Tap the NFC tag at your location

    Hold your phone against the Atteny tag at the door. It opens the app and checks you in automatically — no need to unlock anything first.

    Or use the check-in card on Home

    Open the Home tab and tap the Tap to check in via NFC card, just below your hours for today.

    Allow location if asked

    If your workplace uses the optional location check, allow access when your phone asks. This just confirms you're on site — it's off unless your admin turns it on.

While you're on shift

Once you're clocked in, an Active Shift card appears on Home with a live timer counting your hours.

  • Tap Start Break when you step away, and End Break when you're back.
  • Tap End Shift to clock out at the end of your shift.

Your hours are saved to your timesheet automatically — the Timesheets tab totals them for today, this week or all time, and each entry shows whether it's still pending your manager's approval.
