Atteny

How do I clock in?

Open the Time clock, confirm at your location or tap the tag, then take breaks and end your shift from the same screen.

Updated October 9, 2026

Clocking in tells Atteny you have started work. You do it in the phone app, at one of the locations you are assigned to. There is no clock-in on the web.

Clock in#

  1. 1

    Open the Time clock

    Tap the round blue button in the middle of the bar at the bottom. The Tap to clock in via NFC card on Home opens the same screen.

    Choose how your workplace does it

    • With a tag at the door: hold your phone against the Atteny tag. The app shows the location it read.
    • Without a tag: under Locations, tap the location you are at.

    Tap Confirm Clock In

    Nothing is recorded until you tap Confirm Clock In. If your workplace checks that you are on site, allow location access when your phone asks.

    The app confirms it, and your time starts running.

The app says you are too far away? Try again: on the second failed try it opens Request Manager Approval. The tag will not read? Cancel the scan if one is running. If the app then asks Couldn't scan the tag?, tap Request approval: the same sheet opens. If it does not ask, tap your location under Locations and confirm, and where the app refuses that for the missing tap, do it again until the sheet opens. On the sheet, tap Submit for Verification. You are clocked in and your time runs, and a manager reviews that clock-in afterwards.

You only see the locations you are assigned to. If the list is empty, ask your admin to add a work location to your profile.

No signal? Clock in anyway. The app keeps it on your phone and sends it when you are back online.

During your shift#

Home shows Active Shift with a running timer, and the Time clock shows the same timer under Work time.

Home during a shift: the Active Shift card with the time since clocking in, a running timer, and the Start Break and End Shift buttons
  • Start Break when you step away, End Break when you are back. See Breaks.
  • End Shift to clock out.
  • Tapping the tag again while you work asks What would you like to do? and offers Start Break and Clock Out. On a break it offers End Break and Clock Out.

Where a tag is used, ending a break or a shift asks for a tap as well. If the tag will not read, cancel the scan: you can still end it, and a manager then reviews that shift. On a phone without NFC, or with NFC switched off, no scan starts: switch NFC on, or ask a manager or an admin to clock you out.

Check your hours#

Open Timesheets. Choose Today, Last 7 days or Last 60 days; the tiles show Total, Regular and Overtime hours.

The Timesheets tab on Last 7 days: tiles for total, regular and overtime hours, a Download my record row, and two approved shifts with their times and break

Each shift carries a status:

  • Active: still running.
  • Approved: the hours count. A shift you ended normally is approved at once.
  • Under review: something was unusual, for example no tag tap, and a manager has to look at it. These hours do not count yet.
  • Pending: a manager entered or changed this shift by hand, and it waits for an approval.
  • Rejected: a manager decided the shift does not count.
