An Alternative to Requiring Employee Phones for Clock-In

A personal phone app is convenient for some workforces. But if employees already report to a fixed workplace, you may prefer a company-controlled punch point that does not depend on personal devices.

Typical alternative

Each employee installs or opens a mobile time-clock app, signs in on a personal device and clocks from the phone.

Work-A-Beez approach

Employees can clock from a shared authorized workplace computer using their employee ID and PIN, with no personal phone required for the standard workplace clock flow.
