The Timerack mobile app simplifies the employee experience and makes it easy for staff on the go to track their time and attendance. With our IntelliPunch feature, employees can punch in and out using predictive flows to ensure proper attendance. Our app eliminates buddy punching by requiring employees to log in with their password-protected accounts and register their facial impression at the time of punch. Additionally, customized geo-fences can be set up to validate employee punch locations and create alerts if they are outside the validated area. The app also supports lunch lockout rules and California meal rules, making it a comprehensive solution for managing employee time and attendance. Note: A Timerack subscription is required before employees are able to use this app. For GPS functionality, a cellular model is required for the app to run on iPads.
