Check in and check out

How to start and end your work day in TracefyHR — and what your manager sees.

TracefyHR uses a simple two-tap flow for daily attendance: Check In at the start of your day, Check Out at the end. Times are stamped by the server — you can't fudge them, and your manager doesn't have to.

Check in

  1. Open your dashboard at app.tracefyhr.com/employee/login. Click the Not checked in pill at the top, or the Start My Day button on your dashboard.

  2. Fill in three short fields:

  3. The check-in form with Work Plan, Top Priorities, and Blockers fields
    • Work Plan — what you're focusing on today
    • Top Priorities — 1–3 bullets
    • Blockers — anything in your way (leave blank if nothing)

  5. These don't need to be essays — a sentence each is fine.

  6. Click Start My Day. The pill turns green and the time is recorded automatically.

Forgot to check in? No worries — check in whenever you remember. The time is recorded as the moment you submit. Your manager will see the actual time.

Check out

  1. Click the green Checked in pill or the Checkout & Wrap Up button on your dashboard.

  2. Fill in End of Day Notes — what you got done, what's still open. Again, short is fine.

  3. Click Checkout & Wrap Up. The pill turns grey, and your day is wrapped.

What your manager sees

Your check-ins and check-outs flow into the Daily Reports page. Your HR / Manager can:

  • See who's currently checked in
  • Read your work plan and end-of-day notes
  • Filter by date, employee, or status
  • Spot patterns over time

They cannot edit your check-in/check-out times — those are server-stamped.

Common questions

Can I check in from my phone? Yes. The portal works on any browser.

What if I forget to check out? Your day stays "Checked in" until you do. Just check out the next time you log in. If you genuinely forgot, leave a note in your check-out summary.

Can I edit my work plan after checking in? Not from the same screen, but you can update your End of Day Notes at check-out time to reflect what actually happened.

Does TracefyHR track my location or screen? No. There's no GPS, screenshot, or activity tracking. Check-in/out is purely time-stamps and the notes you write yourself.
