Check in and check out

Start and wrap up your work day in TracefyHR with the My Attendance card — server-stamped times, work plan, end-of-day notes, no manual fudging.

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 the portal at your workspace login URL, then look at the My Attendance card on your dashboard. Click the Start my day CTA.

  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 Check out on the My Attendance card.

  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 can't edit your check-in or check-out times directly. If a time is wrong, you send a correction request and a Manager approves or rejects it, so every change is on record.

Common questions

Can I check in from my phone? Yes. The portal works in any browser, and the free TracefyHR app for iPhone and Android has one-tap check-in that also works offline: the punch is saved on your phone and synced when you reconnect.

What if I forget to check out? You get a reminder. If the day ends without a check-out, it is closed as a missed check-out. Send a correction request with the right time and a Manager will approve it.

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? Your location is recorded only at the moment you check in or out, so your manager can see where each punch happened. Nothing is tracked in the background between punches, and there are no screenshots or activity tracking.
