## Real-time attendance tracking for your whole team

TramitApp also works as attendance management software: you see who has clocked in, who is absent and what's happening at each site, without asking anyone.

1

### Each employee's status at any moment

-   See who has clocked in, who is **absent** and who hasn't clocked in yet
-   Bring time management together in **a single rota**

2

### Working time records under control

-   Organise the information by **team, project or department**
-   Every edited clock-in is flagged as **modified**

3

### Multi-company clocking in

-   See each site in **separate rotas** or combined

4

### Delegate time management

-   Share the management among **team managers**
-   Share the holiday planner with the team **in real time**

*Today's attendance dashboard in TramitApp: how many are working and how many are absent, who hasn't clocked in yet and which clock-in has been modified, with the view by site*

TramitApp shows a **single rota** of who is working from home, off sick or on leave, visible to managers and team leaders.

-   **Segmented** by site, team or project
-   Updated **in real time** with every clock-in

WhatsApp

## Clock in by WhatsApp, with a single message

Your team sends ‘Clock in’ —or says it in a voice note— to TramitApp's number and the clock-in is recorded with the exact time. Built for people who move from site to site, are on the road or go from one home visit to the next, and for anyone without a computer or company email.

-   **No apps, no training.** If they can send a message or a voice note, they can clock in. Nothing to install and no accounts to create.
-   **Legally valid in Spain.** Server timestamp, not the employee's phone, and working hours kept for 4 years, as Spanish law requires, ready to export for the Spanish labour inspectorate.
-   **On the same dashboard.** WhatsApp clock-ins arrive alongside those from the app, the web and the QR code, with the location if the company switches it on.

Also available on Telegram.

## Clocking in for remote and hybrid working

### How does TramitApp handle remote working?

-   Clock-in reports let you **filter by project** the time spent working remotely
-   Managers can **approve clock-ins with issues**

## Clocking in system FAQs

### What are the benefits of a time and attendance system for managing staff?

You see in real time who's in and who's out, with the time and location of their last clock-in. Any edited clock-in is flagged as modified, with an **auditable reason**. You can download the full rota, the report for workers' legal representatives and the PDF certificate for the clocking in system. The analytics dashboard brings together indicators and rankings for compliance, issues and overtime. If you run a small business, take a look at [TramitApp Nano's clocking in app for small businesses](https://www.tramitapp.com/small-business-clocking-in-app/).

### How do staff clock in and clock out with TramitApp?

Each employee clocks in through the channel that suits them best: [mobile app](https://www.tramitapp.com/mobile-time-tracking/), [web](https://www.tramitapp.com/online-time-tracking/) or [kiosk](https://www.tramitapp.com/clocking-in-machines/) with a QR code or facial recognition. HR sees it in real time on a single dashboard, with the day's hours, accumulated overtime and issues waiting for approval. Nothing to install on workstations.

### Where can employees clock in from?

From the mobile app with GPS and location, from the web with an optional IP check, or from a kiosk or tablet, also with [QR code clocking in](https://www.tramitapp.com/qr-clock-in/). If you need to control the exact location, see [GPS clocking in](https://www.tramitapp.com/time-attendance-geolocation/). You can also [clock in on WhatsApp](https://www.tramitapp.com/whatsapp-clocking-in/), or use Telegram. Each company switches channels on or off by company, site or employee.

### What happens with forgotten or incorrect clock-ins?

Clock-ins already recorded can be corrected or cancelled and are flagged as modified, with an **auditable reason**. If a clock-in is missing, a manager can add it afterwards. The system sends reminders to anyone who hasn't clocked in and has an **automatic close** for shifts left open from the day before.

### How are overtime and lateness tracked with TramitApp?

Overtime is handled through a request started by the employee or the manager, with escalating approval. It can be paid or taken as time off through an hours bank. The alerts dashboard has its own overtime category, and the analytics show rankings of employees with the most overtime and the most late arrivals.

### Does TramitApp's clocking in system integrate with payroll and other business software?

Yes. Hours worked, overtime and absences are ready to export to Excel or CSV for your **payroll** provider, with no re-keying. To connect with other systems, there's a **REST API** and import via SFTP. If you also manage absences, the [holiday and absence management](https://www.tramitapp.com/time-off-management-software/) module uses the same working time records.

### Does TramitApp comply with Spain's working time recording law?

Yes. TramitApp keeps the daily record of working time required by Spanish Royal Decree-Law 8/2019 and lets you export the full rota, the report for workers' legal representatives and the PDF certificate of legal validity for the clocking in system, to hand to workers' representatives or to the Spanish labour inspectorate. Data is managed under ISO 27001 certification. If you have questions about your specific obligations, check with your employment adviser.

### How much does TramitApp's clocking in system cost?

TramitApp costs **from €3 per employee per month**, only for the modules you use and with **no lock-in**. Time and attendance is part of Time management, and you can add other modules if you need them. See our [pricing](https://www.tramitapp.com/pricing-for-our-hr-software/) or, if you run a small business, [TramitApp Nano](https://www.tramitapp.com/small-business-clocking-in-app/), also from €3 per employee per month with annual billing.
