Put a phone-tappable tag or a printed code by the gate or door at your property.

Clock in. Clock out.

Your employee records arrival and departure on their phone, with an at-property check.

The register writes itself

Hours, overtime, public holidays and leave add up as you go, ready when needed.

Clarity for everyone at home.

A useful attendance record should work for the household and for the person employed.

For the household

Keep the important details organised, without extra admin.

  • ✓Every shift timed and placed in an attendance register.
  • ✓Annual, sick and family responsibility leave, on the BCEA's terms.
  • ✓Pay terms, rate, deductions and UIF in one place.
  • ✓Contracts, IDs and work permits kept together.
  • ✓Payslips, without a spreadsheet.
  • ✓More than one property, and more than one approver.

For the person employed

Their own record, there when they need it.

  • ✓A personal record of every shift worked, which stays theirs.
  • ✓A leave balance they can check without having to ask.
  • ✓Their documents in one place, not in a folder at somebody else's house.
  • ✓One profile, even when two households employ them.

“A register is only worth keeping if both sides can rely on it, so both sides can see it.”

The details, all in one place.

Attendance, leave, pay terms and the documents an employer has to hold — together, whether it is month end or a question asked three years later. An employer can work on their phone or in a browser; the person employed stays on the phone, where the register is.

✓ Hours, overtime and public holidays
✓ Leave balances and pay terms
✓ Payslips and essential documents
The attendance register on a laptop: a month for one person, with the hours recorded, shifts completed, overtime and wages totalled above a dated table of every arrival and departure, each row marked complete or needing a look.
The same household on a phone: who is on site now and how long they have been there, the week's hours and wages, and an overtime request waiting to be decided.
