FAQs
Keeping your operations flexible is important. But giving your staff the option of remote or hybrid working patterns can make managing your teams more difficult.
Our time-tracking app—Blip—lets you maintain flexibility with none of the stress. You can opt to create virtual boundaries called geofences around your worksites no matter where they are. Your employees will be auto-alerted to clock in and out whenever they enter or leave the geofenced location. It’s an easy and secure way to help your employees take control of their hours and keep their timesheets accurate.
The Blip time-tracking app is completely free for all BrightHR users.
If you’ve already registered as a BrightHR user, all you need to do is download the Blip app and log in using your BrightHR email address and password. You can set up and onboard your entire team in just a few minutes and then you’re all set!
It's simple and easy! First, just head to the clock in section on the left. From here, you will see a list of users under the 'Who's in' tab divided in to 3 sections, 'Clocked in', 'On break' and 'Clocked out'
You will see underneath the employees names under clocked in the option to clock them in which will then ask you which location you want to clock them in to. To clock a user out, you would simply click 'Clock out' underneath their name.
Please note, you cannot start or end a break and there will be no option to do this.
Yes, you can!
Simply head to the clock ins section and in to the history tab.
Here you will be able to view your employees clock ins and breaks including details of the location they clocked in from, any notes included and any adjustment requests.
You can also make use of our handy filters which allow you to filter by specific employees / teams, clock in locations as well as completed clock ins and/or including notes.
