Common questions
Answers to what people ask most before getting started.
Do employees need to create an account?
Yes, but it's fast. They download the app, tap Join with code, enter the invitation code you give them, verify their email, and they're in. Takes about 2 minutes.
What if an employee doesn't have a smartphone?
Currently ChatIN Clock requires the mobile app to clock in. The admin portal works from any browser, so managers can also log entries manually on behalf of an employee if needed.
Can I have multiple locations or job sites?
Yes. You can assign employees to different teams and see GPS location on each clock-in. Multiple admins can manage different groups within the same company.
What happens if an employee forgets to clock out?
The admin can manually edit the entry and set the correct clock-out time. The employee's history is updated immediately.
Is there a limit on how many employees I can add?
Each plan has a different employee limit. The Starter plan covers small teams, and the Growth plan is for larger operations. See the pricing page for exact numbers.
Can I export my employees' data?
Yes. You can export timesheets, attendance reports, and payroll summaries in CSV or PDF format from the admin dashboard.
Is my data backed up?
Yes. All time entries, chat history, and employee records are stored with automated backups. Nothing gets lost.
