Answers to questions about attendance, GPS, monitoring, notifications and making good agreements with employees.

Does Lia check whether an employee is actually present at work?

No. An employee can register via smartphone or computer, and no location checks are currently carried out. This means that, technically, the employee can also clock in from home or another location.

The time clock therefore records working time, but on its own does not constitute proof that the employee was at a particular location.

Does Lia use GPS tracking?

No. There is no continuous GPS tracking, and the current time clock does not use geofencing when clocking in or out.

For employers, this means that good internal agreements remain important. Technology does not replace agreements on accurate time recording.

How do I know whether my employee has recorded the correct hours?

The employer can monitor the recorded hours, and records can be corrected. In addition, changes are recorded in the history. This makes it possible to check afterwards which changes were made.

However, Lia does not automatically check whether the employee was physically present at the time the record was made. We therefore recommend making clear internal agreements in advance about how the time clock should be used.

Is time recording intended to monitor employees?

The purpose of the Lia+ time clock is to record working time in a simple and transparent way.

When introducing it, clearly explain to your employees why time recording is being introduced, exactly what is recorded and who employees can contact with questions. Accurate time recording works best when employees understand what is expected of them and recording becomes part of their daily routine.

How can we ensure that employees do not forget to clock in or out?

A new habit takes time. A number of practical measures can help:

• clearly agree when employees should clock in and out;
• link clocking in and out to existing routines, such as starting up the computer, getting changed or having lunch;
• give a short demonstration at the start;
• appoint an internal point of contact;
• put reminders in logical places during the first few weeks;
• follow up on missing or incorrect records;
• repeat the agreements regularly.

Will I automatically receive a notification when an employee forgets to clock out?

Not at present. If, for example, an employee forgets to clock out in the evening, the employer will not currently receive an automatic notification. The most practical approach is for the employee to see the open record the following day, close it and correct the time.

Because the adjustment is recorded, it remains visible afterwards that the record was corrected.
