      How to check in and out of a shift

      Learn how to track your time properly in the app so you can get paid.

      Checking in and out of every shift on the Spotwork app is very important. It is the only way we can track how many hours you have worked. In order to be paid correctly you need to check in and out of EVERY shift. 

      Note: For their own internal use, businesses may also require you to check in and out on their systems. If you do so, you must additionally always check in and out on the Spotwork app. Checking in and out on the Spotwork app is the only way to ensure you get paid correctly. 

      Two types of check in and out functions

      There are two ways you may be asked to check in:

      1. With a code (from a company)
      2. Without a code

      How to check-in:

       

      1

      Both methods of checking in and out require you to:

      1. Open the app
      2. Go to 'My Jobs' located on the bottom menu
      3. Go to the 'Hired' tab at the top of the screen and select the shift 
      4. Select 'Check-in'

      If a check-in code is required, you will be prompted to enter the code. You will need to get this code from the company once you are on site. 

      The code is different for each day. You will need to get the new check-in code every shift. 

      If no check-in code is required, simply select check-in.
