So the first interaction you will receive from TimeKeeper is either an email or text informing you that you have been signed up to the platform by your employer. Within this correspondence, you will receive two things:
A 4 digit pin (more explained below)
A link to set up your own password
So what do I do?
When you receive this email or text, just click on the link attached and enter in your desired password. This will give you access to your personal employee account and only you know the password. This invite link will expire within 7 days so if you don't set the password within that timeframe, you may need to get your TimeKeeper administrator to resend the invite.
What is the 4 digit pin?
TimeKeeper works on a variety of formats, one of which is on a tablet. The tablet shows a keypad - which allows an employee to walk up, enter their 4 digit pin and proceed to clock in.
So why do I need the password and the pin?
Well it depends on your employer. If they are planning to allow employees to use their mobile to clock in/out, then you require a password to log in to your own account on the TimeKeeper app. If you are using the tablet version, you will require the 4 digit pin to clock in to the tablet on-premise e.g. in the office or out on site.
Logging into the app
To log in to the app, download the app to your device (see useful links below) and log in with your email/phone number and password you set up. The email/phone number to log in with is included in the original email/text we sent you. The password is the one you configured.
Logging into the web portal
Same as the app - use your email/phone number and password. See web portal link below.
Depending on the settings your employer has allowed, you may be able to clock in on mobile, tablet or web. See below for the videos on how to clock into each.
Clock in on Mobile
Clock in on Kiosk Mode
Clock in on Web
If your employer has given you permission, you may submit timesheets manually and edit your existing time entries via the app.
Similar to clocking in, you can request time off on mobile, web and tablet depending on your employer settings. See below for the videos on how to request time off on each.

Requesting Time Off on Web
When you make a leave request, you'll receive an email confirming it's been received, and one to let you know if it's approved or rejected by your manager. If you ever want to the check the status of your leave request, you can do so in the app by going to 'Services' > 'My Leave'.
You have two options to check your timesheet, you can do this in the app or on the web portal. See links below for how to access each.
Accessing your shifts on the app
Accessing your timesheet on the app
Accessing your timesheet on the web
Viewing a job's details in the app
In the event that you forget your password, don't worry. It's a simple exercise to reset it, simply follow the steps below:
Log out of TimeKeeper web portal if logged in
Click 'Forgot your password?' on the log in screen or go to this link https://app.timekeeper.co.uk/password/forgot
Enter in your email/phone number used to log into TimeKeeper
When you receive that email or text, click the link in the email/text - that will bring you to a web page to set up your new password
Enter in your new password and click "Reset password"
