Buy and Register a Clockgogo WORK SPOT

Delay of delivery may be due to many factors which are out of Clockgogo’s control, e.g. fault of courier, inefficiency of custom etc. It will always be better to purchase Clockgogo WORK SPOT (CWS) before you start a Clockgogo Cloud subscription. Since Clockgogo Cloud can function without Clockgogo WORK SPOT, except fake GPS checking function, you can still enjoy Clockgogo Cloud before arrival of Clockgogo WORK SPOT.

You can make your Clockgogo WORK SPOT (CWS) work by the following steps:

a. Bring the Clockgogo WORK SPOT (CWS) to where it shall be placed
b. Open Clockgogo Boss App and choose “WORK SPOT REGISTRATION”
c. There shall be a list of WORK SPOT purchased by your company (the “employer”)
d. Choose the Clockgogo WORK SPOT (CWS) you would like to register
e. Input a WORK SPOT name for the WORK SPOT detected
f. Press ‘GPS’ button to register the WORK SPOT detected under the current GPS
g. You can tell your employee to use Clockgogo Staff App to punch card now within 10m from Clockgogo WORK SPOT (CWS) registered

Subscribe Clockgogo Cloud

Sign in, go to the order page and choose ‘add headcount’.

There are two ways for an employer to add headcount:

To add headcount with the existing subscription contract end date remains intact.

To add headcount with the existing subscription contract replaced by a new subscription contract which will last for one more year from the date of adding headcount.

Employer Setting

You can go to the ‘shift setting’ screen. Here Clockgogo allows administrator to define unlimited number of shifts, each of which represents a set of rule for working hour, late, early leave and OT calculation.

The same employee can be assigned different shifts on different dates. (Webinar: Shift Setting)

Category: Employer Setting

Sure. As long as you input correct shift code, leave code or public holiday back into roster, correct attendance result can still be calculated.

Category: Employer Setting

Sure. JSONs are available for third party system developer, authorized by the employer, to retrieve real-time data from Clockgogo into their corresponding system. (Webinar: Authorize a Third Party Developer)

Category: Employer Setting

Shift Setting

Clockgogo can handle cross-day shift. For example, if your staff need to start working at 22:00 on day 1 and leave at 04:00 on day 2.

You can set your shift as below:

Work-in: 22:00

Work-out: 28:00

When you input ’28:00’, Clockgogo will recognize is means 04:00 on day 2.

Category: Shift Setting

There are TWO ways to check the shift.

a. You can click [Reports] → [Employee Timesheet Report] to check in batch, then sort by “Shift Name” or “Shift Code”. In this way, you can review the exact shifts assigned to employee. Employees with empty value means no shift assigned yet. OR

b. You can check the weekly shift arrangement of employees in [Timesheet] one by one.

Clockgogo Work Spot (CWS)

Unlike traditional fingerprint or face recognition devices, you need not to mount the CWS on a wall. We suggest placing it within employees’ field of vision, so that it can be easily detected when employees punch card in the mobile app.

Don’t worry. You need not to mount the CWS on a wall. When you register the CWS in mobile app Clockgogo Boss, the system has already recorded the GPS information of where is registered. Then the administrator can enable GPS violation alert in【Alert Setting】. When the GPS in punch card does not match the registered GPS in CWS, an alert email will be sent to the employer. Then employer can check the SSID, photo background during punch card, GPS etc. to verify the case.

Besides, individual CWS can be set if GPS violation alert is needed in 【Work Spot】 page. If the location of CWS changes frequently, it is recommended to disable the alert. This function is very useful for customers who have CWS installed in vehicle or temporary work places.

You can define if CWS is compulsory upon punch card in【Employee】page. Please open the employee profile and choose your option on [CWS Certification Required] . If it is set as [Yes], that employee needs to connect to a CWS before going to the face recognition page when he / she punches card in the mobile app.

For Employer

Clockgogo mobile app can detect if a Clockgogo WORK SPOT (CWS) is within 10m around your staff punching card. Clockgogo mobile app will mark the Clockgogo WORK SPOT (CWS) ID and name with the time card record for administration user to check.

Category: For Employer

Whenever employee changes his/her ‘face’ in the registration file, the corresponding photo registered (not biometric parameters) will be stored into the employee profile’s face history for employer to trace.

Also, Clockgogo will pro-actively send employer an alert through email when there is any employee changing ‘face’. So anyone try to use his/her buddy’ face to punch card will be known by the employer.

Category: For Employer

Sure. Your temporary employees can start punching card once they add your company as ‘employer’ through the [add employer] function in the employee mobile app.

After you input the correct temporary employee back into the employee profile, their time card data will be synchronized into your time sheet accordingly.

Category: For Employer

You can record such change as below:

a. Go to [employee information]

b. Select the employee being concerned and input the new mobile number

c. System will detect there is a change of mobile number. System will ask how you would like to handle time card before and after the change of the mobile number.

Existing monthly API call quota is 300 x headcount. For example, a company subscribed 100 headcounts can call API service 30000 times. Customer can now buy addition web service ticket (WST) if more web service calls are needed. 10000 calls is the minimum requirement per order. Paid WST does not have expiry date indeed. If a customer places a new contractor, unused WST can still be used.

For Employee

No. Your employer will not have your faceprint. Your employee will only have your photo upon face registration.

What’s more, unless you choose to store your faceprint in Clockgogo Cloud (which will enable you to punch card in any mobile after login), your faceprint will only be stored in your own mobile.

Category: For Employee

Yes but please make sure you have login with your CGG ID (i.e. the permanent mobile number which was used during your first time registration) before punching card. Otherwise, you can never punch card.

Category: For Employee

Don’t worry. You can still punch card or record outdoor work as usual. Once your mobile gets back to where the Internet is available, time card record will be synchronized back into CGG cloud.

Category: For Employee

Clockgogo mobile app uses the mobile phone number to recognize an employee. For employer which requires face recognition upon punching card, camera will also be assessed upon punching card. Apart from this, no other information will be collected and stored in Clockgogo Cloud.

Most importantly, Clockgogo mobile app will NOT track an employee when Clockgogo mobile app is not opened.

Category: For Employee

Sure! Employee can punch card in any ad hoc working locations. Although such record is not registered under Clockgogo Work Spot (CWS), employer can still selectively (with the help of GPS, sim card and photo captured upon punch card) accept such record as an official punch card records.

Category: For Employee

For employee who changes a new smartphone and keep the original telephone no., they just need to download the Clockgogo App, then login and punch card as usual. For employee who also needs to change telephone no., please use one of the following methods:

(a) Login in your original account (the Tel. No. you provided for your first registration), then punch card as usual. OR

(b) Register a new account with your new Tel. No. Employees have to inform the employer about the change of account. Otherwise, the record of card punching will be invalid.

Category: For Employee

In General, such alerts should be sent to employer or receivers in the list only. For special cases, employer can add the email address of specific employees, even all employees to the list, so that they can receive the alerts as well.

Category: For Employee

For Clockgogo Cloud Enterprise User, employees can punch card on a shared Tablet / iPad with the newly released Clockgogo Share (iPad/Tablet App). In this way, employees without a smartphone can also punch card easily!

Remarks: Clockgogo Share is not applicable to Clockgogo Cloud Community User.

Category: For Employee

If the light condition upon faceprint registration differs from face recognition a lot, you may find it hard to get your face recognized upon punch card. Try not to register faceprint in an extremely light or dark environment.

Category: For Employee

Don’t worry. Clockgogo deploys BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) instead of classic Bluetooth technology.

Category: For Employee

Suppose you punch card four times a day and work twenty-two days a month, data traffic per month is only about 2MB per month in normal network environment, which costs less than USD0.2 in most countries worldwide.

Category: For Employee

It depends on how your employer uses Clockgogo Cloud. For example, suppose you are required to punch card at 0900, 1200, 1300 and 1700 per working day. Now you would like to apply a half-day leave in the morning.

Case 1: You can keep on punch card as 1300 (lunch-in) and 1700 (work-out). Afterwards, administration user can manually adjust the working day, late and working hour result on this date for you.

Case 2: Administrator create a half-day shift which requires punch card record at 1300 (work-in) and 1700 (work-out). This way, an employee taking morning half-day leave should punch card as 1300 (work-in) and 1700 (work-out).

Category: For Employee

Don’t worry. GPS can still be detected whenever you switch on your GPS in your mobile. The Internet connection is NOT a must for punch card with GPS.

Category: For Employee

This is because you have switched off your Wifi. Please note that switching on the GPS and Wifi (even you cannot access any Wifi nearby) can help precise GPS detection. In contrast, whether the Internet connection is available is relatively irrelevant to GPS accuracy.

Category: For Employee

If Android users have installed anti-virus App (e.g. 360 Security, AVG Antivirus, Antivirus & Security, etc.) in his / her mobile, the message may be blacklisted by the App.
Android users can go to “Message Blocker / Filter” of the anti-virus App to double check whether there is any blocked message starting with ‘‘Clockgogo Staff verification code: ……’’.
