how to get the app
If you're an employee, get the TimeWorksPlus Employee app from the App Store or Google Play. If you're a manager, you can use the TimeWorksPlus Mobile for management tasks.
setting up the app and configuring notifications and location services
The first time you log into the app, you'll go through an initial setup.
You can receive notifications from the app for these events, depending on your company's settings:
- Time off request approved/modified/denied
- Company messages from the timekeeping system
- "Forgot to clock in" reminder
- Schedule published
- Shift added/modified/removed
- Open shift becomes available
- Schedule change/remove request decision
To disable the notifications, open the three-dot menu at the top right and select Settings. Then choose Manage Notifications and disable Show Notifications.
You'll also see a screen that asks if you want to enable location tracking, which is for companies that allow employees to clock in and out through the app and use the AllianceHCM and SwipeClock geolocation services. This must be enabled, so click Allow Location Tracking and Allow.

Depending on the account, they may also have access to:
Mobile Punch: This lets employees clock in and out on the app. For any employee that can access this feature, the clock appears in the Time Clock tab on their app's dashboard. If they don't have access to this feature, they will see My Dashboard, which contains company messages, hours working during the pay period, and other information.
Request Time Off: Employees can submit a request for time off through the app. This triggers an email to their supervisor, who can approve, deny, or modify their request in the desktop app.
Push Notifications: Employees can enable push notifications in the TimeWorksPlus Employee app, although some of the notifications request that your company use TimeSimplicity Scheduling.
