Check in and out at the gate

Tap your card at the reader when you arrive and when you leave. That tap is the record your pay is calculated from.

What you need
  • Your Site Card

There's no sheet to sign and nobody's notes to trust. Your tap at the gate is your evidence.

  1. Tap in when you arrive

    Hold your card to the reader at the gate. It records the time and the site.

  2. Read what the reader tells you

    The reader shows straight away whether your tap was accepted. If it wasn't, it tells you why.

  3. Tap out when you leave

    Tap again when you leave, so your whole day is recorded.

  4. If the reader says no

    If it says you're not booked on this site, check your bookings. If your card isn't active or was reported lost, talk to the site supervisor.

    Tip

    Your taps are your evidence. Pay is calculated from them, not from anyone's notes.
