Celayix Kiosk is a PIN-based time clock application that allows employees to quickly and securely clock in and out of their shifts, including in offline mode when internet connectivity is unavailable. Commonly used on shared devices such as tablets or on-site kiosks, the app provides a simple interface where employees enter their Employee ID to record time entries. This ensures accurate attendance tracking while maintaining ease of use in fast-paced work environments.

Before employees can begin using the kiosk, it must be properly configured and connected to your scheduling and time tracking system. Once set up, the kiosk becomes a centralized tool for managing real-time employee attendance.

Your Implementation Specialist will help you download the Celayix Kiosk app and guide you through the setup process. They will ensure the kiosk is properly configured for your organization, including setting up Employee IDs (PINs), applying kiosk rules, and connecting the kiosk to the correct location and system settings.

You can also configure system rules—such as shift matching windows and rounding settings—to further improve accuracy and ensure time entries align with your scheduling policies.

Proper setup ensures employees can clock in and out smoothly and that all time entries are accurately recorded.
