Blip!

BrightHR

About this app

Blip is a free app for BrightHR customers. It lets you easily track your employees’ work hours and locations on the go. Here’s how it works:


Geolocation

Use the app to create a geofence—a virtual boundary—around your workplace. Then, when your employees enter or leave the geofence, Blip picks up their location and asks them to clock in or out, helping you to know exactly where your staff have worked and how long for.


QR codes

Alternatively, you can use Blip’s smart scanning system to record your employees’ work hours instead.

Your staff use Blip to scan a QR code—a type of barcode—when they arrive and leave work. Then, each time they scan the code, Blip will register them as clocked in or out. It’s that simple.


Breaks

Blip makes it easy to track breaks, too. At the tap of a button, your staff can log the start and end of their breaks, so you can see how long and how often they take downtime.


How Blip helps you:

- Check your employees’ work hours and track their location in an instant.

- Keep an eye on your employees’ breaks and make sure they’re getting enough downtime.

- Change an incorrect shift or break time in a few quick taps.

- Create multiple locations and easily track where your employees have worked.

- View a full history of an employee’s work hours and filter the date range easily.

- Export the work history for an individual or team and save it as a spreadsheet for your records.

Ratings and reviews

App was great! After a while I was being constantly logged out resulting in me looking like I was being late as it took me so long to log back in. However, since I've got a new phone I can't even log in. Hopefully I've not lost a days wage. I tried everything, new password, logging in and out of bright HR, uninstalled and reinstalled app, location on and off etc. It's a different version to what I had before. "We ran into a snag while loading your data" then goes in a constant loop. Please fix!

Company decided to use this and so far my experience of this app has been terrible. Alerts work sporadically. Clocking in/out is unreliable. Since the most recent update it hasn't worked AT ALL. Contacted support 10 days ago and was told my Android OS v12 is too old but they'd look into it. I've not heard anything since. Haven't been able to log any of my hours since then. Has caused more problems than it has resolved for the staff at many branches.

It's frustrating. It works most the time but doesn't always register me clocking out! Normally clicking the 'clock out' button makes a little loading symbol appear then it changes to 'clock in'... But not always. Also not working offline is a pain, not that it's happened yet but using all my data will result in me just not being able to log my hours at all..
