SMS & Voice module offers great functionality for your people to clock in and out from their shifts without the need to have the latest smart or iPhones using simple SMS or a phone call. The clock in, break start, break end and clock out times are recorded by the system allowing you to track the attendance on the ‘Time Clock’ page, in REAL TIME.
Please note if you would like to activate the SMS & Voice Module you would need to contact us as we need to allocate a phone number to your company. This can be done via the blue bubble chat on the bottom right-hand corner of the system or send an email to support@parim.co.
Please activate the phones access for your people on their profile by switching ‘Phone access’ button from ‘OFF’ to ‘ON’. Please make also sure that you have subscribed to Time & Attendance module.
After you have activated the phone access, the person will receive an email with the following details:
A clock in phone number which is unique for your company
A 4-digit PIN code that is unique for each person who works for your company
When the person has received the notification email from the system, then he or she can start to make all clocking actions - clock in, break start, break end and clock out - using either a phone call or SMS.
