Many organizations place computers in their depot for employees to use to clock in using the Time and Attendance (TAA) Portal (https://portal.synovia.com), a punch-in setup sometimes called a kiosk. Sometimes their office workers use the portal to clock in and out.

Note: For details about the TAA Portal user interface, see Navigating the TAA Portal. For information about the TAA module, see An Introduction to Time and Attendance and Navigating the Time and Attendance Module.

There are different methods of clocking in using the portal:


  • With your default job on the Clock-In tab. (See the section "Clocking In with Your Default Job on the Clock-In Tab" below.)
     
  • With a different job type on the Clock-In tab. (See the section "Clocking In with a Different Job on the Clock-In Tab" below.)
     
  • Within the TAA Portal after logging in on the Portal tab. (See the section "Clocking In After Logging In to the TAA Portal" below.)
