Checking in and out
One press to start and one to stop. Managers see who is in and who is late against the day’s shift.
Hours, shifts and time off
Hours, shifts and time off, where the rest of the work is

What it does
Check in by phone, with where
New Drivers and field staff check in from the phone’s browser. The phone is asked where it is, once, when the button is pressed — nothing is followed in between. A check-in at one of your places says so; one away from all of them is allowed and marked, with how far. Someone who would rather not share it still checks in.
Fingerprint machines
New Point a ZKTeco machine on your wall at your Meetowt address and each punch becomes the person’s hours, the same hours as everyone else’s. You tell Meetowt your office’s address, or confirm the one the machine called from, and from then on it listens to that address only. A machine that cannot send by itself has its log uploaded from a USB stick. A number nobody has been given yet waits for an administrator.
Shifts and swaps
A rota the team can read, so people see who is on when. A swap is asked for and answered in the app.
Time off, asked properly
Annual, casual, sick or unpaid. Each request names who covers the work, and goes to the person’s manager — or to whoever covers for that manager while they are away.
Balances that add up
Leave builds up month by month or arrives all at once — the company chooses — and days already approved count against it, so nobody books more than they have.
Holidays and days off
Public holidays are in the calendar — filled in for Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, added by the company anywhere else — and a day the company is already off is not taken as leave.
Overtime, approved or taken back
Extra hours are recorded and approved. An approval given by mistake can be cancelled, and the pay follows.
Who sees what
The reporting line decides. You see your own hours and leave; a manager sees the people below them, at any depth; an administrator sees everybody. A colleague at the same level sees neither.
The rota is the one thing read sideways: teammates can see each other’s shifts, because covering a shift needs it.
Good to know
- Somebody at the top of the company, with nobody above them, has their leave approved at once, and the other administrators are told.
- A cover who is away on any of those days is refused, by name.
- Leave already running can be ended early. The days already taken stay counted.
- A fingerprint machine needs a ZKTeco model with the Cloud server setting, and sends over plain HTTP, which is all most of them can do. Meetowt takes only the number, the time and the machine’s serial from it, and keeps no fingerprint, photograph or name.
- New A request that is yours to answer — time off, overtime or a shift swap — can reach your phone as a notification, so it does not wait until somebody opens Meetowt. Only the ones waiting for your decision are announced, not every notice. Meetowt on your phone
Questions
Who approves a leave request?
The person’s direct manager. While that manager is away, whoever is covering for them. If there is nobody above, the company’s administrators are asked.
Can people check in from a phone?
Yes, from the phone’s browser. There is nothing to install. It asks where the phone is once, when the button is pressed, and a person who says no is still checked in.
Can a driver check in away from the office?
Yes. It is allowed, and marked “away from the office” with how far from your nearest place. Only the person, the people above them in the reporting line and administrators see where. A phone’s position can be faked, so it is a record and a reason to ask, not proof.
