ESS Mobile

ESS Mobile for Android makes it easier for hourly workers to enter their Attendance on Demand time on their mobile phones, using simple taps every day. This app is intended for employees of companies that utilize Attendance on Demand’s backend infrastructure. Features include clocking in at the start of a shift or checking how many vacation days you have banked.

What You Can Actually Do With It

The main function is flexible time tracking whether you punch in and out all day long or report total hours worked by timesheet. People will be able to submit a paid time off request straight from the app. They will also be able to access their schedules and shifts. Further, they can check benefits balances without having to track down HR. You’ll receive employee notifications each time action is required like to fix a missing punch or respond to a supervisor note.

ESS Mobile offers more than the essential punch in/out mobile functionality where your employer has enabled this feature. You can report expenses along with mileage, tips for the hospitality industry, etc. Get real-time updates to know when your notes to manager have been sent, your salaried timesheet data has been reviewed, when your approval has finalised. It’s workforce management software in a pocket-sized tool that adapts to whatever the configurations are in your organization.

The Reality of Workplace Tech Dependence

If a certain configuration is not enabled by your employer, the app will not work. Because ESS Mobile is built on Attendance on Demand’s backend, it’s not going to help your organisation at all if your company uses something else. The app is currently ad-free and free of charge, suggesting that once on board, it wouldn’t be too pricey.

But user feedback indicates some rough edges. Common complaints in reviews mention.

– Try this:

– Logins fail near the critical moment that block.
– Problems logging attendance due to crashes of app.
– Users find it difficult to navigate especially workers switching from other management systems.
– Technical issues that undermine your trustworthiness when recording hours of work.

The catch? Your experience depends on how strong your employer’s Attendance on Demand implementation is and how stable the specific app build you are using is on your device.

Who This App Actually Serves

ESS Mobile aims at hourly wage earners, shift workers and anyone else in organisations where mobile self-service of HR functions is considered an important capability. If you’ve shifted to Attendance on Demand, your requirement for a time tracking application that allows you to manage attendance from almost anywhere truly offers great convenience. The adaptive interface can be used by any organization because it adapts.

The community feedback on the app indicates that it works best when the use case is clear-cut such as clocking in, requesting time, checking the schedule and so on. When technical issues arise or your employer’s configuration isn’t set up the way you work, the downsides become greater. The mobile app is not an independent tool to download and use. It is the mobile extension of your company’s workforce management software. If your employer is a customer of Attendance on Demand and keeps it working properly, ESS Mobile makes simple administrative tasks as easy as using your mobile device. For everyone else, it’s simply not an option.
