Employee app

The 4Geeks Payroll employee app is a mobile app (Android) that gives employees self-service access to their payroll information.

Availability

The employee app is available on the Business plan and above. Some screens and actions depend on your organization’s configuration and backend data; where a feature requires it, that is noted below.

Getting started

  1. The employer adds the employee in the console, which sends a magic-link invitation.
  2. The employee installs the app and signs in.
  3. The app loads their profile, payslips, attendance and vacation balance.

The app supports English and Spanish; the language can be switched in Settings.

Screens

Home / Dashboard

  • Latest Deposit card — the most recent net pay, the processed date and the account currency.
  • YTD Earnings card — year-to-date gross, estimated taxes and net.
  • Recent Payslips — the last few payslips with a link to the full list.
  • Quick actions: Message HR and Request Vacation.

Payslips

The Payslips History screen lists past payslips with search by period or status. Each row shows the period, status (for example Paid) and amount.

Time tracking

The Tracking screen is where employees clock in and out:

  1. The app requests location permission.
  2. Tap Start Shift — the app records the clock-in with the current GPS position.
  3. While the shift is active, the app shows a running timer and a map of the route travelled.
  4. Tap Check Out to finish; the route and time are saved.

The screen also shows This Week hours (against a 40-hour target) and Recent Sessions with IN/OUT badges.

GPS and connectivity

Clock in/out records are written to your payroll attendance when the employee is signed in. Location is captured to verify presence.

Vacation

The Vacation screen shows the available balance (accrued − taken), a year-to-date accrual breakdown, and recent requests. Balances come from the employee’s payroll record; approved leave in the console updates them.

Support (HR chat)

Reachable from the dashboard’s Message HR action, the support screen is an encrypted chat between the employee and HR, organized in cases with a status (Open, In Progress, Closed).

Settings

  • Profile summary.
  • Language toggle (English / Español).
  • Sign out.
