Concept: Time Kiosk

Time Tracking customers can set up the Workday Time Kiosk so that workers can check in and out at a central location without needing to use a personal mobile device. This simplifies time recording when:

You want a backup time recording method.
Your workers don’t all own mobile devices.
Your workers don’t have the Workday app.

To set up the Time Kiosk, you must install the Workday Time Kiosk app on a tablet that:

Has an internet connection.
Runs a supported version of iOS or Android. See Workday Community: Update: Supported Devices for Time Kiosk.

You can centrally configure Time Kiosk devices using Time Kiosk templates that you create and edit in Workday. Managers use their Workday credentials to sign in to a tablet, select a preconfigured template and organization, and the Workday Time Kiosk app applies the template settings to the kiosk.

The Workday Time Kiosk works even when offline so that workers can record their time during local network or Workday scheduled downtime. Data stored on the kiosk when it's offline is automatically transmitted to your tenant when you reconnect the app to the internet. The Time Kiosk stores locally encrypted employee data on the tablet for 30 days. To check in during downtime or when the Time Kiosk is offline, a worker must have checked in to the device within the previous 30 days while the device was online. Reconnecting the app to the internet frequently ensures data stored during offline mode is transmitted to your tenant and to limit potential loss of the data.

Workers enter their employee IDs to check in and out on the app. Check-ins and check-outs flow to Workday as time clock events. The Time Kiosk supports both numeric and alphanumeric IDs. It doesn’t support facial recognition, biometrics, or RFID.
