Getting started
How do we get started?
Get in touch through the contact page. We set up your company with you: working hours, offices, public holidays and your first admin. Your admin then adds the team.
How long does setup take?
Most companies are live within a day. Teams with several offices or different working hours take a little longer, and we help you through every step.
How do people get an account?
There’s no public sign-up. Your admin adds each person with a username and a password and gives it to them in person. Only the name, username and password are required; everything else can be filled in later.
What does my team need to install?
The HyrDal app on iPhone or Android. Checking in and out only works from the phone app. Admins and managers can also use the web dashboard from any browser for everything else.
Does it work for companies with several offices or sites?
Yes. Add your offices to the company profile. Every check-in and check-out records where it happened, so it works the same in an office, a shop or on a building site.
Which languages are supported?
HyrDal is available in Albanian, English, German, Turkish, Kurdish, Romanian, Finnish, Swedish and Italian. Everyone picks their own language in the settings.
Everyday use
How do I check in and out?
Open the app and tap Check in when you start work. You can pick the project you’re working on. When you leave, tap Check out and, if you like, note what you did.
I checked in by mistake. Can I undo it?
Yes, within the first 5 minutes. Cancel the check-in and the shift is removed as if it never happened. After that, the shift can only end with Check out.
What if I forget to check out?
The app reminds you that you’re still checked in. Check out, then ask your admin or manager to set the real end time. Their name stays on the shift and you get a notification.
What happens without internet?
Checking in and out still works. It’s saved on the phone, marked as offline, and sent as soon as you’re online again. Offline check-ins up to 3 days old are accepted.
How do I request time off?
Ask for vacation, sick leave or other time off in the app. Your admin or manager approves or declines it, and you get a notification. Sick days can be sent afterwards, and you can take back a request that isn’t decided yet.
Can I see my own hours?
Yes. Your history shows every shift with totals per week, month or any dates you pick. Each shift has a report with its times, distance and the places you were at.
I forgot my password. What now?
On the login screen, tap “Forgot password?” and enter your username. If your account has an email, a link to set a new password is on its way. If not, your admin can set a new one.
I lost my phone. What should I do?
Log in on another device and tap “Sign out other devices” in the settings. Changing your password also signs you out everywhere else.
Location & privacy
Do you track where my employees are?
Only during shifts. From check-in to check-out, the app records where the phone is about every 5 minutes, also when the app is closed. Nothing is recorded before check-in or after check-out.
Who can see the location?
Admins and managers. While someone is checked in, they see where their phone was last seen on a live map. After the shift, the shift report shows the route, stops and distance for that day.
How long is location kept?
Location points are deleted automatically after a year. The hours themselves stay, so payroll records are never lost.
Can someone fake their location?
On Android, positions coming from fake-GPS apps are flagged on the shift, and managers get a notification to check it.
Can shifts be changed afterwards?
Not quietly. Shifts are recorded by the phone. An admin or manager can only add a shift the phone missed or set a forgotten check-out, for this month or the last. Their name stays on it and the person is notified.
Who can see our data?
Only people in your company, and only what their role allows. Employees see their own records, managers see the workers linked to them, and admins see the whole company.
How do you handle personal data?
We only use it to run HyrDal for your company, and we never sell it or use it for advertising. Our Privacy Policy explains everything in detail. Read the Privacy Policy →
Payroll & reports
Can we use it for payroll?
Yes. The hours report shows, per person, the shifts, hours worked, scheduled hours, overtime, late check-ins, time off and holiday work, for a week, month, year or any dates. Export it to CSV from the app or the dashboard.
How are late arrivals counted?
Against each person’s working hours: the company’s, or their own if they have different ones. A check-in more than a minute after the scheduled start counts as late. Every shift also shows if someone came early or late and left early or stayed longer.
Is overtime calculated?
Yes. Hours beyond the schedule count as overtime in reports, and during a shift the app shows the overtime as it builds up.
How do public holidays work?
Add a holiday once, for one day or several, and choose if it repeats every year. Everyone gets a notification, holidays aren’t taken from time off, and work on a holiday is counted separately as holiday work.
Can we track hours per project?
Yes. Create projects with a client, site address, dates, status and a project manager, and add the workers. They pick the project when they check in, so you see the hours and notes for each one.
Pricing
How much does HyrDal cost?
You pay per active user per month, in euros, and the price per person goes down as your team grows. Contact us and we’ll send you a quote for your team size.
Do we pay for people who left?
No. When someone leaves, deactivate them: they can’t sign in anymore, but their hours and reports are kept.
Is the demo free?
Yes. The demo is free and there’s no obligation. If HyrDal isn’t right for your team, we’ll tell you.
