Celayix Kiosk Overview
Celayix Kiosk is a PIN-based time clock application that allows employees to quickly and securely clock in and out of their shifts using a shared kiosk device. Designed for fast-paced work environments, the kiosk provides a simple and reliable way to record employee attendance while ensuring accurate time tracking for payroll and scheduling.
The kiosk is commonly deployed on shared devices such as tablets or mobile phones at job sites, entrances, or supervisor stations.
How Employees Use the Kiosk
Employees can use their Employee ID (PIN) or supported barcode/QR code to perform actions such as:
- Check In
- Check Out
- Start Break
- End Break
The kiosk interface is designed to be simple and intuitive, allowing employees to record punches quickly with minimal interaction.
Offline Mode Support
Celayix Kiosk supports offline mode, allowing employees to continue recording punches even when internet connectivity is unavailable.
When the device reconnects to the internet:
- Punches automatically sync back to the system
- Attendance records are processed normally
- Shift matching and payroll calculations continue as expected
This helps ensure uninterrupted time tracking in environments with unstable or limited connectivity.
Kiosk Setup and Configuration
The kiosk only needs to be configured once before deployment. Your Implementation Specialist will assist with downloading, configuring, and connecting the kiosk to your scheduling and time tracking system. After setup, supervisors can lock the device into kiosk mode for employee use while maintaining secure access to settings through supervisor credentials.
During setup, administrators can configure:
- Assigned client and site
- Device name
- Break recording permissions
- Sync settings
- Shift matching behavior
