Staff can use the Check-in Kiosk, Quick Scan, or Attendance Mode to check themselves in and out of any room they are assigned to, depending on the program's settings. Staff can also view their timecards directly from the mobile app!
Administrators and Managers can also take the same steps as staff to check themselves in and out of brightwheel.

Scan a QR Code
If your program provides a printed, or digital QR code, staff can do touchless check-in/out by scanning the QR code directly from the brightwheel app!

Log in to the staff brightwheel account on the app
Tap the ≡ menu in the top left corner
Tap the Check in/out button at the top of the menu
Use the QR scanner that's opened to scan the program's QR code (either printed or displayed on the Kiosk) and continue checking in
🚩 QR codes can only be scanned directly from the brightwheel mobile app. Codes cannot be scanned through a device's camera app.
Check-in Code
Each user has a unique 4-digit check-in code automatically assigned to them and can be customized at any time. Codes can be found and edited in your brightwheel account. |

View Timecard on the Mobile App
As a staff member, timecards can be viewed right from the mobile app with total regular and overtime hours worked! These entries can only be viewed, not edited or deleted. If an entry should be modified, please connect with a program administrator. Timecards will be filtered by a given pay period, if a pay period is selected by admin in their school settings.

ℹ️ If you need to modify, or add a timecard, please contact your program administrator.
FAQs
Why am I getting the error message, “This timecard cannot be updated. The staff member already has a timecard within this time period” when checking in?

This error is happening because the staff member has open or overlapping timecards. Please contact a program administrator to correct these before attempting to check in again.
