# Quickstart for employees
> Sign in, punch in and out, check today, apply for leave, and read your payslip.
Everything you need day to day is in the employee app. Open `https://app.ontime.hosai.app/employee` on your phone and sign in with the email and password your administrator gave you.
Add it to your home screen. It is built mobile-first and behaves like an app once it is there.
The **Today** tab opens on a big status card — checked in or checked out — and a punch button.
Depending on how your organization is configured, punching may ask for:
* **A selfie.** The app opens your camera and captures a single frame. This is what stops somebody else clocking in for you.
* **Your location.** The app checks your position against your work location's geofence and shows you the result before you confirm.
If you are inside the geofence, the punch is recorded and you are in. If you are **outside** it — a client site, a field visit — you can still punch, but you must pick a reason. That punch is marked **pending** and goes to your manager to approve.
If location is unavailable, the app says so plainly rather than pretending to know where you are, and you can still punch with a reason.
Still on **Today**: your punch trail for the day, hours worked so far, break time, and this week's totals. If something is missing — you forgot to punch out yesterday, or a terminal didn't register you — that is what a **regularization** is for.
Open **History**, find the day, and use **Request regularization**. Say what actually happened and what the record should say. It goes to your manager.
The **Leave** tab shows your balance for each leave type. Tap **Apply**, pick the type and the dates, and choose whether each day is a full day or a half.
Before you submit, OnTime shows you a **quote**: how many working days the request actually consumes (weekly offs and holidays in the range do not count) and what your balance will be afterwards. You can name a backup contact for while you are away.
Submitting sends it to your manager. Some leave types also need HR to sign off after your manager does — the request shows you which stage it is at.
The **Pay** tab lists your payslips by month with the net amount, plus a year-to-date summary. Open one for the full breakdown: earnings, deductions, and the attendance that drove it — paid days, loss-of-pay days, overtime hours.
Tax documents such as Form 16 appear here too, once your organization has generated and distributed them.
The **Me** tab holds your profile, the devices enrolled to you, and your active sessions. If you have signed in somewhere you no longer have — an old phone — sign that session out from here.
## If something looks wrong
Don't edit around it — raise it. A regularization creates a record of what you claimed and who approved it, which is what protects you when payroll runs. Your manager also sees a **Report a problem** thread if you want to just ask a question first.
