Jobs, Trips, Vacation & Receipts in RecMan Employee

This article covers managing your jobs and workplace locations, registering trips, tracking vacation and absences and handling receipts.

My jobs

Displays your active and inactive jobs. From here, you can also create or edit job details and set your workplace location to receive time tracking reminders.

Reminders at workplace location

Workplace location reminders let the app automatically prompt you to start and stop the Work Timer based on your proximity to a job's location.

To activate this feature, select the job and switch the toggle "Remind me at a location" on. Tap the location row to search for the address, or select "Use current location." Set the trigger zone and save your changes – the app will then remind you to start the Work Timer as you approach your job location, and to stop it when you leave.

Once set, a map with the location is displayed on the main page whenever you're in the trigger zone. You'll receive an approach push notification when crossing into the trigger zone, and a leaving push notification once the timer is running and you exit the trigger zone.

Location

Tip

To use this feature, allow the app permission to send notifications and use your current geolocation in the app settings. Location reminders work best when location access is set to "Always" rather than "While using the app," so the app can detect your arrival or departure even when it's not open. You can grant this from the Onboarding or Settings page.

Trips

Register and manage your work-related travel. Create trips, track their duration, and connect them to specific jobs. Each trip can include a destination, description, and attachments such as travel documents or invoices. Setting a default currency for a trip ensures receipts logged during that trip automatically use the correct currency. You can log per diem (meals/expenses) for trips as Additions in Manual work logging. 

Creating a trip

Vacation and Absence

Gives you an overview of remaining vacation days and absence history, including a summary of your absence over the previous 12 months.

To register a vacation, press "+" and select "Add vacation," then choose start and end dates – the duration and remaining balance are calculated in real time, with an optional note before saving.

To log an absence, tap "+" and choose "Add absence." You'll need to provide the date along with start and end times. The "Use the specific article" feature offers absence articles, made available by the employer. A description is required, and you can upload supporting documentation such as medical certificates. When you register an absence, the system automatically notifies your manager.

Receipts

Create and register receipts, switching between "To approval" and "Approved" statuses.

Adding a receipt

Press "+" and choose from camera, photo library, last photo or browse files. After uploading, fill in the details and save – OCR suggests the amount automatically, though you can enter a custom value. Currency conversions happen instantly as you type, with the rate shown. Saved receipts also appear in the Work and Logged Work sections for the corresponding date.

A totals overview at the bottom shows the count and total amount of logged receipts; swipe up to preview the amount in a different currency. Delete an unapproved receipt via the Receipt details screen or by swiping it left.
