Does scanning work on the web dashboard?
No. Scanning uses the phone camera, so it is in the Yakka Labour mobile app.
For employers
Scan a worker’s digital ID to start their shift at the gate
Updated
Every worker on Yakka Labour has a digital ID with its own QR code. At the gate, a supervisor scans it with the phone camera and the worker’s shift starts on that jobsite. No paper, no typing names, and no worker clocked onto two sites at once.
How it works
-
Open the jobsite
On your phone, open the jobsite the crew is arriving at.
-
Tap “Scan labourers Code”
The camera opens ready to read a worker’s ID QR.
-
Scan the worker’s ID
The worker shows the QR from their app. One scan starts their shift on this jobsite.
-
Shift shows up live
The worker appears as on site in the live site monitor, and their hours flow into timesheets.
When to scan instead of self check-in
Workers can check themselves in with the site QR or code. Scanning their ID is useful for a supervised gate, a first day on site, or workers whose phone GPS is unreliable.
If a worker already has an open shift on another site, the scan is blocked, so nobody is clocked onto two jobs at once.
Face check-in as an extra option
Builders can also turn on face check-in in the mobile app, which compares the worker’s face with their profile photo on the device itself. It is off unless you switch it on. Read up on labour hire compliance for what records to keep.
FAQ
What if the worker is already clocked in somewhere else?
The scan is blocked while they have an open shift on another site.
Can workers still check themselves in?
Yes. Workers can scan the site QR or type the site code themselves.
