If “clocking in” makes you picture a gray machine, a worn-out work badge, and that 8:59 line with Monday-morning faces… it’s time to update your workplace vocabulary. Starting today, you can start jobbying with JOBy.
Jobbying describes a super simple habit: clocking in digitally with the JOBy attendance tracking app, with a single tap, wherever you are (in the office, at another site, or even working remotely when authorized). It’s a small gesture, but it can have a big impact on your organization and your costs.

What does jobbying mean?
Jobbying = logging your job-in (and therefore attendance) from your smartphone, as if your phone were your work badge… but with a lot more intelligence and a lot less bureaucracy. With the JOBy app (available on iOS and Android), employees can job-in with a simple tap on the screen and the HR team is happier for it.
In real life, you’ll hear things like:
“I jobbed in. I’m in the office!”
“I think I forgot something today… can you check if my job-in went through?”
“Tomorrow I’ll be jobbying from home.”
Why the “physical” work badge is outdated
The traditional work badge still works… until:
- you have only one location and everyone is always there (spoiler: that’s almost never true anymore);
- nobody ever works off-site;
- there are no construction sites, shifts, business trips, or remote work;
- nobody ever loses their badge (science fiction).
That’s exactly why attendance apps exist: to log hours accurately and quickly, reduce human error and costs, and make data available in real time through a dashboard. And yes, jobbying also rhymes with “less hassle, peace with Excel sheets.”
JOBy: the attendance tracking app made for jobbying
JOBy is a minimalist but complete app, easy for people who need to job-in, and powerful for the people who need to manage everything. Here are the benefits that make jobbying a small everyday revolution:
1. One tap and you’ve clocked in
Clocking in with a single gesture, fast, clear, and easy for anyone… even for those who consider Bluetooth a mythical creature.
2. Goodbye installation and maintenance costs
With JOBy, there’s no need for physical time clocks: no more hardware to buy, install, repair, or replace. Just an app on a phone.
3. Real flexibility
Job-ins can be made from authorized locations (other sites, or approved home locations for remote work), making attendance management fit modern work.
4. HR-ready reports
On the back end, admins can check total hours, day-by-day data, and even who is currently clocked in, live. And yes, they can also print neatly formatted reports.
5. Privacy isn’t optional
JOBy uses geolocation only to verify that the clock-in happens in the designated place, and it activates only when the user actually taps the app to job-in (it’s not there to track people around).
Jobbying helps reduce abuse
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: clocking in for someone else. With a physical work badge, sometimes you can just hand it to a colleague and—done. With a smartphone… it’s much harder. Who would hand over their phone to a coworker, risking that company secrets (and not only company secrets!) get exposed? Result: less abuse, less absenteeism, and fewer missing data points.
