In the field of workforce management, the safety and well-being of employees is paramount. Welfare Check is designed to offer new tools to the Managers, to proactively address Worker safety.
Through the “Welfare” feature, the manager can set a “Total time for Welfare Check”, based on which the system will ask the Worker to press the “Check” button of the mobile app to verify that he/she is OK.
If the Worker doesn’t press the “Check” button within the expected time, the web app will create a “Missed” welfare check for that Worker, on the Welfare Check page.
If the Welfare Check is enabled for a Worker, but he/she hasn’t started the Patrol yet, the Status will be “Neutral”.
From the moment the Welfare check function is activated for a Worker, the system will wait for the regular Checks and update the Worker’s Status in real-time based on his/her actions.
Let’s see step by step, how to set it up for your Worker:
- Log in to the web app and press on the “Welfare” tab.

- The “Total time for Welfare Check” field is 30 minutes by default. This consists of two variables (“Minimum Check-in Span” and “Response Time Span”)
Minimum Check-in Span: How often will your Worker be asked to Check
Response Time Span: How much time does your Worker have to Check, before being declared as “Missed” – (unsuccessful Welfare Check)
Of course, both of these fields are fully customizable, you can set your own preferred Minimum Check-in Span and Response Time Span for your Workers.
Minimum values for these fields: Checkin span: 5 min and Response Time Span: 1min

- Inside the “Welfare Check” page, you can enable/disable the Welfare functionality for all the available Workers and Worker Groups of your account by selecting them and pressing the “Enable”/”Disable” button.
For each Worker, you can check the following fields:
a) Worker name
b) Worker ID
c) Status:
Missed: means that Welfare-Check is Enabled, the Worker has Started a Patrol and did not Check on time.
Checked: means that Welfare-Check is Enabled, the Worker has Started a Patrol and has Checked on time.
Neutral: means that Welfare-Check is Enabled and the Worker hasn’t Started a Patrol yet through the mobile app.
Disabled: means that Welfare-Check is Disabled.
d) Last Missed Date/Time – (the last date and time that the Worker didn’t Check on time)
e) Branch Office
