See when your locum arrives.
Locums check in and out on their phone. We check they are inside a small area around your practice, and use those times for the hours on their invoice.
- Their location is taken once at check-in and once at check-out. Nobody is tracked during the shift.
- If someone checks in from outside the area, you see it, with their explanation.
- You compare the booked hours, the check-in times and the hours they send before you approve them.
Example: checked in at 07:56, 36 m from the entrance
How a booking works
From posting a shift to paying the invoice.
- 01
Post the shift
Choose the profession, skills, hours and rate, and tell the locum what to expect.
- 02
Find someone
Offer it to your own locums first, or search for someone nearby.
- 03
Confirm
You both agree to the booking and its terms. The locum gets your handover pack.

Check in and pay
GPS check-in and check-out set the hours. You approve them, pay the locum's invoice, and can book them again.
