The Employee App lets you sign in to your employer’s workspace and use the employee services enabled for your account. The information available or requested depends on your employer’s configuration. HR Monster processes customer-controlled employee records on behalf of the employer as described in Our role above.
The app uses account identifiers and authentication credentials to sign you in. Depending on the features enabled, it retrieves or submits personal and contact details, employment information, identity documents and profile images, banking details, attendance records, leave balances and requests, expense claims and receipts, workflow inputs and attachments, notifications, and payroll or payslip information.
When you choose Clock in or Clock out, the app requests foreground location permission and attempts to capture your current location for that attendance action. It sends available coordinates, accuracy, capture time, and a device-provided simulated-location indicator with the attendance request to help verify the workplace and apply your employer’s attendance rules. The app does not continuously track your location or request background location access. If location is unavailable or permission is declined, it records the capture status; the attendance outcome depends on your employer’s rules.
Camera access is used to scan a QR sign-in code. When you choose an image for a profile, identity document, receipt, or request attachment, the selected image is uploaded to provide that feature. These features do not require microphone recording. You can change camera, photo, and location permissions in your device settings; declining a permission may prevent the related feature from working.
Employee records and submissions are handled within the employer’s workspace according to account permissions, including review by authorized HR staff or approvers. Service providers involved in operating the service are described in How we share Personal Data below. If you choose to save or share a payslip, the device’s sharing interface passes the file to the app or destination you select, whose own privacy practices then apply.
The app stores preferences and some cached service data on your device. With Remember me enabled, native sign-in tokens are stored using the operating system’s secure credential storage. Attendance and payroll query results are excluded from the app’s persistent query cache, but downloading a payslip creates a PDF in the app’s temporary cache. Copies you save or send elsewhere are separate from that cache. Signing out or uninstalling the app does not delete employment records held by your employer or copies you have shared.
Retention of customer-controlled employee records is governed by the applicable customer agreement, employer instructions, and legal obligations, as described in Data retention below. For access, correction, or deletion of employment records, contact your employer or HR team. You can also contact privacy@hr.monster about privacy requests and support@hr.monster for app support. Requests remain subject to identity verification and any applicable record-retention obligations.
