Available for: Salaried employees whose employer uses the Patriot Time and Attendance add-on and has turned on time cards for them.
The Patriot Worker Portal app is not available for 1099 contractors at this time.
The Patriot Worker Portal app is rolling out. Patriot Worker Portal is a new, separate app that will replace the My Patriot app. When your account is switched over, you will see a notice on the My Patriot login screen. If you still use the My Patriot app, see Salary Employees: Recording Time in the My Patriot Mobile App.
Download the Patriot Worker Portal app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Log in with the same username and password you use for your web employee portal at www.mypatriot.com.
As a salaried employee, you enter the total hours you worked each day on the Time tab in the Patriot Worker Portal app. You do not punch in and out. When the pay period is done, you submit your time card, and your employer reviews and approves it before payroll.
If your time card shows a Punch In button, your employer has you set up for time punches. Use How to Enter Time and Submit Your Time Card in the Patriot Worker Portal App instead. If you don't see a time card at all, contact your employer.
