Install and sign in to the Athena employee app, which shows your shifts, your timesheets and your leave on your phone.
An invitation email from your company. The app is available by invitation only.
Open the invitation email on your phone.
Follow the link to install the app. On iPhone the invitation comes through Apple TestFlight. On Android it comes through Google Play.
Open the app.
In Email, type the email address the invitation was sent to.
Tap Continue.
Enter the code sent to that email address.
If a QR code screen appears, tap Don't use multi-factor authentication. You do not need an authenticator app.
You are signed in. The bar at the bottom of the screen holds the tabs. For what each tab shows, see the Reference tables.
There is no password. A new code is sent to the same email address each time you sign in.
Your profile is behind the round avatar in the top right corner of each main tab. It shows your employee ID, your skills and qualifications, and your settings.
The app is also on the App Store for iPhone. Install it from there if your invitation link opens the App Store.
Home and Schedule are always shown. Your company switches Timesheets and Leave on or off separately, so you can see four, three or two tabs.
A missing tab is not a fault. Your hours are still recorded and your leave is still managed, outside the app. Ask your manager if you need one of them.
If an old link or a notification points to a screen that is not enabled for your company, the app opens Home instead. No error message is shown.
I have not received my invitation email. What do I do?
Check your junk folder first. If it is not there, contact your manager.
The sign-in code has not arrived. What do I do?
Check your junk folder. If it is not there, ask your manager to check that the invitation went to the right email address.
Do I need an authenticator app?
No. When the QR code screen appears, tap Don't use multi-factor authentication.
Does the email have to be the one on my employee record?
No. Use the email address the invitation was sent to. The install link and every sign-in code go there.
Why can I not see the Timesheets or Leave tab?
This is available only where it is enabled for your company. Your hours and leave are still managed outside the app.
Where do I find my employee ID?
Tap the round avatar in the top right corner of any main tab.
