How to clock in and out on the BatePonto website (web)

website BatePonto is the most practical way to record working hours for those who work on computers, guaranteeing security and speed without the need to install applications.

The interface is designed to be agile: the employee arrives, identifies themselves, and clocks in in a few seconds, without needing to log in with their email and password every time (provided the browser keeps the cookies saved).

After the initial computer registration, the data collector is ready for daily use.


See how easy it is to register your attendance on the website:


How to register your attendance


  1. Access the address bateponto.pontotel.com.br in your browser.
  • If the computer is already set up, you will see a screen asking for a numeric password.
  • If it asks you to log in, follow the steps in this article.


  1. Enter your numeric password (PIN) on the virtual or physical keypad.



💡 Tip: If you log in using personal access, i.e., a user with employee permissions, the PIN will not be requested. In this case, the system automatically recognizes the employee, and you just need to proceed to the next step.


  1. Below the schedule, check if the name and CPF ( are correct.



  1. Select the type of point you want to record:
  • 1 - Entrance: To start the day.
  • 2 - Break: To go out for lunch/interval.
  • 3 - Return: To return from lunch/break.
  • 4 - Exit: To end the workday.



💡 Tip: If you work a second shift on the same day, we recommend first registering the start time of your first shift. Then, register a new start time to begin the second shift. If it's not possible to register a second time of the same type, contact your company's HR department so that the system settings can be adjusted correctly.


  1. After selecting the type of point, the registration will be made.
  • You can download your registration confirmation by clicking the corresponding button


  1. Finally, click the "Finish" button or wait for the automatic completion time.
  • After completing this step, you will be redirected to the home screen, where you can register again.


Other ways to clock in and out on the BatePonto website


In addition to the traditional registration (entering the PIN and choosing the type of time clock), the BatePonto website offers alternative methods that increase the security and transparency of time tracking. These options vary according to the configuration made by the company in the employee's registration and on the time clock.


1. Registration by User ID and Password (PIN) – Standard method


This is the most common method, explained above. You access the website, enter your numeric password (PIN) , and select the type of clocking in/out (Entry, Pause, Return, or Exit). The registration is completed immediately.


2. Photo Registration (Extra Layer of Security)


Your company may require you to submit a photo at the time of clocking in for later verification purposes. This image will be stored along with the clocking-in record and can be viewed on the timesheet.


How it works:

  • Enter your PIN to be identified.
  • After selecting the point type, the browser will request permission to access the camera. Grant permission to proceed.
  • Position yourself in front of the webcam and wait for the image to be captured automatically.



⚠️ Warning:
  • This function only attaches the image; it does not automatically validate your identity (unlike facial recognition). Therefore, it is necessary to enter your PIN at the beginning of registration.
  • You need to grant camera permission on the device; otherwise, the error message below will be displayed. To learn how to grant this permission, please refer to the article:



3. Voice Recording (Audio Attachment)


Similar to registering with a photo, the system may request a brief voice recording after the type of registration is chosen.


How it works:

  • The browser is asking for permission to use the microphone. You need to grant access
  • You record a short audio message (usually saying your name).



  • The audio is attached to the record and can be viewed on the timesheet.


4. Facial Recognition (Biometrics)


This is the most advanced security feature. Unlike simply attaching a photo, the system compares the captured image in real time with the approved profile photos in your account.


How it works:

  • After selecting the point type, the camera is activated automatically.
  • The system validates your identity. If the recognition is approved, the point is recorded normally.
  • If validation fails, the record may be blocked or marked with an alert, depending on the company's settings.


🚨 Important: The photo, voice, and recognition capture functionalities are part of the Risk Reduction in Registration module and offer greater reliability against improper markings.

Collector Settings (Individual × Collective)


The site's behavior also depends on how the collector was registered:

  • Individual (Personal) Time Clock: The computer is linked only to your user account. When you access the website, you will go directly to the time clock screen.
  • Collective/Impersonal Time Clock: The computer functions as a "shared time clock." Each employee needs to enter their PIN before clocking in.


Learn how to access the site correctly according to your needs in this article: How to register as a data collector or log in to the BatePonto website (web).


Required browser permissions


For all modes to function correctly, it is essential to enable the following permissions:

  • Camera (for photo and facial recognition)
  • Microphone (for voice recording)
  • Geolocation (the system identifies the location via IP address)


💡 Tips: If any permissions are blocked, the registration may not complete or the attachment may not be captured. See how to enable them in this article: How to enable permissions to register time on the BatePonto website (web).
