This is a simple overview of how to the ECIT Employee app and how to get started with it.

User types

There are three main types of users in ECIT Employee:

  • Employees – Who time report (Currently deviation reporting or project reporting)
  • Managers & Appprovers – Who approve time reports for further processing (Generally team leads, managers etc).
  • Customer Admins – Who administrate the users from the customers perspective. (But in ECIT Employee, they can ONLY Approve / Reject timesheets)

Important to note here is that Approvers ONLY Approve time reports. Customer Admins and Managers can also time report on their own time sheets.

Tenant Admins (The ECIT consultant), are unable to use the mobile app, they are limited to using the HR Manager via the ECIT portal.
