01 Chicago Heights Steel · Employee portal

The plant floor, in your pocket.

One app for everything a Chicago Heights Steel shift needs: clock in on site, check your schedule, review and submit your hours, request time off, report an absence, check your PTO and attendance standing, inspect equipment, and sign off on safety training. Built for gloves, noise, and the dead-zone corners of the mill, not for a desk.

Available to Chicago Heights Steel employees and authorized contractors. Sign in with your company account.

02 What's inside

Every shift task, in one place.

One portal replaces a stack of paper forms and separate tools. The apps you see on your home screen depend on your role, so everyone gets exactly the tools their job needs and nothing it does not.

Access Control

Clock in where the work is

Punch in and out from your phone, verified on site three ways: a Bluetooth check near the clockhouse, a location check the moment you tap, and a rotating QR code as backup. Lose signal in the mill and your punches queue safely, then sync the moment you are back online. No more lines at a single terminal.

Hours & Schedule

Your timecard and schedule, always current

See your work schedule, review your hours by pay code, and submit your timecard. Supervisors review and approve right in the app, and approved hours export cleanly to the company payroll system, so pay day stays accurate.

Time Off

Request time off in seconds

Scheduled days off, leave, and pay-in-lieu requests, signed on screen and routed straight to your supervisor for approval.

Off / Late

Call off without the phone tag

Report an absence or a late arrival in a few taps, then follow every submission and its review status in one place. Your supervisor sees it right away.

Trainings

Safety training that signs itself off

Run a toolbox talk from a template, check off the agenda, mark who attended, and collect signatures on the spot. The signed PDF record builds itself.

Inspections

Equipment checks, done at the machine

Daily and monthly inspections for cranes, forklifts, and mobile equipment run as guided checklists right on the unit: photos for anything flagged, two-inspector sign-offs where required, and a finished PDF record for every inspection. Due and overdue checks surface themselves before they become a problem.

My HR

Your record, no office visit needed

Check your PTO balance and attendance points, review your own punch history week by week, keep your emergency contacts current, and file a medical or injury report straight from your phone — with the review status visible the whole way.

Supervisors & Admin

A live view of the floor

Supervisors and administrators see who is currently clocked in, manage schedules and the roster, fix missed punches, open a gate remotely with a full audit trail, and get a daily report that reconciles clocked hours against submitted timecards — cost center by cost center, ready for payroll.

Notifications

Plant alerts that reach the right people

Targeted notices by shift, department, or who is currently clocked in, so important messages land with the people they actually concern. You choose which alerts you get — including an optional reminder when you forget to submit a timecard.

On the roadmap: an in-app payroll workspace, new-hire onboarding, and two-way messaging are being built on the same platform and will appear as new apps on your home screen as they ship.

03 Security & privacy

Company data stays company data.

The app runs on Chicago Heights Steel's own infrastructure and is built around least-privilege access. We do not sell your information, and we never use it for advertising.

Self-hosted

Data lives on company-controlled servers in the United States, not in a third-party app vendor's cloud.

Role-based access

Employees, supervisors, guards, and administrators each see only what their role permits, down to the individual feature.

Encrypted in transit

Connections between the app and the server are encrypted, with sign-in sessions that expire and revoke cleanly.

Biometric stays on device

Optional fingerprint or face unlock is handled entirely by your phone. Your biometric data never reaches the company.

Honest about location

Location is read only at the moment you tap to clock in or out, just to confirm you are on site, and you can clock in by Bluetooth or QR instead. You are never tracked off the clock.

No sale of data

We never sell, rent, or trade personal information. Read the details in our Privacy Policy.

04 One app, every screen

Built once, runs everywhere your people are.

The same portal works on personal phones, shared tablets, the clockhouse displays, and a desktop browser for the office.
