Criteria for Using the My Patriot Mobile App

  • Your employer must pay you through Patriot Software.
  • Employees must have accepted their employee portal invite and set up login credentials (username and password) to activate their portal.

Downloading the Mobile App

Employees can download the Patriot’s mobile time and attendance app from the Apple App Store for iPhones or Google Play Store for Android phones.

Please make note of the version of your phone’s software version. You may need to update your phone before you can download the time and attendance app.
