Use the Employee Time Clock

The Employee Clock-In page is where staff record the start and end of a work session using their own PIN. Managers do not clock people in from here; they review the results in Daily Attendance.

Each attendance session normally records the employee name, the clock-in time, the clock-out time once work ends, the total duration, the date, whether the session is active or completed, and any note a manager has added.

1. Open Employee Clock-In from the Time Clock bar, or from the employee Time Clock welcome page.
2. Select Enter Your PIN.
3. Enter your PIN, which is four to six digits, and select Continue.
4. On the next screen, check the location status if your home uses location checking.
5. Select CLOCK IN to start work, or CLOCK OUT to end work, whichever button is shown.
6. Wait for the confirmation message on screen.
7. If the button is blocked because of location, move closer to the workplace or select Refresh Location, then try again.

Some employees must be within an allowed distance of the workplace to clock in or out. If they are too far away, the screen shows that the action is blocked until the location improves.

Some administrator-linked profiles do not require location, and the screen indicates when the location requirement is bypassed.

• Use only your own PIN.
• Never share your PIN with anyone else.
• Never clock in or out for another person.
• If your PIN is not accepted, or the screen shows the wrong status, contact an authorised manager on duty.

A PIN is like a bank card PIN. Managers should never ask for it, guess it, or write it down where others can see it.

Once a session is recorded, it appears in the manager's Daily Attendance view, first as an active session and then as a completed session after clocking out. Managers compare attendance with the rota and add notes where something needs explaining.

Attendance and the published rota are related but not always identical, so figures are always reviewed before they are used for payroll.
