We go to great lengths to ensure workers clock into the right jobs so that you will have perfect time cards.

How Pro Ensures Employees Clock Into the Correct Jobs

Teams in Pro help ensure employees clock into the correct jobs. You will put people on Teams and then link those Teams to the job using Shifts. It might sound like a typical schedule, but the shift is a slot that allows anyone on the Team to be able to clock into it.

In order for a job to be eligible to be worked it needs a Shift / Team assigned to it. Assign Shift/Teams through the job's Schedule function.

Examples of Team - Shifts:

  • am and pm shifts - different teams work them

  • weekday and weekend

  • porter and floor team shifts

How is your business set up?

How to Assign a Team & Shift to a Job

Go to Customers/Jobs > select the job to open that Job Profile > select Schedules tab, and then the + button to add shift.

Click + Create a new Shift, Next

Assign a Team and name the Shift. Examples: Weekday shift, Weekend shift, AM shift, PM shift, Line shift, Dock shift.

Assigning a Pay Code Override

This is where you add the Pay Code Override for anyone on that shift, such as a Weekend Pay Code Override, like the example below. Anyone who works this job automatically gets the pay differential assigned to that pay code.

Click 'No' to the question, "Is a schedule required for Floor Team to clock in to this Job?"

You don't have to create a schedule. Anyone on the Team can clock into the job anytime.

Scenario for the Team/Shift Concept

You hired a new person who needs to work in the next hour. No problem. Put the person on the Team assigned to the job. When one of three conditions is met, they see that job as an option to clock in:

  1. they are GPS located within the geofence of the job or

  2. they scan the location TimeTiles™ at the jobsite or

  3. they are scheduled for the job
