We have multiple ways employees can clock in and out, and each way ensures they choose the correct job. We know that's probably been a headache for you in the past.
Six Ways Your Employees Can Clock In
Your people can clock in with the app using any of the five scenarios below, plus they can call to clock in. The scenarios are covered below; click each article link for more details.
Remember the person & job must be set up on the same Team.
Which scenarios do you have?
1 - The Employee is GPS-tracked at the Job
This is the Simplest Clock In. Your employee is GPS-tracked at the job site. They have to be on the Team for the Job but don't have to be scheduled.
2 - The Employee is Scheduled for the Job
An employee can clock in when they are Scheduled for the job (the schedule is on their Home screen.)
3 - The Employee Can Scan a TimeTile™
An employee can clock into a job if there is a TimeTile at the job. The article covers the 5 rules about clocking in with TimeTiles™.
4 - The Employee Can Clock into an Unknown Job
Employees can clock into an Unknown Job. This is a last resort but may be necessary at times. The app asks the employee why they are clocking into an Unknown Job. They can specify the name of the site. You must edit the time card when it's closed to select the correct job.
5 - The Employee Can Clock In by Entering a Shift Pin.
If you want employees to be able to clock in from anywhere you can give them a Shift Pin. The person just presses 'I need to clock in' and then clicks the button '# Clock in by PIN'. If your company setting requires them to have GPS they will be directed to turn on GPS to 'Always Allow' before the clock in can happen.
6 - The Employee Can Call to Clock In (Telephony)
Employees can call to clock in/out from their cell or job site phone using their access code (10-digit cell number) and a unique 4-digit Shift PIN when unable to use the mobile app. No GPS tracking is available with phone clock-ins.
