5.Enable Ad-hoc Clocking (Optional)
Depending on your business needs and requirements, you can enable or disable this feature for your organization.
Auto Clock out is a feature that will automatically clock out employees if they have forgotten to do so themselves at the end of their shifts. Since your staff are rostered for their shifts, there are two options for you that will best fit the rostered & scheduled employees.
NOTE
If you haven't configured an auto clock-out method, and your staff forgets to clock out, it can result in inaccurate timesheets. The system will continue to show the employee as clocked in to their job. The following day, the employee won't be able to clock in to their next job until they've clocked out from their previous one. This can lead to inaccuracies in the timesheet.
Auto Clock-Out setting for shift based companies
This is the best option for your organization to handle both the scheduled and the none scheduled or Adhoc shifts. Go ahead and enabled and take advantage of the fully rich features.
Scheduled Shift. This option will allow the system to automatically clock any employee who forget to clock out from their scheduled shifts, where the system will put the shift end time as their assigned and scheduled shift end time.
Overtime Consideration. If your employees sometimes work overtime, it is recommended to increase the number of hours the system waits before enforcing the auto clock-out. This allows employees to complete their overtime hours and then clock out manually.
Adhoc Shifts.
You can now specify how long an Adhoc shift should last, and the system will automatically clock out the employee after that specified duration. This will ensure that employees who clocked against an Adhoc shift will not exceed specific number of hours for their shifts.
The default duration for Adho shifts is set to 10 hours as a default value. This setting is already configured for all companies currently using the "Set clock-out time to scheduled shift end time" feature.
Companies using this option will need to adjust this default value to suit their needs. You also have the option to prevent employees from clocking in for Adhoc shifts. You can do this for each individual employee or for all your employees
1. Go to Setting > App Setting > Time Attendance Setting > Rounding & Auto Clock Out
2. Turn On the Auto Clock Out
3. Tick turn ON the option "Auto Clock-Out Settings for Shift Based Companies"
7. Configure Rounding

(Round the clocked time to the scheduled time).

11. Setup & Configure GPS & GeoFencing
When you turn ON the Capture employee GPS when clocking, this will capture the employee GPS location when they clock-in and out from their shifts. You will be able to see this information on Google maps on the time attendance screen by clicking on the GPS blue icon next to the site name . Click hereto see how you can view you where employees clocked in and out from on Google maps:
Two Important options available on how your employees can clock in & out while capturing their GS locations
1.Prevent employees from clocking outside the job site GeoFencing area.
If you select this option, make sure you set an Auto Clock Out option. Otherwise, if you staff forget to clock out from their shift, then they will have to go back to the job site in order to clock out, or they will need to wait to the next day until they go back to the same job site and clock out which will cause and record inaccurate time.
2.Allow employees to clock outside the job site Geofencing area but warn the employees that their shift might get rejected.
If you select this option, the system can provide you with plenty of information when the employees clock outside the job site:
A.You can get notified by email and push notification when employees clock out their jobs site
B.On time attendance screen, their shift will be tagged with error, usually a number inside a red circle indicating all the errors that took place during the shift.
C.On time attendance screen, you can filter and see all employees who clocked outside the jobs sites.
D.On the system dashbaord, you can view a list of all employees who clocked outside the job sites.
12. Setup & Configure Alerts Setting
ClickTime offers a variety of alerts to help you manage your rostered workforce efficiently. These alerts can be sent via email, mobile notification, and SMS to both your employees and your organization's supervisors and managers. This ensures that everyone stays updated with the latest information on-site and at remote locations, providing the critical day-to-day information needed to run operations smoothly and effectively.
Your last step is to select the alert recipients. ClickTime gives you many options to select from as the recipients for the alerts:
A.Site Supervisor
If you select this option, make sure that you assign a supervisor to all your sites. Just go to the site and populate the site supervisor field with the assigned supervisor.
If you have multiple supervisors for your site, you can add multiple recipients to receive the alerts
B.Team Supervisor
