The maximum shift

We think the easy way to clock in is by clicking one single button.

Not an IN, OUT, or BREAK button, just one botton... That handles it all.

This way, it avoids the mistakes of employees clicking the wrong button, and it avoids you having to fix them later.

To make this work, we use a computer algorithm (program) that knows in advance what the next punch should be.

For example, if an employee clocks in at 8:00 AM, it knows their next punch will be a clock OUT.

Then, if the employee is clocked OUT, it knows the next punch will be a clock IN. Simple, easy peasy.

But what if an employee forgets to clock out?

Maximum shift

A maximum shift is the maximum number of hours employees work during a shift. And has nothing to do with time clocks reading minds.

As a default, our system assumes nobody works longer than 14 hours during a shift... If your employees do, you can set this for 18 hours or longer.

This means if an employee clocks in at 8:00 AM but forgets to clock out, then a punch the next day at 8:00 AM will be considered an IN punch... As that punch is greater than 14 hours from the last punch.

In addition, the timecard will also show their OUT punch as red dashes. Meaning it was "missed", and letting you know it needs editing.

Overall, this will make life easier for you.

Now getting them to remember to clock out is another story.
