Auto-clocking allows shifts to be automatically added to employee timesheets without the employee needing to clock in or out manually.
There are two ways to set this up.
Option 1: Auto-clock a specific shift
If you only need to auto-clock certain shifts, you can do this when creating the shift.
When adding a new shift:
Create the shift as normal
Tick the Auto-clock option
Save the shift
Once the shift has finished, the hours will automatically appear in the employee's timesheet.
This is particularly useful for things like training sessions, meetings or other planned activities where employees don't need to clock in.
Option 2: Auto-clock all shifts for an employee
If an employee never needs to clock in and out, you can enable auto-clocking for all of their shifts.
To do this:
Go to HR
Open the employee's profile
Click on their Settings menu
Under Time and Attendance, tick 'This employee does not need to clock in or out'
Click 'Save'.
From that point on, the employee's scheduled shifts will automatically transfer into their timesheets once the shifts have ended.
