Changing an employee's PIN

How do I change the PIN codes my employees use to clock

Need to update an employee's clocking PIN? You can change PINs individually or update them quickly from the employee list.

Before you begin

Employee PINs and employee numbers are different

  • PINs are used for clocking in and out

  • Employee numbers are typically used for payroll purposes

šŸ’” When a new employee is created, Rota & Time Clock automatically assigns a unique 4-digit PIN. Employees cannot change their own PINs – only managers and administrators can update them.


Option 1: Change PINs from the employee list

If you need to view or update PINs for multiple employees, you can do this directly from the employee list.

  1. Hover over the HR menu option

  2. Select Employees

  3. Click the Emails dropdown menu

  4. Select the Time and Attendance PIN option

  5. Click on any PIN to edit it

This is the quickest way to review or update PINs across your workforce.


Option 2: Change an individual employee's PIN

To update a single employee's PIN:

  1. Go to HR > Employees

  2. Open the employee's profile

  3. Make sure you're in the Profile section

  4. Scroll down to the Employment section

  5. Click Edit in the top-right corner

  6. Enter the new PIN in the Time and Attendance PIN field

  7. Make sure the PIN contains at least 4 digits

  8. Click Save.

The employee can then use their new PIN immediately when clocking in and out.
