Setting up fixed terminals

How do I create a time clock terminal so that employees can clock in and clock out

A fixed terminal lets employees clock in and out using their PIN. You can set one up on either a computer or a tablet, depending on what works best for your workplace.


Computer terminal

  • Runs in a web browser

  • Uses a browser cookie to recognise the terminal

  • If browser cookies are deleted, the terminal will need to be set up again

Tablet terminal

  • Uses the Rota & Time Clock app

  • Includes photo capture, which takes a snapshot when employees clock in or out

  • Photos are saved in the Clock Log for reference

Note: Only admins and managers can set up a terminal
