Reminding employees to clock in and out

Here's how to send notifications to your employees if they forget to clock in or out.

Ever had employees forget to clock in or out? Don't worry - Rota & Time Clock can send them a friendly reminder automatically.

You can choose whether to remind employees when they forget to clock in, forget to clock out, or both. You can even notify their manager too, so they're aware if someone has missed a clocking.


How to turn on clocking reminders

  1. Go to 'Settings'

  2. Click 'Attendance'

  3. Scroll down to 'Notifications'. Toggle on the reminders you'd like to use and enter how long to wait before sending the reminder.

  4. Click 'Save'.

You can customise:

  • Clock-in reminders

  • Clock-out reminders

  • Manager notifications

  • How long to wait before sending each reminder

❗ Only Administrators can change these settings.


Not receiving notifications?

If an employee says they're not getting reminders, here are a few things worth checking:

1. Check their device notification settings

Make sure notifications are allowed for the Rota & Time Clock app on their phone or tablet.

2. Check the app's notification settings

Open the app and make sure notifications are enabled there too.

3. Update the app

Using the latest version of the app can often fix unexpected notification issues.

💡 If reminders still aren't coming through, it's worth checking both the device settings and the app settings, as notifications need to be enabled in both places.
