Clock-In Status Indicators

Your current status is displayed at the top of the Time Clock screen: 

Job Costing at Clock-In

If your company uses job costing:

• The job item selectors appear on the Time Clock screen before you tap Clock In.

• If a job layer is marked as mandatory, you must select an item before you can clock in.

• Once your selections are made, tap Clock In to start your shift with the chosen job items attached.

Clock-In Photo Capture

If your company requires photo verification:

• After tapping Clock In, your camera will open automatically.

Breaks

Starting and Ending a Break

• While clocked in, tap the Start Break button.

• When your break is over, tap End Break to resume work.

Break Types

• If your company has configured multiple break types, you will be asked to select one (e.g. Paid Break, Unpaid Break).

• Choose the appropriate type before starting your break.

Missed Break Confirmation

• If you clock out without taking a scheduled break, a Missed Break prompt may appear.

• Review the break details and confirm or edit as needed.

Break Countdown Timer

• While on break, a countdown timer shows how much break time remains.

• This helps you return to work on time.

GPS Location at Clock-In

• If location sharing is enabled, your GPS coordinates are captured when you clock in.

• Make sure Location Services are turned on for the Timecloud app.

• Your location appears on your check-in record and is visible to managers.

Filtering Employees (Managers)

If you are a manager viewing the employee punch board:

• Use the search bar to find specific employees.

• Apply filters by group, job, or clock-in status to narrow the list.

Triggered Forms

• Some companies require you to complete a form when clocking in or out.

• If a triggered form is configured, it will appear automatically after you tap Clock In or Clock Out.

• Complete all required fields and tap Submit.

Wellbeing Check-In

• If your company uses the ThinkLadder integration, a wellbeing prompt may appear during clock-in.
