The Time Worked feature can have the start and stop fields in the Time Worked grid automatically populated by users clocking in and out from the portal navigation bar or login screen.

1. Before you begin this configuration, you will need to enable the Time Worked feature, see Configure Time Worked.
2. For users to be able to clock in and clock out, enable either of the following portal settings:

   • Enable Clock In functionality on the Log in page: Allows users to clock in from the login page. Users will need to enter their employee number and password, then select Clock In / Out instead of signing in. They can then choose to stay logged in or they will be logged out automatically.

     Note: Currently, users cannot clock in via SSO from the login page.

   • Enable Clock In / Out from the Navigation Bar: Enables a clock icon in the navigation bar (next to the user's name). When users select their name, they will be able to clock in or clock out. The clock icon displays as green when a user is clocked in and red when a user has clocked out.

3. To enforce a meal break for a certain length of time before an employee can clock in again, enable the portal setting Minutes to restrict clock in if a user has clocked out on a meal break. This setting allows you to set the number of minutes (per PR Company and PR Group) that users should wait to clock in after they clock out on a meal break.

   Enter the PRCo, PRGroup, and number of Minutes in the meal break.

   If a user attempts to clock in before the designated length of time for their meal break, they receive a warning message, but can still choose to clock in.

   

   Note: This setting applies to clock-in / clock-out from the login screen and Kiosk, but not from the navigation bar or the FM Mobile Offline Time Clock Kiosk.
4. To allow users to select the line type for the time they are clocking in, Configure Line Type Entry on Clock In.
5. If you want the Clock In page to display only jobs from the JC Company that matches the employee's PR Company number, enable the advanced portal setting Limit Jobs available to clock-in by PRCo.
   Note: This setting limits the jobs by PR Company only when clocking in from the login page or the navigation bar—it does not limit jobs listed when clocking in from a Kiosk login page.

   If this setting is not enabled, jobs from all JC Companies listed in the portal setting Enabled JCCos for Portal Timecard Entry (semi-colon separated) will display on the Clock In page.

6. The Time Worked feature can also capture the user's location when they clock-in and clock-out.

   • Before you enable Location Tracking, you will need to obtain a Google API Key and link it to your portal. For details on this process see Create a Google Map API Key.

   • The portal setting Enable Clock In / Out with Location Tracking to Auto Fill Time Worked Grid will allow the portal to request the location. When this setting is enabled users will no longer have the ability to modify their clock-in and clock-out time from the Time Worked Grid. Only Timecard Admins will be able to modify the Time Worked Grid for payroll groups they have permission to.

     Users can check their location by selecting the location pin icon on their Time Worked Grid.

   Note: When using Google Chrome, the website you are accessing must be HTTPS for the browser to allow location tracking to be enabled.
7. To allow Managers to see a summary of the location on a timecard enable portal setting Enable Location Validation on Timecard Approval. Managers will be able to see the following when they select Review & Approve on the Timecard Approval page (Approval > Timecard Approval).
   
8. Since users cannot modify their start and stop times, you can enable the portal setting Allow Timecard Approvers to edit Time Worked Entries even if Clock-in Validation is enabled. If this setting is enabled, those who are assigned to approve Timecards (Managers) will be able to modify or edit the time clock punches made by the employees they have permission for. Job Approvers will not be able to modify the Time Worked grid.
   Note: Users must allow the portal to track their location, if a user has accidentally blocked location tracking see article How to Reenable Location Tracking in a Browser.
9. If there are users you want to limit for clock-in and clock-out, configure the following portal settings:

   • If you are allowing some users to clock-in and there are others who should not, you can assign an Employee Group to the setting Do not allow mobile clock-in for members of the following employee group. Users assigned to this group will not be able to clock-in from the login page, navigation bar, or non-PIN-protected kiosk mode. When users try to clock-in they will receive the following message:

     

   • When a user clocks in on one day and then clocks out the next, the portal will clock them out at 11:59 PM and clock them back in at 12:00 AM the following day. This allows you to capture overnight work. If there are users who do not have permission to work overnight, you can prevent potential inaccurate time for multiple days by assigning an Employee Group to the portal setting Employee Group to exclude from overnight clock-in.

10. If your company requires signatures on timecards you can enable Require Sign Clock Out and modify Custom Verbiage Clock Out Sign portal settings (Admin > Portal Settings > Timecards > Show Advanced > Time Worked).
