Using the Attforce Time Clock

The Attforce time clock helps teams keep accurate attendance records for every shift. Employees can clock in, clock out, record breaks, and create a clean record for manager review.

Clocking In

Employees should clock in when they arrive and are ready to begin work.

A good clock-in record helps managers confirm:

• Who started work.
• When the shift started.
• Where the employee was assigned.
• Whether the employee was on time.
• Whether any attention is needed from a manager.

Clocking Out

Employees should clock out when the shift is finished. Before clocking out, they should complete required tasks, add any needed notes, and report issues that happened during the shift.

A complete clock-out helps managers review the shift without chasing down missing details.

Breaks

If your team tracks breaks, employees should start and end breaks from the time clock. This keeps paid time, unpaid time, and work time easier to review.

Managers should review break records regularly to spot:

• Missed breaks.
• Long breaks.
• Short breaks.
• Breaks taken at unusual times.
• Shifts where break rules were not followed.

Late Arrivals and No-Shows

Attforce can help managers identify shifts that need attention. Late arrivals and no-shows should be reviewed quickly so coverage problems do not go unnoticed.

When a shift has a time issue, managers can:

• Contact the employee.
• Reassign the shift.
• Add backup coverage.
• Add a manager note.
• Review the exception before approving time.

Keeping Time Records Accurate

Use these habits to keep attendance clean:

• Ask employees to clock in only when they are ready to work.
• Ask employees to clock out before leaving the location.
• Review missed punches daily.
• Add manager notes when correcting time.
• Approve time only after checking exceptions.
