   • the employee
   • their job
   • when they clocked in and clocked out
   • any cash tips earned for that shift

5. Once done, select Save at the bottom of the screen.

Clock Out an Employee

If you select an employee still clocked in, you can choose their name and then press the Clock Out button to log them out for that shift.

Adjust Labor Settings

Labor settings can be adjusted by tapping the Labor Settings tab at the top.

Here, you can edit options such as when the pay period starts, the type of pay period, the type of breaks, minimum wage, and overtime rules.
You can also set different daily and weekly thresholds and the overtime multiplier.
Once you are satisfied with your settings, select Save.

Note: Dates on the schedule are not dictated by the labor settings pay period but are instead set from the business settings.
