Timeclock Overview

The Timeclock allows the manager to manage shifts across all employees. To access the Timeclock on SkyTab POS, the manager must go to Manager > Timeclock.

On the Timeclock screen, you'll see a list of users on the left side of the screen. On the right side of the screen, you are able to choose dates from which to view recorded shifts.

You can also select Show Open Shifts at the bottom of the screen to show who is currently clocked in.

If an employee forgets to clock out or clock in, there are two great features: Future Date Shift Valiation and Concurrent Shift Validation.

• Future date shift validation prevents manually adding a future date to shift start time or end time on a new shift or existing shift. This prevents management from changing an employee's time clock to a time that is in the future or on a different date, which could cause errors in reporting. 
• Concurrent shift validation prevents adding a concurrent shift for an employee. Manually entered shifts by the manager will be validated to prevent the same user from having two concurrent shifts.

For either of these situations, if the incorrect time is selected, an error occurs, prompting the manager to fix the issue. 

 

Add Shift

To add a shift, select a user from the left side and then select Add Shift on the bottom left side of the screen.

On the right side of the screen, you can select a different date for the user to clock in and select from the date and time picker.

You can also select a Clock Out date and time, as well as a Break Total, Cash Tips, and any Notes for the shift. Then select Save.

Edit Shift or Clock Employee Out

To edit a shift or clock an employee out of an open shift, select the date and time parameters for the shift from the top of the screen and select the shift from the resulting list. Select any field to edit or just the Clock Out field to clock the user out. Fields to edit include:
