ℹ️ Approval requirements for time registrations can be switched on or off.

ℹ️ You might need to remove access to job codes if the purpose only is daily work hour registration.

ℹ️ If the purpose is daily work hour registration. We recommend activating reminder if a work day is missing a time entry.

πŸ’ When the registration method and approver flow have been clarified - the desired method for your time registration is saved on the policy. And it is then valid for the employees linked to the policy.

Employee must edit today's work hours if deviation

If this method is selected, employees does not have to create their daily work hours.

They only have to edit the official work hours if there is a deviation.

If there is no deviation, the employee does not have to do anything!

Checklist

Should some of the features below be connected to your time registration?

Notifications

Push notification: Reminder

If an employee forgets to register their hours, a friendly reminder is sent the following day.

πŸ’ A notification is only sent if the previous day is a working day and is not booked with any absence.

ℹ️ This reminder requires official work hours created. Because a day without standard hours created is a day off and no reminder is sent.

Guides for standard hours methods:

Live feed: Remember to check out today

When the employee has checked in, a counter is automatically created on the front of the mobile screen that counts the number of hours checked in and with a direct link to check out.

ℹ️ This reminder is only supported by the check in/out time registration method.
