Time clock

## Purpose and prerequisites

Record work and breaks against the correct person, location and job. Sign in with time-clock access and an assigned location. Depending on organization/location settings, camera access, location access, an activity tag, briefing acknowledgement or attestation may be required. Follow the actual prompts; this guide does not define pay rules.

## Employee walkthrough

1. Open `/dashboard/time-clock`. If a location selection screen appears, select your assigned location. In **Kiosk Mode**, use **Search your name...** and select your own name.
2. Select the correct job. The screen displays **Please Select a Job to Clock In** when a job is required. Select any required activity tag.
3. Choose **CLOCK IN**. Complete camera, location, briefing and attestation prompts when presented. A briefing may require **Acknowledge & Clock In**.
4. Verify that the screen now shows an active work record and elapsed time. If the action fails, do not assume the record was created.
5. Start a break with **START BREAK** and end it with **END BREAK**. Check the displayed working/break state after each action.
6. At the end of work, choose **CLOCK OUT**, complete any required prompts, and check the resulting state or shift summary.

Mobile web: open `/mobile/time-clock`; the main labels are **Clock In**, **Take Break**, **End Break**, and **Clock Out**. Recorded status labels include **Recorded Working** and **Recorded On Break**. Do not interpret **Clock records unavailable** as clocked out.

## Manager walkthrough

1. Confirm the intended location and employee before using the shared kiosk flow. Do not select another employee casually.
2. Review time-clock settings for the location when employees cannot select a job or meet required camera/location/activity conditions.
3. If records are unavailable or an employee reports a missed punch, verify the actual records through the organization's approved review process. Editing timesheets or approving corrections is outside this guide's verified walkthrough.
4. Organization settings may enable automatic clock-out when leaving a configured boundary. The application contains polling and location checks; confirm the configured behavior with your manager before relying on automatic clock-out.

## Platform differences

- Desktop web: location/person kiosk selection, job and optional activity selection, **START BREAK**/**END BREAK**, and conditional acknowledgements are present.
- Mobile web: dedicated recorded-state display, **Refresh clock records**, conditional clock-out photo capture, and **Take Break**/**End Break** are present.
- Native iOS and Android: unverified. No claim is made about native offline punches, background geofencing or matching camera requirements.

## Troubleshooting

- **No locations assigned to you.** Ask an administrator to confirm your assigned location and organization.
- Disabled clock-in: check job selection, required activity tag, location restrictions and camera processing.
- Location/camera failure: check browser permissions and the displayed error; do not bypass a required organization condition.
- **Clock records unavailable**: use **Refresh clock records**, check connectivity, then ask the manager to verify records if the problem persists. Avoid repeated submissions until the existing record is checked.
- Clock-out failure: verify whether an active entry remains, preserve the failure details and contact the manager.

## Knowledge check

1. What should you select in **Kiosk Mode**? **Answer:** Your own name and the correct location/job.
2. Does **Clock records unavailable** mean you are clocked out? **Answer:** No; the current record cannot be reliably read.
3. What mobile web control ends a break? **Answer:** **End Break**.
