Do salary with a few clicks

Simply open the punch clock on a device with internet access. Here it is an iPad:

1. The employee chooses his name

When using the punch clock on a tablet, you are certain that the employee has met at work when clocking in. At the top of the screen, you can see a list of employees who are working on that day. This makes it easier for the employee to find his name. If the employee does not have a shift, it is still possible to clock in. If one perhaps does not use a rota, or if the employee gets called into work without having a shift in the rota.

2. Fills out his password

Each employee has their own 4-digits password for the punch clock. This way, it is ensured that it is the employee who has met at work when clocking in. The employee can always choose to receive the password as a text or email, if they have forgotten it.

3. Chooses which shift to clock in at

When the employee has filled out the password, scheduled shifts will be shown. With just one click, the employee can clock in and the time recording will begin. It does not require a shift in the rota to be able to clock in.

The punch clock can also be used directly from the employee's phone through our app:

Include everything when clocking out

When clocking out it is quick and easy to attach a comment to the time recording. This makes it possible for the employee to tell why she left earlier or worked longer than planned. If you want, you can also ask the employee to state the length of their break. You can also set it up, so that they have to clock in for a break during their shift.

It is your call where your employees have to be before they can clock in and out

If your employees should use the punch clock in Smartplans app, you can set it up so that they can only clock in from certain locations.

Adjust the punch clock to the exact needs of your company

Companies are not alike and therefore, your punch clock should not be either. It is your call whether the employees should clock in and out from their break or simply fill it out when clocking out from the shift. What should happen if the employees meet for work earlier than planned - should they receive hours right away or first when their shifts actually start? Perhaps some times should be approved automatically. With only a few clicks, you can set up the rules for your punch clock which becomes effective as soon as you click save.
