Real‑Time

Manage coverage from the floor with kiosk time clock app

Because updates sync instantly to web and mobile, you’re not waiting for end‑of‑day reports—you’re fixing coverage before service slips.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Questions on Open Shifts? We have the answers.

  • Staff enter their PIN, select the relevant action (Clock In, Start/End Break, Clock Out), and follow any prompts (e.g., late reason, photo proof if required). The event posts to Live Attendance and the timesheet instantly.
  • Yes. The kiosk is site‑bound when you sign in to that location and can be kept PIN‑locked. This prevents clock‑ins being attributed to the wrong site and keeps settings consistent per venue.
  • The kiosk needs a stable connection to sync clock events. If your network drops, reconnect and continue; any gaps can be reviewed and corrected in Approvals & Variance before payroll. For fragile networks, keep a mobile clock‑in option as backup.
  • Yes. If Photo Proof is enabled for the site, the kiosk prompts for a quick selfie at clock‑in/out (and optionally breaks). Those images appear alongside the time entry during approvals for easy verification.
  • Employees tap Start Break and End Break on the tablet. Break durations flow to the timesheet, and if Photo Proof is enabled for breaks, the kiosk will prompt for a selfie at those points too.
  • A single device can be used for different locations by signing out and signing in to the correct site. For busy or geographically separate areas, we recommend a dedicated kiosk per site so lines move quickly and policies stay cleanly separated.
  • Use Manager Logout to end the session and the tablet’s OS screen lock for device‑level security. You can also mount the device and restrict other apps to keep staff focused on the Time Clock.
  • Managers will see the exception during Approvals & Variance. Add notes, adjust the out time (or break times), and save—so only approved records move to payroll.
  • The kiosk focuses on time events (in/break/out) to keep traffic moving. Staff can view rosters or personal details in the mobile/web app; managers handle costing and approvals in their dashboards.
