This helps you streamline payroll, reduce errors, and maintain clear records of every shift.

Frequently asked questions

1. Do I need separate PINs for different sites?

Yes, each site can have its own PIN to ensure secure and organised tracking.

2. Can I switch between multiple sites?

Yes, simply log out of the current site, then log in with the PIN or credentials for another site.

3. What if my device is offline?

You need an internet connection to synchronise attendance data and confirm login details.

4. How do I change my PIN if I forget it?

The site PIN used to log a device in is different from your own personal Time Clock clock-in PIN. An admin or manager resets it from the dashboard — go to Settings > Time and Attendance and click the cloud icon to reset the global PIN, or open the site under the Sites tab and click the eye icon to reset that site’s specific PIN. See keep the Time Clock app logged in with PIN for full steps. Looking to reset your own personal clock-in PIN instead? See the Time clock PIN guide.

5. Can I use the same device for multiple sites?

Yes, you can log out and log in with different site PINs on the same device.

6. Can I set the same pin for both sites?

No, each site uses a unique pin to identify your account. If you have multiple sites you want to keep logged in under the same tablet, try using our global pin setting in Settings > Time and Attendance.
