How to Use Clock In/Out

Record precise start and end times for shifts — separate from project time tracked in the desktop app, but essential for attendance and payroll policies.

Clock In/Out

1. Open Clock In/Out

   Go to Attendance → Clock In/Out under Manage in the left sidebar. Use Search by member name, the Member filter, and date range picker to narrow the log. Click Export when you need a file for payroll or HR.

   

2. Read the attendance log

   Punches are grouped by day (for example, Thu, May 21, 2026). Each row is one member’s shift for that date.

   • Member Name

     Profile and name of who punched — use search or Member filter to find one person.

   • Clock In

     Start time for the shift (for example, 07:44 AM). Hover the header info icon for how clock in is defined in your org.

   • Clock Out

     End time (for example, 08:02 PM). Missing clock out is an exception to fix before payroll.

   • Time Worked

     Duration between clock in and clock out (for example, 7h 41m) — Staffic calculates this from the punch pair.

3. Member: punch in and out

   When your organization uses attendance punches, Clock In when you start your shift or arrive on site. Clock Out when you finish — including breaks if your policy requires a separate punch. You can still run the desktop tracker for project and task time while clocked in.

   • Forgot to clock out

     Edit or correct the entry if your role allows, or ask a manager to fix it before payroll.

   • Remote work

     Some teams clock in at the start of the workday even when tracking projects remotely — follow your company rule.

   Clock In/Out is available on all plans with time tracking. Shift schedules and color-coded status may require Elite — see Pricing.

4. Manager: review and export

   Scan each date group for missing rows, odd durations, or members with no clock out. Compare Time Worked on this page to Timesheets for the same day — large gaps may mean someone tracked project time but forgot to punch (or the reverse).

   • Daily review

     Open yesterday and today each morning to confirm the team clocked in as expected.

   • Export

     Use Export for payroll files or HR audits for the filtered date range and members.

   • Exceptions

     Missing clock out, duplicate punches, or clock time that does not match tracked hours — correct before Payroll.

   Pair with Reports → Time & Activity when you need project-level detail beyond punch times.
