Using the Time Clock

The Time Clock Welcome screen

The Time Clock Welcome screen displays buttons for the various types of actions you can perform. You enter your shift and break information by using different “punches.” Punches refer to the types of touch screen buttons that you press. For example, if you are starting your workday or shift, you “punch in”  by pressing the In button. 

The following tables describe the icons and buttons on the Welcome screen.

Note: Depending on your setup, you might not see all the functions shown below.
